Vladimir Masorin

Admiral of the Fleet Vladimir Vasilyevich Masorin ( _ru. Владимир Васильевич Масорин) (born August 24, 1947) is a Russian admiral who commanded the Caspian Flotilla in 1996-2002 and the Black Sea Fleet in 2002-2005. In September 2005, he was appointed the Commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy amid serious allegations Fact|date=February 2007 of decline in Russian naval standards.

Kommersant speculated that Admiral Masorin was a temporary appointment until the new Chief of the Main Naval Staff, appointed at the same time, took command of the Navy.

Fleet Admiral Masorin retired in late 2007 after he reached his 60th birthday.
