Profile
Count Mikhail Andreyevich Miloradovich, spelled Miloradovitch in contemporary English sources, was a Russian general prominent during the Napoleonic Wars. On his father's side, Miloradovich descended from the Serb noble family and the katun clan of Miloradović from Hum, later part of Sanjak of Herzegovina, in present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina. He entered military service on the eve of the Russo-Swedish War of 1788–1790 and his career advanced rapidly during the reign (1796–1801) of Emperor Paul I. He served under Alexander Suvorov during Italian and Swiss campaigns of 1799. Miloradovich was, along with Mikhail Kutuzov and Pyotr Bagration, a brilliant pupil of Suvorov, and became one of the outstanding figures in the military history of Russia.
