The official AHF Soviet Union 1917-1945 quiz thread

We've had several different quizes running here in the forum for a while with great success and this new section has been open for a while without one, so I'm starting one here too.

The rules are very simple:
The first one to post the correct answer to a question, posts a new question (must be on the Soviet Union during the 1917-1945 time period) and so on.

Which Russian general personally led his men in a counter-attack against German tanks armed only with a pistol in the early days of Operation Barbarossa?

Here are a few more clues Robb:

* After the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, this general was made commander of the Soviet north-west armies.

* He was dismissed from his post by Stalin for "incompetence" because he failed to prevent the surrounding of Leningrad by German forces.

* From 1945 to 1947 he supervised the establishment of the communist regime in Hungary.

Who is this man?

You are correct Rodan Lewarx. The answer is indeed Marshal Kliment Voroshilov and you have the honour of setting the next question. :D

Best regards.
