“It’s about time! I’ve been waiting over an hour. That stroganoff better not be cold! Wait a minute. You don’t look like the serving girl. What are you doing in here?” – Marshal Kamensky
MONSTROLOGY TOME DESCRIPTION – This Imperial officer likes his stroganoff served hot, and his justice served cold.
Count Mikhail Fedotovich Kamensky (May 19, 1738 – August 12, 1809) was a Russian Field Marshal prominent in the Catherinian wars and the Napoleonic campaigns.
Mikhail Kamensky served as a volunteer in the French army in 1758-1759. He then took part in the Seven Years’ War. In 1783, Kamensky was appointed Governor General of Ryazan and Tambov guberniyas. During the war with Turkey, in 1788, he defeated the Turks at the Moldavian settlement of Gangur. In the previous war with the Turks, he had helped Alexander Suvorov, who had earned a reputation as one of Russia’s great generals, to win the victory at Kozludzha, which ended the war. When prince Potemkin fell ill and entrusted his command of the army to Mikhail Kakhovsky, Kamensky refused to subordinate himself, referring to his seniority. For this, he was discharged from military service.
In 1797, Emperor Paul I granted Kamensky the title of count and made him retire. In 1806, Kamensky was appointed commander-in-chief of the Russian army in Prussia, which had been fighting the French armies of Napoleon. After six days of being in command, on the eve of the battle of Pułtusk, he transferred the command to Feodor Buxhoeveden under pretense of illness and left for his estate near Oryol.
