Biography of the military commissar

A few years ago, the military commissar of the Vitebsk region with social networks was on "you". Everything changed in the fall, when Ruslan Skodin decided to start a profile in Tiktok. His short videos found their audience, and today about thousands of people are watching the channel of the military commissar. In the next issue of the Belarusians in the frame, we asked the hero about sudden popularity, stereotypes about the army, and also that the family is thinking about his hobby.

Ruslan Skodin became the most popular military commissar of the Belarusian Internet in the footsteps of his father Ruslan Shkodin was born in Vitebsk in the year in the military family. His father served in the Baltic Fleet, retired retired with the rank of senior midshipman. Ruslan’s childhood passed on a trip. There he went from the platoon commander to the deputy chief of the operational department of the brigade headquarters.

In m he continued his career already in the military commissariat of the Vitebsk region. Ruslan Nikolaevich became its leader about six years ago. No routine, you constantly discover something new for yourself, interesting tasks and challenges appear. In general, you will not get bored. Surely many people think that military commissariats are engaged in exclusively draft events.

In fact, the circle of their responsibilities is much wider. And the call in them, by the way, takes the first place.

And only then the accounting and auditing work. In addition, the commissariat is engaged in the social protection and pension provision of military persons in reserve or resignation. Of course, we do not forget about veterans of the Great Patriotic War, participants in hostilities in the territory of other states. And without ideological work nowhere, ”Ruslan Shkodin says about the nuances.

There are very few veterans in the region - a little over a hundred participants in the battles of the Great Patriotic War. Each of them was honored on May days on the eve of Victory Day. A lot of exercises are scheduled for a year. Unscheduled checks are not excluded. But we are ready for such a turn of events, ”says Ruslan Shkodin. The military commissar states: so far there are many stereotypes about the army.

Many of them formed at the turn of the X when the Soviet Union collapsed. He was enough in the army. Many years have passed. The modern Armed Forces of Belarus have nothing to do with the army. The life of personnel, methods of training, weapons samples - everything has changed for the better, ”the colonel notes. In fact, the same hazing that we are shown in the films is shown in the colors.

In what state of society is the same state of affairs and in the armed forces. To better understand this, compare Belarus of the X and modern country, ”Ruslan Shkodin draws an analogy. Those who heard stories about army horrors advise a military commissar to trust the official sources of information. Only there you can find proven information, ”emphasizes Ruslan Skodin.

In his Tiktok channel, of course, is also only proven facts about the army. And they were submitted so that over two years, more than thousands of people signed on the military commissar. The number of likes under the video strives for 15 million. In most cases, it was fake or submitted in such a perspective that a permissible idea of ​​what was happening in the country was created.

I wanted to tell the truth, show the back of the medal. At first, there was only serious information on the channel. But when the colleagues with whom this account created this account, we realized that such an audience format was not interesting, we began to talk about important things with elements of humor. Very quickly, 5 thousand people signed the channel. And even then it seemed that this was a lot.

The new audience format began to “go,” recalls the military commissar. Ruslan Shkodin Scum Naudachu, who had no experience in jurisdiction of Tiktok, wrote to several million-plus bloggers with a request to help in the development of the account. A couple of people answered, a military commissar told them about his concept. They advised to concentrate on humor. The tips helped a lot, - recalls the military commissar.

Basically, Ruslan Nikolaevich removes the so -called duets or reactions. That is, in a proprietary comic manner reacts to a particular video found on the social network. In the search for content, the military commissar is helped by colleagues, relatives and, of course, subscribers. As a rule, at a time it turns out to shoot one and a half to two dozen videos.

It takes about two hours. As such, there is no shooting schedule, we do everything in the mood and based on the availability of time, content with which you can work, ”the interlocutor says about the nuances. On the channel, however, not only humorous content. Rollers are published, for example, dedicated to mobilization and call issues. So Ruslan Skodin and the audience entertains, and shares useful information.

The highest leadership of the Ministry of Defense, by the way, the non -standard approach only encourages. Our channel is one of them. There is no criticism from the top leadership. On the contrary: such an undertaking is supported. A feature of Tiktok are young users who, as a rule, know little about the army service or think about it stereotypically. We try to fill this gap.

Easy and humor, ”our hero smiles.He notes that over time his Tiktok, the channel turned into a kind of “reception of the military commissar”: - Subscribers often ask me questions about the army, a draft campaign and receive clear, professional answers. If you can give information on the move, I answer quickly. But some questions still require personal reception. Of course, there are people who do not like the channel of Ruslan Nikolaevich.

And they do not hesitate to write about this, as a rule, reducing everything to the question: “Do you have nothing more to do? And I do this in an unusual way. Positive reviews are incomparably more. And one guy wrote, they say, I looked at you to the army, then in the service, now I continue on the "civilian". In the end, if people did not like content, we would not have reached such indicators of the audience and views, ”the interlocutor says.

Ruslan Skodin is not only a responsible military commissar and a popular Tiktoker, but also an exemplary family man. The hero met with his wife Olga on one of the holidays. A few days later, Ruslan called me to ride rollers. Gradually “twisted” the relationship, ”recalls the spouse. Olga is a far man from the army, she works as a medical statistics. And during the pandemic, she conducted tests for the presence of coronavirus infection.

She married Ruslan in the year. Soon, Daria's daughter was born. Today, the girl goes to the third grade of one of the city gymnasiums and, following the example of dad, started her Tiktok Channel. There he publishes mainly videos with dancing. I really like to sing and dance. In the gymnasium, of course, they know about the dad’s channel. Even sometimes they ask him for autographs, ”the schoolgirl smiles.

However, the girl does not strive for popularity. In the future he wants to become a model or singer. Although, admitted, I used to want to follow in the footsteps of my father ... to the tankers! The family tries to spend their free time together. Favorite hobbies - board games and automobile travels. Last year, for example, all Belarus traveled. Each region is special. Grodno, for example, is distinguished by ancient architecture and cozy streets.

Brest is a role in the history of the country. Minsk is the spirit of the metropolis and the rhythm of life. But Vitebsk remains loved and unique. We will not exchange your city for anything, ”says Ruslan Nikolaevich.
