Alexey Kaledin
Alexey Kaledin was a Russian cavalry general and the first elected ataman of the Don Cossacks after the February Revolution of 1917. A successful army commander in the First World War, he refused to recognise the Bolshevik seizure of power and gave refuge to the Volunteer Army on the Don. As Cossacks deserted and Red forces advanced, he shot himself in Novocherkassk in February 1918.
