Quotes
- “I hold it as a principle that in Asia the duration of peace is in direct proportion to the slaughter you inflict upon the enemy. The harder you hit them the longer they will be quiet afterwards. My system is this: To strike hard, and keep on hitting till resistance is completely over; then at once to form ranks, cease slaughter, and be kind and humane to the prostrate enemy.”

Encyclopedic overview
Mikhail Dmitriyevich Skobelev (Russian: Михаил Дмитриевич Скобелев; 29 September 1843 – 7 July 1882) was a Russian general became famous for his conquest of Central Asia and for his heroism during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878. Dressed in a white uniform and mounted on a white horse, and always in the thickest of the fray, he was known and adored by his soldiers as the "White General", and by the Turks as the "White Pasha". During a campaign in Khiva, his Turkmen opponents called him goz ganly or "Bloody Eyes".
British field marshal Bernard Montgomery assessed Skobelev as the world's "ablest single commander" between 1870 and 1914, and wrote of his "skilful and inspiring" leadership. Francis Vinton Greene also rated Skobelev highly.
