Here is what some experienced and still revered generals talked about Russia
1) "Russia is a dwarf - I'll put her on her knees" (Charles 12th, XVIII century) - Sweden forever lost its superpower status;
2) "I will conquer backward Russia" (Frederick the Great, mid-XVIII century) - in 1759 Russian army entered Berlin;
3) "Russia - a colossus with feet of clay" (Napoleon, XIX century) - in 1814 Russian army took Paris;

Hitler ....for obvious reasons....

He was never a General. He was a politician. He was a corporal once, though.

Who is your favorite general? Why?

I have got three.

1. Field Marshal Rommel.
2. Field Marshal Manekshaw.
3. Marshal Zhukov.

That's a lie, Stalin did not say that. I and many others look at the Soviet Union as another period of Russian history. The Soviet Union collapsed, but Russia remains and now creates a new Union - Eurasian. And Eurasian Union will be more powerful than the USSR ever was, believe me. Russia still retains huge reserves of creative energy.
