Aleksandr Rodzyanko

Aleksandr Rodzyanko

Aleksandr Pavlovich Rodzyanko (18 August, 18796 May, 1970) was a general-lieutenant and a corps commander of the White Army during Russian Civil War.

A nephew of Mikhail Rodzianko, Aleksandr was educated at the Page Corps and the Cadre Noir. In 1912, he was promoted Colonel and went on to take part in the Great War. After the Russian Revolution of 1917, he accompanied Prince Lieven to solicit British help for counterrevolutionaries active in Latvia but was unsuccessful.

In 1919, Nikolay Yudenich appointed Rodzyanko his aide. On 23 November 1919 he was sent by Yudenich to England to seek financial support. After his mission proved abortive, he chose not to return to Estonia but settled in Germany instead. He wrote memoirs and died in New York City aged 92.
