In the US the President is also the commander in chief. He is the military head and any soldier that disobeys if guilty of treason. I don't know Russia but Putin is an autocrat and likely has put his people in charge of their military.They are the heads of states they need a military to support them and they need a population two them. And they need both if one doesn’t support them there’s chaos.
