Colonel General Aleksandr Vasilievich Shlyakhturov (Russian: Алекса́ндр Васи́льевич Шляхту́ров, born 14 February 1947) is a Russian military officer.
Shlyakhturov was appointed head of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) of the Russian General Staff, Russia's largest intelligence agency, on 24 April 2009.[1] Prior to this, Shlyakhturov had served as first deputy to the previous head of the organisation, Gen. Valentin Korabelnikov.[citation needed] Korabelnikov had apparently tendered his resignation earlier in year due to disagreements over reforms of the organisation.[1] Shlyakhturov resigned as head by end of 2011 due to age limits.
He was replaced by Igor Sergun in December 2011.
