154 years ago, on October 26, 1872, Philip Kuzmich Mironov, Cossack, commander of the Second Cavalry Army, was born. Mironov was born in the village of Buark-Sniotkin in the Ust-Medvedtsk Region of the Don Army (now Volgograd Region) in the family of a poor Cossack. He finished his studies at a parochial school and several classes of a gymnasium, but was expelled for non-payment. From 1890 he served in the regiment, and in 1895, as one of the best privates, he entered the Novocherkassk Junker Cossack School. In 1903 he was already the ataman of Yurt Raspinski. During the Russo-Japanese War in 1904-1905. Fought as part of the 26th Don Battalion. For bravery he was awarded 4 orders and received the rank of captain with personal nobility rights. In June 1906, Mironov spoke at a gathering of Cossacks in the Ust-Medvedtsky district calling for the abandonment of the police service and took this "trial" to St. Petersburg - to the First State Duma. On the way back he was arrested and sentenced to 3 months in a guard house; Their Cossack compatriots responded by taking the head of the district hostage and obtained the release of the delegation. The result was dismissal from the Don army with the denial of ranks "due to actions that discredit the officer's rank". With the outbreak of World War I, he volunteered to go to the front. He was reinstated, promoted to sergeant (1915) and sergeant (1916), and awarded the St. George Arms. In January 1918 Mironov, chosen by the Cossacks to command the 32nd Don Regiment, arbitrarily took him from the Romanian front to the Don. Once in his homeland, he joined the revolutionary committee, became the military commissar of the province and organized Cossack detachments against the Whites. In the fall of 1918, he was one of the first to receive the Order of the Red Banner (for number 3). Since July 1919 Philip Kuzmich was a member of the Cossack Department of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee and commander of a special expeditionary force in Saransk. In August-September 1919, he arbitrarily led troops to the southern front against Denikin, hoping to "clear the Don immediately." From the point of view of the Soviet command, this was unacceptable arbitrariness: Mironov was arrested and sentenced to death by the tribunal.
