  Pyotr Nikolayevich Wrangel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baron Pyotr Nikolayevich Wrangel (German: Peter von Wrangel) (Пётр Николаевич Врангель) (August 15, 1878, Zarasai, Lithuania (then Imperial Russia) — April 25, 1928, Brussels, Belgium), was one of the leaders of the White movement in Southern Russia, Lieutenant General (1917).
Wrangel gave every officer, soldier, and civilian a free choice: evacuate and go with him into the unknown, or stay behind and risk Soviet occupation.
Some (including Wrangel's family) believe that the general was poisoned by his butler's brother, who lived in the Wrangel household in Brussels briefly and was allegedly a Soviet agent.

According to historian Pyotr Deinichenko: “Admiral Kolchak, who launched a successful advance in March, instead of joining up with forces led by General Denikin in the vicinity of the Volga town of Saratov, decided to head for Moscow on his own, nurturing the impetuous plan of capturing it single-handedly.
In April 1920 … in Crimea General Pyotr Wrangel patched together the remnants of Denikin's army to create the “Russian Army”, proclaiming himself as the “Ruler of the Russian South”.
In their struggle with General Wrangel the Red Armymen were aided by units of anarchists led by Nestor Makhno, who had been lured by promises of broad autonomy by the Bolsheviks.

Generals Kornilov and Denikin developed political ideas but none were as concrete or coherent as that of General Wrangel during the so called "Crimean experiment" of 1920.
After the end of the Russian civil war, Wrangel's concepts were further developed into a concrete ideology by Russian thinkers such as Ivan Ilyin, based largely on the ideas of the Slavophiles.
Since the election of Pyotr Pimashkov as the mayor of Krasnoyarsk in 1996 the look of the city began to slowly improve: old historical buildings were restored, asphalt walkways have been replaced with paving-stone, numerous squares with fountains have been constructed.

It was probably the only all-veteran North African outfit of the Legion regiments in France.
GERD 97 had been organized from the 1st Foreign Legion Cavalry Regiment, the Legion horse cavalry outfit that had been raised in Africa in the 1920s from the remnants of White Russian General Baron Pyotr Wrangel's cavalry, which had been all but destroyed in the civil war against the Bolsheviks.
Mechanized and outfitted with obsolete armored cars, GERD 97 carried out reconnaissance missions, but its scouting days came to an end when it ran into the powerful German Mark III tanks.
