Brusilov, Aleksey Alekseyevich (1853-1926), Russian soldier, born in K'ut'aisi, (now in Georgia). Brusilov was trained for the army and fought in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878; by 1906 he had risen to the rank of commanding general. At the outbreak of World War I he led the Russian Eighth Army to victories in Galicia. In 1916 he was commander on the south-western front, where he routed the Austrians near Lutsk (now in Ukraine). In 1917 Brusilov was briefly commander in chief of all Russian armies. When the Bolsheviks came to power, they arrested and imprisoned Brusilov, but he was soon again given an army command, and he participated in the Soviet offensive against Poland in 1920.
