Russian Navy's main headquarters relocation to St. Pete could drag on
01/29/2009Some structures of the Russian Navy's main headquarters have begun relocation from Moscow to St. Petersburg, but the process could take more than a year, an official from the St. Petersburg garrison told Interfax.
“It is possible that the relocation of the Russian Navy's main HQ could take place before the end of the year, but it is more likely that it will happen in a later date,” the official said.
According to the official, this is due to the fact that there is a need to create a management infrastructure in the northern capital and make sure the Navy’s forces are battle-ready.
“To solve these problems, offices for the Russian Navy's main HQ are not enough in themselves,” the official told the news agency. In the meantime the question of who will inherit the offices of the HQ of the Navy in Moscow has yet to be addressed.
