Alexey Petrovich Ermolov is one of the largest and most mysterious figures of the Russian generals of all time. Having brought himself up on the heroic biographies of Plutarch, European knightly poetry, dreaming of the laurels of Alexander the Great and Caesar, he stood out among his associates with "immense ambition." From his youth, who knew not only military glory under the command of Suvorov, but also the casemate of the Peter and Paul Fortress, and exile, he stubbornly moved towards high goals, without the achievement of which life seemed meaningless to him. Having ended the Napoleonic Wars as the hero of the legend, sent to conquer the indomitable Caucasus, Ermolov dreamed of breaking into the vastness of Asia, defeating Persia, and reaching India. European education, powerful charm, touching care for subordinates were combined in it with rational cruelty and stinging arrogance. He was worshipped and hated. "Sphinx of the newest times" called him A.S. Griboedov, who knew him closely. The book offered to the reader is an attempt to solve this "riddle of the Sphinx."
