FROM WIKIPEDIA: Pyotr Nikolayevich Krasnov (22 September (old style: 10 September) 1869 – 17 January 1947), sometimes referred to in English as Peter Krasnov, was a Don Cossack historian and officer, promoted to Lieutenant General of the Russian army when the revolution broke out in 1917, one of the leaders of the counter-revolutionary White movement afterwards and a Nazi collaborator who mobilized Cossack forces to fight against the Soviet Union during World War II. Krasnov was also a prominent figure in the White Terror. He presided over the executions and exiling of tens of thousands of "Red" Cossacks.
