Georg Andreas von Rosen
Baron Georg Andreas von
A
Rosen was designated the commanding officer of the 6th
In 1831, he succeeded Ivan Paskevich as commander in chief of the Caucasus Army and remained in charge of the vast area stretching from Astrakhan to Yerevan (including all of Georgia) until 1837. In this capacity he neutralized the 1832 Georgian plot and eliminated the threat of Ghazi Muhammad (whom he besieged at his native village of Gimry).[3] In the same year he took part in assault on Germenchuk. He also forced Shamil to leave Avaria for two years. He suffered a debilitating stroke in 1839. Rosen died in Moscow and was buried in the Danilov Monastery.[2]
Baron Rosen married Countess Elizaveta Zubova in 1812. She was Platon Zubov's niece. Their daughter Praskovia became a nun under the name of Mitrophania and was in charge of the Vladychny Convent between 1861 and 1874. A domineering and highly influential person, she was arrested for faking promissory notes and, after a highly publicized trial, was sentenced to exile in Siberia. Alexander Ostrovsky based his play Wolves and Sheep on his impressions of attending the court proceedings in 1874.
Notes
- preposition which approximately means of or from and usually denotes some sort of nobility. While von (always lower case) is part of the family name or territorial designation, not a first or middle name, if the noble is referred to by his last name, use Schiller, Clausewitz or Goethe, not von Schiller, etc.
