Nikolay Nikolayevich Dukhonin (1876-1917) was the last commander-in-chief of the Russian Imperial army. He was bayoneted and trampled to death by Red Guard soldiers in Mogilyov following the October Revolution, when he refused to follow the orders of the Bolshevik government to call a cease fire against the German and Austrian armies. His family emigrated to Yugoslavia.
