	110 anniversary of Rokossovsky's birth
		Konstantin Konstantinovich Rokossovsky (Russian: Êîíñòàíòèí Êîíñòàíòèíîâè÷ Ðîêîññîâñêèé, Polish: Konstanty Rokossowski) (December 21, 1896 — August 3, 1968) was a Soviet military commander and Polish Defence Minister.
		Rokossovski was a representative of Stalin and as such he advocated and implemented the stalinist system of oppression in the army.
		As to Rokossovsky, when his jailer wrote to him an ingratiating letter after victory in WWII with his congratulations, he answered to him as "Rad starat'sya grazhdanin nachal'nik" (it's rather difficult to translate on English tragedy-comic sarcasm of this phrase but I'll try - "Very glad to serve you sir!").
