Pyotr Nikolayevich, Baron Wrangel (1878-1928)
Born to a German baronial family in Novo-Aleksandrovsk, Russian Empire (now in Lithuania), Wrangel was a general who led the White forces in the final phase of the Russian Civil War (1918–20). During World War I, Wrangel served in the Russian imperial guards and became commander of a Cossack division. After the February Revolution of 1917, which overthrew the Romanov dynasty, he continued to serve in the army, resigning his commission and leaving for Crimea when General Lavr Kornilov, whom he supported, was arrested in August 1917 for attempting to overthrow the provisional government.
After the October Revolution, Wrangel joined the White forces of General Anton Denikin and was given command of an army, capturing Tsaritsyn (now Volgograd) in the summer of 1919. Following Denikin’s resignation in April 1920, after the Whites were forced back into the Crimea, Wrangel succeeded Denikin as commander of the White armies. Attempting to rally the support of the peasants, Cossacks, and western allies, Wrangel launched a new offensive in the Ukraine in June 1920. However, by November the Red Army had defeated the Whites, who were forced to retreat into Crimea and were evacuated to Constantinople. Wrangel successfully evacuated Russia and lived in exile in western Europe, dying in Brussels, Belgium in 1928.
