Anatoly Konstantinovich Barankevich (December 10, 1959, Kaliningrad, RSFSR, USSR) is a military figure, Minister of Defense (2004–2006), and Secretary of the Security Council (2006–2008) of the Republic of South Ossetia.
An active participant in the Russo-Georgian War in August 2008.
Biography
Barankevich was born in the city of Kaliningrad in the Russian SFSR of the Soviet Union.
In 1977, he graduated from the Ussuriysk Suvorov Military School; in 1981, from the Far Eastern Higher Combined Arms Command School; and in 1989, from the Frunze Military Academy.[1]
He served as an officer in the Siberian Military District, in Afghanistan, in the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany, and in the Volga and North Caucasus Military districts. He participated in both Chechen campaigns.
In June 2004, he retired from the Russian Armed Forces with the rank of Colonel and left for South Ossetia.
On July 6, 2004, he was appointed Minister of Defense of the Republic of South Ossetia.[2]. Since 2005, Lieutenant general of the Armed Forces of South Ossetia (which, *de facto*—according to the Dagomys Agreements—constituted an illegal armed formation).
In December 2006, he became Head of the Security Council of South Ossetia[2].
During the fighting for Tskhinval, the capital of South Ossetia, he led the city's defense against the Georgian offensive on August 8, 2008[3], as almost the entire government of South Ossetia (headed by Commander-in-Chief Eduard Kokoity) had withdrawn to the rear, to the settlement of Java[4][5]. During the fighting, Barankevich personally knocked out two tanks[2].
According to his interview with the newspaper Kommersant on December 5, 2008, the course of these battles exacerbated his conflicts with South Ossetian President Eduard Kokoity, as a result of which he was forced to step down as Secretary of the South Ossetian Security Council[3].
According to accounts from residents of Tskhinvali cited by a Novaya Gazeta reporter, following the fighting for the city, Barankevich went on leave—despite having been appointed responsible for the distribution and delivery of humanitarian aid[6]. By his own account, he voluntarily resigned from his position as the official responsible for humanitarian aid distribution due to conflicts with Boris Chochiev (who refused to pay the salaries of the Cossacks Barankevich had hired to distribute the aid) and Edward Kokoity (who viewed Barankevich as a political rival)[7].
During the 2011 South Ossetian presidential election, he served as an authorized representative for presidential candidate Alla Dzhioyeva[8].
In early 2015, he served as a military advisor to the Head of the Luhansk People's Republic, I. Plotnitsky.[9]
Community involvement
He ran as a candidate for the 7th convocation of the State Duma of the Russian Federation on behalf of the Patriots of Russia party, listed second on the Volgograd regional group ballot.[citation needed]
