All Stalin's Generals (Все генералы Сталина)

A while back I posted a list of all Soviet front commander 1943 - 1945. After a review of the post, I was less than happy with it. It contained errors and wasn't of the standard that I would have liked. So I slowly started going back and checking the information one fact at a time. This showed me that there had been new publications since I originally worked on Soviet general back in 2012 - 2014. One of these new works was Denis Solov'ev, 'All Stalin's Generals' (Денис  Соловьев Все генералы Сталина), which is supposed to encompass 50 volume but only about 20 are done so far. Each volume costs about $5. Volume 1 covers most of the front commandesr, some of the army commanders and some others. It is 104 pages and gives a brief overview of each general's carrier and awards. This volume was really nice and is much better with dates than the information found in Командармы (Army Commanders). Volume 2 was only 56 pages and covers generals in alphabetical order but the date information doesn't seem to be of the same standard as Volume 1. A few names seem to be missing from Volume 2 too.

I have mixed feelings about the books so far. Volume 1 was a steal at $5. The date information about the generals' carriers was a real blessing and the biography of generals outside of the combat commanders is also of value. Neither volume has an index or bibliography which are a definitive minus. If the subject interest you, it is probably worth supporting the author's efforts.


I made my own index to volume 1 and 2 (below). It is in Russian but if you can't get pass the Cyrillic names then the above volumes won't be of any use.

Good Day.
The predatory pricing policy of the author discourages all desire to buy his books.

250-400 r. per volume doesn't seem very much. Or am I missing something?

Good day.
In each “volume” there are just a little more than 50 pages. And for this the price of 400 rubles is being asked.
And the total "volumes" - 50. It turns out 20,000 rubles. This is already a loss of reality on the part of the author.

Interesting books and I believe we are at volume 31 now. I have seen a few of them and volume 1 clearly appears to be the best, better that Командармы, but not much better than the later комкоры and комдивы.

I am puzzled by the share numbers of volumes though short, he is able to get published within a short time, not only these but also on the generals of the Imperial army 1914-1917 (at least 21 volumes) and the senior officers of period 1935-1940.

I tend to agree with taurus that the large number but very short volumes seems a bit speculative.

Are there about 50 bio sketches in each volume? Seems too few to cover all Soviet general.

Exactly. Nevertheless, the author plans to include in this volume information on all the generals who received the title in the period 1940-1945.
We are talking about more than 5,000 people.
Moreover, the author also undertook many other works along the way, including, for example, publishing information on all colonels of 1935-1945.
I declare with all responsibility - this is not real! The author is cunning, knowing in advance for himself the inability to cover this topic.

I have his book on captured Wehrmacht generals.
The preface says that the data is based on archival information, but even a superficial examination allows us to conclude that this is copy-paste.

This three-volume edition is 100% compiled from their archival information. And the price is adequate to the content.
Three volumes contain information on 3.552 biographies. 2100 p.

The book was published in three volumes a month ago.

Good day Steen Ammentorp.
Yes, only 130 copies came out. I have scans of all three volumes. I can give you on condition of personal use. Write me in PM then.
If you want to have a book, I can give the author’s contacts. Three volumes cost $ 76. With delivery to Denmark - it will be more expensive, of course.
Best regards

Really a shame of only 130 paper copies. Wouldn't it be possible to make them available through ЛитРес?

The author is about 80 years old. He spent about 20 years collecting and processing information. And on the release of the book - almost all of their retirement savings.

In general, military reference and encyclopedic publications in Russia do not differ in large print runs. 500 pieces is considered a lot.
Divisional Commanders and Combrigs, for example, come out in such runs of 200-300 pieces.
