Encyclopedic overview
Count Ivan Fyodorovich Paskevich-Erevansky, Serene Prince of Warsaw (19 May [O.S. 8 May] 1782 – 1 February [O.S. 20 January] 1856) was a Russian military leader who was the namiestnik of Poland.
Paskevich is known for leading Russian forces in Poland during the November Uprising and for a series of leadership roles throughout the early and mid-19th century, such as the Russo-Persian War of 1826–1828, and the beginning phase of the Crimean War. In Russian history, he is remembered as a prominent military commander, rated on a par with Ivan Dibich-Zabalkansky, commander of the Russian armies during the same time.
