"I recently read the telegrams of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin on the issues of the military-industrial complex ... I want to read these telegrams to the directors of our factories to cheer up, "Medvedev said in an interview with leading Russian media, including RIA Novosti.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin during an expanded meeting of the board of the Prosecutor General's Office called for rational spending on the state defense order and defense industry enterprises.
The head of state stressed that prosecutors should supervise the modernization of defense industry enterprises.
According to Putin, the work is being carried out on a large scale, and it will be extremely useful in the future.
In early March, Putin signed a decree according to which Russian companies that disrupt the deadlines for the state defense order will be subject to external management in the event of a declaration of martial law.
