Biography of Brusilova History

In the winter-in the spring, Brusilov led the 8th Army in the Carpathian operation of the South-Western Front. On the Hungarian plain, Russian troops came across a meeting of the Austro-Hungarian and German Corps. In the winter cold and spring slush, the 8th Army waged stubborn oncoming battles with the enemy; She ensured the preservation of the blockade of the Perezhl fortress and thus predetermined its fall, repeatedly conducted successful offensive actions.

Brusilov often appeared in the advanced parts, not taking care of personal safety. In his orders, the “primary duty” of all the commanders subordinate to him, he took care of the soldier, his food and crackers. When visiting Nikolai II, Galicia Brusilov was awarded the title of Adjutant General, which he was not particularly happy in anticipation of imminent complications at the front.

As a result of the Gorlitsky breakthrough of the German troops by the middle of the summer of G., the position was leveled by the stubborn resistance of the 8th and other armies of the Southwestern Front. A long series of positional battles stretched, which did not bring any of the parties to tangible successes and called the “positional impasse”. In March, Ivanova replaced Brusilov, who was enjoying authority, became famous for his famous offensive in the summer of Brusilovsky breakthrough.

Weak support of other fronts and the lack of reserves forced Brusilov to stop the offensive and move on to defensive actions. But the Brusilovsky breakthrough was, in fact, a turning point in the First World War, the Libra bowl bent in favor of the Entente. For the defeat of the Austro-Hungarian army and the capture of very fortified positions in Volyn, in Galicia and Bukovina, Alexei Alekseevich was awarded with St.

George weapons decorated with diamonds. During the events of the February Revolution, he took a noticeable part in pressure on Emperor Nicholas II in order to sign the renunciation.

After the dismissal of General Alekseev, on May 21, Brusilov was in a difficult situation: on the one hand, the commander still stood as a continuation of the war to the victorious end, on the other, he supported the conduct of democratization in the army, which, in the context of the growing revolutionary propaganda, led to the decline in the discipline and fighting efficiency of the troops.

That is why on July 19 he was replaced by this post with a more “firm” Kornilov and was recalled to Petrograd as a military adviser to the government. In the city of G., he died in Moscow from pneumonia. The Soviet government reacted to the former royal commander respectfully: he was buried with all military honors in the Novodevichy cemetery.
