What Russian general lost the Battle of the Masurian Lakes?

Where did The Battle of Masurian Lakes take place?
The Second Battle of the Masurian Lakes, also known as the Winter Battle of the Masurian Lakes, was the northern part of the Central Powers' offensive on the Eastern Front in the winter of 1915. The offensive was intended to advance beyond the Vistula River and perhaps knock Russia out of the war. On the 7th of February, in the middle of a snowstorm, Below's Eighth Army launched a surprise attack against Sievers and advanced 70 miles within the week, inflicting severe casualties on the Russians. The Russian withdrawal was disorderly and many of them were taken prisoner. The greatest loss came when the Russian XX Corps, under General Bulgakov, had become surrounded by the German Tenth Army in the Augustow Forest; on February 21 the entire corps surrendered. Yet even though the Russians had lost an entire corps, its heroic stand had enabled the rest of the Russian Tenth Army to form a new defensive position. On February 22, the next day, Plehve's Russian Twelfth Army counterattacked and checked the German advance. The counterattack ended any further German advances and brought the battle to an end.
What battle was the turning point in world war 1?
Gumbinnen, Tannenberg & the Masurian Lakes set the standard fare for the Russians in the First World War in the East. Despite the effects of the Brusilov offensive against the Austro/Hungarian forces by the time of Riga, in which poison gas shells wer used for the first time, the Russians were defeated. Poor leadership & technological inferiority typify the Russian war effort. As for a turning point ? It's just one defeat after another by and large. I suspect you meant to type WW2 and therefore the answer is Stalingrad, but that's another story.
