Lieutenant-Colonel Vladimir Peniakoff DSO MC (Russian: Владимир Дмитриевич Пеняков ''Vladimir Dmitrievich Penyakov'', 30 March 1897 – 15 May 1951), nicknamed ''Popski'', was the founder and commanding officer of Popski's Private Army. == Early life == Vladimir Peniakoff was born in Belgium to Russian Jewish intellectual parents.〔Willett. ''Popski''. Willett interviewed many of Popski's surviving Jewish relatives after World War II.〕 In 1914 he studied at St John's College, Cambridge and describes his early education in ''Popski's Private Army'': "For years I never had less than three tutors who pumped knowledge into my precocious brain". Vladimir initially had conscientious objections to the Great War but by his fourth term at Cambridge he had changed his mind. Unlike many of his peers, he opted to join the French artillery as a private rather than go through the lengthy training that a commission in the British Army entailed. He was injured during his time in the French Army and was invalided out after the armistice. In 1924 he emigrated to Egypt where he worked as an Engineer for a sugar manufacturer. During this time he learned to sail, fly and navigate vehicles through the desert, becoming a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. Vladimir Peniakoff was a polyglot who spoke English, Russian, Italian, German, French and Arabic well.
