Nikolai Sollogub (Russian: Николай Владимирович Соллогуб; May 16, 1883 – August 7, 1937) was a Russian and later Soviet military officer. A Komandarm 2nd class, he served during the Russian Civil War and the Polish-Bolshevik War of 1920. Dismissed from service during the Great Purge, he died in 1937.

He was born May 16, 1883 in Minsk Governorate of the Russian Empire, to a russified branch of an old Polish-Lithuanian nobility, the Dowoyno-Sołłohub (his distant relative was a Polish general Stanisław Sołłohub-Dowoyno). Early in his life he joined the Imperial Russian Army and graduated from Pavlov's Military School (1903) and the Nicholas' General Staff Academy (in 1910). He served with distinction during the Great War as staff officer of the 1st Army, the 11th Army and the Western Front.

Following the Russian Revolution he joined the Red Army in June 1918. Initially a staff officer of the Northern Front, he later served a variety of roles and eventually in August 1919 became the commanding officer of the 16th Army facing Poland. During the Polish-Bolshevik War he successfully crossed the Berezina with his forces and pursued the Polish Army to the gates of Warsaw. However, he failed to capture the city and his army was defeated in the Battle of Warsaw and completely disintegrated following the Battle of Białystok. His staff was captured by the Poles, but Sollogub managed to evade capture and reached Russian lines.

Despite his army's defeat he was considered one of the most skilled Russian military commanders of the time and continued his military service after the Peace of Riga. Briefly arrested in 1922 and accused of conspiracy against Soviet Russia, he was nevertheless acquitted and restored to his former post in the Red Army. Initially a military governor of Crimea, later he commanded the 5th Corps, the Academy of Air Forces and became the deputy commander of Red Army's Air Forces. In 1925 he became the deputy commander of Frunze Military Academy. Arrested during the Great Purge by the NKVD, he died August 7, 1937.

        14.02.1919 | The Polish-Soviet war started

        The Polish–Soviet War (February 1919 – March 1921) was an armed conflict that pitted Soviet Russia and Soviet Ukraine against the Second Polish Republic and the Ukrainian People's Republic over the control of an area equivalent to today's Ukraine and parts of modern-day Belarus. Ultimately the Soviets, following on from their Westward Offensive of 1918–19, hoped to fully occupy Poland. Although united under communist leadership, Soviet Russia and Soviet Ukraine were theoretically two separate independent entities since the Soviet republics did not unite into the Soviet Union until 1922.

        15.08.1920 | Battle of Warsaw

        The Battle of Warsaw refers to the decisive Polish victory in 1920 at the apogee of the Polish–Soviet War. Poland, on the verge of total defeat, repulsed and defeated the invading Red Army. It was, and still is, celebrated as a great victory for the Polish people over Russia and communism. As Soviet forces invaded Poland in summer 1920, the Polish army retreated westward in disorder. The Polish forces seemed on the verge of disintegration and observers predicted a decisive Soviet victory. The battle of Warsaw was fought from August 12–25, 1920 as Red Army forces commanded by Mikhail Tukhachevsky approached the Polish capital of Warsaw and the nearby Modlin Fortress. On August 16, Polish forces commanded by Józef Piłsudski counterattacked from the south, disrupting the enemy's offensive, forcing the Russian forces into a disorganized withdrawal eastward and behind the Neman River. Estimated Russian losses were 10,000 killed, 500 missing, 30,000 wounded, and 66,000 taken prisoner, compared with Polish losses of some 4,500 killed, 10,000 missing, and 22,000 wounded. The defeat crippled the Red Army; Vladimir Lenin, the Bolshevik leader, called it "an enormous defeat" for his forces.[3] In the following months, several more Polish follow-up victories saved Poland's independence and led to a peace treaty with Soviet Russia and Soviet Ukraine later that year, securing the Polish state's eastern frontiers until 1939.
