Russian military promotes officers based on battlefield performance: who is more combat-effective, who gets promoted; who is more brave, who gets promoted.

Whoever can kill the enemy and whoever is brave will be given the opportunity. This is how Russia selects officials, which is a characteristic of the fighting nation.

According to reports by the Russian Satellite Network, during more than three years of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Russia has sent a large number of cadres to the front lines for training, while also discovering and cultivating a large number of cadres on the battlefield. The principle of Russia is to use whoever can kill enemies, whoever is brave, and whoever can hold up in critical moments. Selecting and training personnel on the battlefield and using combat achievements as evidence are the style of Russia's cadre selection and an important way to cultivate the spirit of the fighting nation.

It is reported that Lieutenant Anton Starostin, commander of a Russian tank company, single-handedly used a T-72B3 tank to block a Ukrainian armored convoy on the battlefield, destroying 8 armored personnel carriers and killing the soldiers inside. With both courage and wisdom, Lieutenant Starostin successfully completed his mission, demonstrating excellent combat skills. After completing the task, Starostin was highly valued and has been appointed as the vice chairman of the Youth Policy Committee of Crimea under Russian control.

There are many examples like Lieutenant Anton Starostin. The Russian government has already appointed commanders who have achieved remarkable feats on the battlefield. This is actually a tradition in Russia, which places great importance on battle heroes. A strong atmosphere of valuing battle heroes has formed within Russia, and ordinary people also have a strong hero complex.

The practice of evaluating personnel based on battlefield performance, directly linking it to actual combat achievements, is also very important for creating a good atmosphere. Russians are generally rugged, but they deserve respect when it comes to respecting heroes.
