  Alexander Suvorov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Suvorov was born into a noble family of Novgorod descent at the Moscow mansion of his maternal grandfather Fedosey Manukov (a landowner from Oryol gubernia and an official of Peter I).
Suvorov himself gained the rank of "prince of the House of Savoy" from the king of Sardinia.
The magnificent Suvorov Museum was opened in Saint Petersburg to commemorate the centenary of the general's death, in 1900.

 A.V.SUVOROV
General Suvorov commanded the defence of the Kherson-Kinburn region from the Southern Bug river to the Perekop neck (that connects the Crimean Peninsula with the mainland).
Under Suvorov's plan Ismail was stormed by 9 assault columns, three of that were based on the island Chatal and landed to the city from boats of the rowing flotilla.
The capture of Ismail brought Suvorov the glory of a great Russian commander, but he did not get the Field-Marshal baton, he got only the rank of colonel of the Leib-Guards Preobrazhensky regiment (in Russia in was a very high rank, Empress Catherine II herself had the rank of colonel of this Guards regiment too).

 Viktor Suvorov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Suvorov claims his pseudonym was his army nickname, which was actually intended to mean "smart-ass." (Aleksandr Suvorov was a famed Russian military commander of the 18th century).
Suvorov's most significant thesis is that Stalin wished to extend Socialism in one country by igniting the war among "imperialist" countries and later "liberating" Europe.
Suvorov cites Soviet attitudes towards Romania as an example of this; although the Ceauşescu regime maintained an aggressively independent stance towards the Soviet Union for many years, no invasion took place such as were launched against Hungary in 1956 or Czechoslovakia in 1968; because, Suvorov claims, no Soviet citizen envied the Romanians.

 Alexander Suvorov
Aleksandr Vasilyevich Suvorov, Count Rimniksky, Prince Italiysky, Russian field marshal, was born at Moscow on the 24th of November 1729, the descendant of a Swede named Suvor who emigrated to Russia in 1622.
Suvorov's lieutenant Korsakov was defeated by André Masséna at Zürich, and the old field marshal, seeking to make his way over the Swiss passes to the Upper Rhine, had to retreat to the Vorarlberg, where the army, much shattered and almost destitute of horses and artillery, went into winter quarters.
Suvorov lies buried in the church of the Annunciation in the Alexandro-Nevskii monastery, the simple inscription on his grave being, according to his own direction, "Here lies Suvorov." But within a year of his death the tsar Alexander I erected a statue to his memory in the Field of Mars, St. Petersburg.

Aleksandr Suvorov followed the tradition established by Peter the Great and was enlisted as a private in the Semenovskiy Guards Regiment in 1742.
Suvorov believed that opportunity of the battlefield is the child of fortune, but exploitation called for intelligence, experience, and an intuitive eye - the "coup d'oeil." On the battlefield, he emphasized speed, surprise, and concentration at the enemy's weakest point.

 BookRags: Aleksandr Vasilievich Suvorov Biography
The descendant of an ancient Russian family of Novgorod, Aleksandr Suvorov was born in Moscow.
Aleksandr's father paid little attention to the boy's education, and only his natural gifts and insatiable thirst for study prevented him from growing into an uneducated man. He acquired a greater store of knowledge than was usual among young gentlemen of his day.
Suvorov's brilliant military skills, his daring disregard of current military theories, and the original methods of waging war peculiar to him seldom found proper appreciation among the military experts of his time.

Suvorov was seriously wounded six times in the course of his career, but he was credited with winning 63 battles without suffering a single major defeat.
Suvorov also believed that "a military man must know the languages of the nations with whom he is fighting," so he developed a fluent command of French, German, Greek, Turkish, Italian, Polish and Latin, as well as some knowledge of Arabic, Finnish and Persian.
Suvorov always chose to be in the most exposed position on the battlefield, for he believed in sharing the same risks and discomforts as his soldiers.

 Notes on Aleksandr Suvorov   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Aleksandr Suvorov was probably one of Imperial Russia's finest military commanders, never having been defeated in battle.
Suvorov began serving in the army in 1748, and during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) he performed a variety of duties and got some experience leading troops into battle.
Suvorov, in one of the truly great feats of military history, was able to cross the Alps with his army, facing a series of brutal marches and skirmishes with the French.

 Self-Directed Work Teams and The Science of Victory (Nauka Pobezhadt)
Suvorov encouraged them in an era when commanders regarded soldiers as chess pieces who were to do what they were told, and only what they were told: Taylorism in its most extreme form.
Suvorov once asked a private on the parade ground a seemingly crazy question: "How many stars are there in the sky?" The private answered, "I don't know, but I'll count them at once!" The man actually began to count stars until the cold induced Suvorov to move on; the private's answer delighted him.
Suvorov was therefore carried to his final resting place by a self-directed work team in the year 1800- more than a century and a half before management science rediscovered the concept.

Suvorov's theory has both fans and opponents and was subject of flamed discussion, partly thanks to its political implications.
The opposition is claiming that Suvorov didn't complete his analysis of the disastrous beginning of the war.
This group claims that, while Suvorov is correct in discerning true plans of Stalin and exposing the huge hardware potential of the Soviet military machine, they insist that Suvorov unreasonably dismissed the traditional arguments about problems claimed to plague the Red Army—supposedly poor leadership and low morale.

 Field Marshal Alexander V. Suvorov, 1729-1800
Suvorov's approach looks slipshod and reckless- "Attack with whatever arrives"- but suppose a cavalry company charges an enemy infantry regiment that is still in its camps, eating breakfast with its arms stacked.
Suvorov taught his soldiers the "through attack" (or "attack through") with the bayonet for infantry, and the equivalent with lance or sabre for cavalry.
Suvorov was not as bloodthirsty as Byron paints him- in fact, at the storming of the Praga Fortress, he destroyed the bridge between the fort and the nearby city to prevent his soldiers from sacking the city.

 Suvorov's Übergang or Devil's Bridge.
Thousands of Russians slipped from the cliffs or succumbed to cold and hunger, but Suvorov, never admitting that he was retreating, eventually escaped encirclement and reached Chur on the Rhine with the bulk of his army--16,000 men--intact.
Suvorov's Alpine feat gained the grudging admiration of the astonished French and earned him the nickname of the Russian Hannibal, but it did nothing to improve his standing with Paul, who, disgusted with Austrian policy and conduct, withdrew from the coalition.
We suppose to repeat a campaign of Suvorov exactly after 200 years, but in today's political and cultural conditions, to realize it not military, but with art forces, not with the help of guns and cannons, and using musical instruments, dramatic and visual arts.
