Description
Description
In bronze gilt, engraver marked "ФАБ. Д. КУЧКИН. МОСКВ." (Fab D. Kuchkin, Moscow) on the reverse, measuring 28 mm in diameter, very light contact, original ribbon mounted to a brass frame with tab, near extremely fine.
Footnote: Aleksei Alekseyevich Brusilov (Russian: Алексе́й Алексе́евич Бруси́лов; September 1 [O.S. August 19] 1853 – March 17, 1926) was a Russian general most noted for the development of new offensive tactics used in the 1916 Brusilov Offensive, which was his greatest achievement. The innovative and relatively successful tactics used were later copied by the Germans.
Born into the aristocracy to a father who was also a general, Brusilov trained as a cavalry officer, but by 1914 he realized that cavalry was obsolete in the new style of warfare because of its vulnerability to machine gun and artillery. Historians portray him as the only First World War Russian general capable of winning major battles. However, his heavy casualties seriously weakened the Russian army, which was unable to replace its losses. During the offensive, he had a small numerical advantage (600,000 to 500,000), but in 72 hours advanced 50 miles, took 200,000 prisoners, and seized 700 heavy guns.
Despite his prominent role in the Imperial Russian Army, he ultimately joined with the Bolsheviks in the Russian Civil War and aided in the early organization of the Red Army, which had ruined his good reputation among the west and the Tsarist Russians.
