- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Russian military leader Polikarp Alekseevich Kuznetsov (1860 – after 1917) was born in the city of Tara (Tobol’sk province; now in the Omsk region of the Russian Federation). He studied at the Simbirsk Military School [gimnaziia] and served in the Russian Army from 1877 on. He graduated from the Alexander Military School no. 3 (1879) and the Nikolaev General Staff Academy (1885), and fought in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05. As a lieutenant general during the First World War, he was in command of the 31st infantry division and the 37th and 13th corps of the 12th army. P. A. Kuznetsov was among the generals relieved of their posts after L. G. Kornilov’s unsuccessful coup, and in September 1917 was discharged into the reserves of the Petrograd Military Area headquarters.
