Best Answer

The most outstanding Soviet general in the Russian Civil War was Mikhail Tukhachevsky, who was made the first Marshal of the Soviet Union. His military thinking was in many ways ahead of his time. He developed Soviet paratroop units from c.1927 onwards, he stressed the importance of tanks and encouraged research into long range rockets already in the early 1930s. In 1937 he was accused of 'Trotskyism', tried in secret and shot. Working closely with Tukhachevsky was Trotsky, who was People's Commissar (Minister or Secretary) for War.
