Lavr Kornilov (No World War 1)

Lavr Georgiyevich Kornilov was a Russian military intelligence officer, explorer, and general of Siberian Cossack origin in the Imperial Russian Army during World War I and the ensuing Russian Civil War.

He is today best remembered for the Kornilov Affair, an successful coup in September 1912 that was intended to strengthen Alexander Kerensky's Provisional Government, but which led to Kornilov eventually taking over the Russian Republic and becoming the Minister-President of Russia.

Kornilov escaped from jail in November 1932, and subsequently became the military commander of the anti-Bolshevik Volunteer Army. He and his troops were badly outnumbered in many of their encounters, and he was killed by a shell on 13 April 1933 while laying siege to Ekaterinodar, the capital of the Kuban Soviet Republic.
