1918 Death of General Kornilov

One hundred years ago, on April 13, 1918, the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army, General Lavr Kornilov, was killed by a shell fragment during the assault on Yekaterinodar. The death of Kornilov demoralized the army, and it retreated from the city. Kornilov's body was secretly buried in the German colony of Gnachbau, but the Bolsheviks, having occupied Gnachbau, found the corpse of the general, mocked him, and then burned him.
