Matitiahu Mayzel, The formation of the Russian General Staff, 1880-1917. A social study.
The military reforms initiated and implemented by D. A. Miliutin caused deep institutional and social changes in the Russian army. One such change was the rejuvenation of the General Staff and its Academy which supplied qualified and well-educated officers to the General Staff. Admittance and success were based not on social position but on merit and academic excellence. Officers-graduates of the Academy became a close, coherent group, which served not only on the General Staff but also in all central military organs and in staff and command position in the field. In the last two decades of the roth century they were, in effect, the new elite of the army. In the period after the war with Japan they dominated and monopolized the high command and the General Staff. At the same time, before World War I, they began to develop oppositionary political attitudes. During the War they cooperated with the civil voluntary organizations and the conservative political groups. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
