The book continues the series “Great Names of Russia” and represents 44 stories about the outstanding Russian commander “White General” Mikhail Dmitrievich Skobelev. “White” not because in the civil war he fought for the whites. Skobelev died in 1882 long before the Great Russian Troubles. He was nicknamed the white for the fact that in battle he was almost always in a white uniform on a white horse, and for the purity of his thoughts and morals.

the nickname “White General”, however, played a cruel joke with him in Soviet times, his monuments throughout the country were demolished, and the name itself was forgotten for a long time. But then, when they tried to forget about Skobelev in Russia, Skobelev was remembered and always honored in Russia close and at the same time as far as a folk hero.

And now, when this matter is in the greatest desolation, the return to Skobelev’s legacy is more relevant than ever. The book is designed for school lessons and is useful for home reading.
