Autor

Baron Pyotr Nikolayevich Wrangel (August 27, 1878 - April 25, 1928), was a Russian cavalry commander who served in the Imperial Russian Army during World War I, earning Russia's highest medal for valor, the Order of St. George (4th Class). When Russia was plunged into revolution, Wrangel eventually joined the White Army, becoming widely recognized as one of the beleaguered counterrevolutionary force's most brilliant and just leaders. He eventually became the final supreme commander of all White forces, personally supervising the evacuation of more than 150,000 soldiers and civilians from Crimea, saving them from certain death. After the White defeat, he continued to serve the Russian émigré community in exile.
