	Oleg Menshikov (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Oleg Menshikov's the most significant part during the years spent in the Soviet Army theatre is the part of Gania Ivolgin in the staging of Dostoyevsky's novel "Idiot".
		Menshikov chooses the second and enters Dostoyevsky's world with it, its special essence of finest connections and deepest phenomena, the struggle of passions inside a human being, all that is quite usual for Dostoyevsky's characters.
		In his own way he becomes attached to the prince, but still refuses to accept his way of life, communication, which is in deep contradiction with Gania's idea, but nevertheless attracting him with their exceptionality and innocence.

	Battle of the Alma, 20 September 1854 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Prince Menshikov had discounted the possibility of a serious attack from the west of Telegraph Hill and thought that the Post Road would be the key.
		Menshikov therefore had some 33,000 infantry, 3,400 cavalry and 116 guns at his disposal and an excellent natural position to defend.
		Menshikov however, should not have been evicted from such a strong position so easily, his overconfidence playing a major part in the outcome.

		His anti-Russian views resulted in Prince Menshikov, while on his mission in Constantinople, 1853, peremptorily demanding from the prince of Servia (Alexander Karageorgevich) his dismissal.
		The result of their policy was that Servia was given a new, although somewhat conservative, constitution, and that she obtained, without war, the evacuation of all the fortresses garrisoned by the Turkish troops on the Servian territory, including the fortress of Belgrade (1867).
		Although he was a Conservative in politics, and as such often in conflict with the leader of the Liberal movement, Yovan Ristich, he certainly was one of the ablest statesmen whom Servia had in the 19th century.
