Mikhail Nikolajewitsch Annenkow

Mikhail Annenkov ( Russian Михаил Николаевич Анненков ; born April 30 . Jul / 12. May  1835 greg. In Saint Petersburg , † January 9 jul. / 21st January  1899 greg. ) Was a Russian general .

Annenkow was involved in the fighting in Poland between 1863 and 1866 and later worked in the administration there. He then made a great contribution to the Russian military railways , particularly in organizing the transport of troops. In 1870 he was assigned to the Prussian field army . About this time he published in 1871 the remarks and reflections of a Russian officer (Petersburg; German Berlin 1871).

During the Russo-Ottoman War , Annenkow led the troop transports behind the Danube Army . In 1880 he took part in the expedition against the Teke Turkmen , where he built the railway from the Caspian Sea to Kyzyl-Arwat . Between 1885 and 1888 he was responsible for the extension of the line to Samarkand , the so-called Trans - Caspian Railway . In the intervening period, he was entrusted with building the strategic railways in the Poljessie area. In 1888 he was elected as a member of the Leopoldina Scholar Academy .

In 1892 Annenkow was appointed general of the infantry and head of railway construction between Samarkand and Tashkent . Later he built a road through the Black Sea area, but was guilty of major embezzlement , so that he was removed from office. Out of consideration for his earlier services, however, there was no legal dispute.

family

Annenkow was married twice. In his first marriage he married Countess Alexandra Nikolajewna Zubova (1839–1877) in 1872, with whom he had two daughters: Vera Mikhailovna (1873 - after 1962) and Maria Mihailovna (1875–1942), both of whom died in exile in Paris. On January 1, 1884, he married the then 19-year-old merchant daughter Dagmar Elisabeth von Oesterreich (1864–1926). The marriage remained childless and was divorced in 1889 at the instigation of the wife. One of his sisters was married to Karl von Struve .
