Vladimir Oskarovich Kappel ((ロシア語:Влади́мир О́скарович Ка́ппель), —January 26, 1920) was a White Russian military leader. During the First World War he was a Chief of the 347th Infantry Regiment's Staff and an officer in the 1st Army's Staff. Following the Bolshevik Revolution, Kappel commanded the Komuch White Army group (People Army of Komuch) (1918, June–September) and from December 1919 the Eastern Front of Aleksandr Kolchak. Kappel was born into a Swedish-Russian family. He graduated from the Saint Petersburg Page Corps and then from the Nikolayevskoye Cavalry School and Nikolayevskaya Academy of the General Staff. Although he was a self-declared monarchist, Kappel said he would fight under any banner against Bolsheviks. Kappel's adherents and allies were known in Russian as ''kappelevtsy'' (каппелевцы). After the execution of Admiral Aleksandr Kolchak in Irkutsk, the ''kappelevtsy'' were forced to undertake a winter march toward Chita, known as the "Great Siberian Ice march". General Kappel died of deep frostbite. Kappel's tomb in Harbin was pulled down after Mao Zedong assumed power in China. On December 19, 2006, the remains of Kappel were transported for reinterment from China to Irkutsk. On January 13, 2007, Vladimir Kappel's remains were interred at Donskoy Monastery in Moscow. ==Honours and awards== * Order of Saint Stanislaus, 3rd class (11 April 1910), with swords and bow (10 February 1916), 2nd class with Swords (7 June 1915) * Order of St. Anna, 3rd class (8 May 1913 - for the successful completion of the Nicholas General Staff Academy), with swords and bow (25 April 1915), 2nd class with Swords (7 June 1915), 4th class with the inscription "For Bravery" (27 January 1916) * Order of St. Vladimir, 4th class with Swords and Bow (1 March 1915) * Order of St. George, 4th class (22 June 1919), 3rd class (11 September 1919) * Gratitude of the Supreme Ruler and Supreme Commander (14 February 1919) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vladimir Kappel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
