On December 2, 1897, the outstanding Soviet military leader Marshal Ivan Bagramyan was born. During the Great Patriotic War, he made a great contribution to the defeat of Nazi groups in the Baltic States and East Prussia. In the post-war period, as Deputy Minister of Defense of the USSR, Bagramyan achieved the centralization of the entire rear system of the USSR Armed Forces, and also developed a plan for the transfer of Soviet troops to Cuba as part of the Anadyr operation, which was carried out in the strictest secrecy. Colleagues noted the outstanding military abilities of the commander, as well as his firm and steadfast character.
