Baron Cyprian Antonovich von Kreutz (Russian: Киприан Антонович Крейц ; 10 July 1777 - 13 July 1850) was a general of the Russian Imperial Army known for his service in the Napoleonic Wars and the November Uprising.
Kreutz was born in Rechytsa, Minsk Governorate to a Courlandian family of Swedish descent. He began his military career in Poland in the service of King Stanisław August Poniatowski, with the rank of adjutant-general. In 1801 he served as colonel in the regiment of Valerian Zubov. Between 1805 and 1807 he took part in thirteen battles. Between 1808 and 1809 he was posted to the Baltic shore, and in 1810 he was named commander of a regiment of Siberian dragoons.
He participated in the campaign of 1812, fighting at Ostrovno, Klyastitsy, Smolensk, Tarutino, Maloyaroslavets, and Vyazma. On 15 June he was promoted to major general. On 30 June he commanded troops at Ashmyany. At the Battle of Borodino he was wounded in action. He led numerous campaigns in the following two years, and in 1814 was appointed governor general of the Duchy of Schleswig.
On 11 December 1824 he was made lieutenant general, and participated in the Russo-Turkish War, in the Principality of Moldavia and in Bulgaria. After these campaigns he retired from active service.
He came out of retirement during the November Uprising of 1830, and contributed to the Polish defeat on the southeastern front. In August 1831 he took part in the capture of Warsaw. In September he was decorated with the Order of Saint George.
Kreutz died at his estate in the Courland Governorate.

29.11.1830 | November Uprising
The November Uprising (1830–31), Polish–Russian War 1830–31 also known as the Cadet Revolution, was an armed rebellion in the heartland of partitioned Poland against the Russian Empire. The uprising began on 29 November 1830 in Warsaw when the young Polish officers from the local Army of the Congress Poland's military academy revolted, led by lieutenant Piotr Wysocki. They were soon joined by large segments of Polish society, and the insurrection spread to the territories of Lithuania, western Belarus, and the right-bank of Ukraine. Despite some local successes, the uprising was eventually crushed by a numerically superior Imperial Russian Army under Ivan Paskevich. Czar Nicholas I decreed that henceforth Poland was an integral part of Russia, with Warsaw little more than a military garrison, its university closed.
