Grigory Potemkin. Alexander Suvorov. Grandiose winners

Grigory Potemkin. Prince Grigory Aleksandrovich Potemkin -Tauride - this loud and brilliant name has long attracted the attention of historians and poets. His extraordinary elevation and power, an extraordinary life, ending with the same extraordinary death, was interested in both of them. The commander, statesman, the richest person, “temporary man” and “idol” are contradictory, hated and adored. Alexander Suvorov. Among the Russian military and political figures, Alexander Vasilievich Suvorov stands out very sharply in all respects. This was especially vividly and impressively manifested in the elevation of Suvorov, the ordinary Russian nobleman, to the princely dignity and degree of Field Marshal and Generalissimus with the assignment of the title of “prince” and “royal honors”. Of course, all this is deserved by battles and a strategic genius.
