Names of little known but exceptionally awesome Russian generals?
I play a russian-themed army in the miniature fantasy wargame Warmachine.
I want to name my big stompy robots after men (or battleships) of exceptional awesomeness. The game is fantasy, so I want to avoid any names too strongly linked with the real world. (Calling a biggest, stompiest robot "Stalin", would, I suspect, be in bad taste)
Anyone know some appropriate names?
Wikipedia links appreciated.
No offence to Sam, but Lenin was not a general.
Mikhail Dmitrievich Skobelev -In the Turkish War of 1877 he seized the bridge over the Sereth at Barborchi in April, and in June crossed the Danube with the 8th corps. He commanded the Caucasian Cossack Brigade in the attack of the Green Hills at the second battle of Pleven. He captured Lovetch on the 3rd September, and distinguished himself again in the desperate fighting on the Green Hills in the third battle of Pleven. Promoted to be a lieutenant-general, and given the command of the 16th Division, he took part in the investment of Pleven and also in the fight of 9th of December, when Osman Pasha surrendered, with his army. In January 1878 he crossed the Balkans in a severe snowstorm defeating the Turks at Sheynovo, near Shipka, and capturing 36,000 men and 90 guns.
Yakov Kulnev-who first defeated the Swedes and Turks and then routed Napoleon in 1812, once joked: “Mother Russia is good because somebody is always fighting in one of its corners.” The current generation of Russian generals, who had fought in Afghanistan and the numerous hot spots of the former Soviet Union, will hardly agree with Kulnev. During the two recent Chechen campaign, one waged to “restore the constitutional order,” and the other called “a counter-terrorist operation,” they had to fight not only foreign mercenaries, but also their compatriots. And this kills all jokes and a desire to ever fight again.
Konstantin Rokossovsky- On 9th of April, Königsberg in East Prussia finally fell to the Red Army. This freed up Marshal Rokossovsky's 2nd Belorussian Front to move west to the east bank of the Oder river. During the first two weeks of April the Red Army performed their fastest Front redeployment of the war. Marshal Georgy Zhukov concentrated his 1st Belorussian Front which had been deployed along the Oder river from Frankfurt in the south to the Baltic, into an area in front of the Seelow Heights. The 2nd Belorussian Front moved into the positions being vacated by the 1st Belorussian Front north of the Seelow Heights.
