Description
Summary:Major General Nikolai Grigorievich Petrusevich is one of the figures in Russian history of the 19th century, in whose activities the policy of the Russian Empire in the Caucasus and Central Asia in the 1860-1870s is combined. He died on December 23, 1880 at the hands of the defenders of the Dengil-Tepe fortress during the Geok-Tepe battle, but it was he who prepared a strong rear base for the final victory of General M.D. Skobelev in this battle. In the second half of the 1860s N.G. Petrusevich served in the Caucasus and as the head of the Elbrus district (since 1869 Batalpashinsky district) of the Kuban region left a good memory of himself among the Karachais. Subsequently, he took an active part in the conquest of the then Turkmenistan by tsarist Russia. His career shows that the main factor that determined the content of the activities of military officials of the Russian Empire was not their personal qualities, but the nature of the tasks solved at different stages and in different regions by imperial policy – the conquest or integration of peoples and territories. In the article, along with the general's biographical data, a description of some of his works, published in editions that are today bibliographic rarity, is given with the aim of directly acquainting modern readers with them.
