Mikeshin was born on 21 February 1835 in a village near Roslavl . When he attended the Imperial Academy of Arts in 1852 58, his Romantic treatment of patriotic themes won him the admiration of the Russian royalty and he was asked to teach drawing to the Grand Duchesses. Although his forte was War artist battle painting , Mikeshin s sketch won the much publicized contest for the monument to the Millennium of Russia in 1859. Henceforward, commissions were plentiful. He illustrated the official motto Orthodoxy, Autocracy, and Nationality in designs for bombastic outdoor statues of Kuzma Minin in Nizhny Novgorod , Alexey Greig Admiral Greig in Mykolaiv Nikolayev , and Alexander II of Russia in Rostov on Don . Only a few of Mikeshin s outdoor monuments survived the Soviet years. These include the statues of Catherine the Great in Saint Petersburg 1873 , Bohdan Khmelnytsky in Kiev 1888 , and Ermak in Novocherkassk 1904 . He also won competitions to erect monuments abroad, e.g., the statue of Pedro I of Brazil Pedro IV Pedro I of Brazil Pedro IV of Portugal in Lisbon .

This xenophobic element was removed in the monument as finally erected.

The Nazi invasion in June 1941 Operation Barbarossa can be viewed as a series of double envelopments, capturing huge numbers of men and machines. Also called cauldrons , the great encirclement battles of 1941 cost the Soviet Union dearly. There were approximately 8 11 pockets in 1941, each of which netted more than 100,000 prisoners.
