[edit] General Oskar Ferdinand Casimir Gripenberg a Russian?

Heh hee. He was a Finland´s Swede from notable Gripenberg family who served in the Imperial Russian Army. He died in 1916 not 1915. He received the The Cross of Order of St.George (III Class) in Russo Turkish War 1877-1878. Suffered a defeat in The Battle of Sandepu because General Kuropatkin refused to send for him more troops. Behind this was the Kuropatkin´s dislike against this Finnish born General.

Here, ones again in English Wikipedia, a Finnish (Swede) is made Russian.
