Western diplomats said such a
shakeup would indicate that Gor-
bachev had taken firm control of the
country's military as well as political
leadership.
0(SARKOm, known to be a har-
dliner, was ousted last September by
the late Presidnet Konstantin Cher-
nenko. Several Western experts
believed he was removed because he
opposed Chernenko's more con-
ciliatory line toward the United States
and the resumption of the Geneva
arms talks.
Officials said at the time that
Ogarkov had been transferred to
other duties and some reports said he
had been given command of troops in
the western Soviet Union, although
this was never confirmed.
Ogarkov, assessed by military ex-
perts as a man with in-depth
knowledge of defense issues, is.
perhaps best known to the world for
his skillful defense at a press con-
ference of the Soviet shooting-down of
a Korean air liner two years ago.
THERE WAS some speculation the
return of Ot'hpRc. could signal
tougher Soviet arms policies. In a hook
published last month entitled
"History Teaches Vigilance"
(Ogarkov argued that the United
States was the greatest threat to the
Soviet Union.
He said the Kremlin should combat,
President Reagan's attempts to
achieve military superiority by in-
proving not only its military but also
its economic preparedness.
The shakeup came on the heels of
similar top and lower-level changes in
the Communist Party and the gover-
nment . which began when Gorbachev
came to power four months ago.
The changes have gathered
momentum over the past few weeks
as Gorbachev seeks to remove the old.
corrupt, and inefficient for positions
of responsibility and replace them
with younger, dynamic men in his ef-
fort to get the country moving aain.
