abstract
  • Ivan Stepanovich Koniev (or Konev) (Russian: Иван Степанович Конев) (28 December 1897 – 21 May 1973), was a Soviet military commander, who led Red Army forces on the Eastern Front during World War II, including the Battle of Kursk. His forces liberated much of Eastern Europe from occupation by the Axis Powers, and helped in the capture of Germany's capital, Berlin (although it was his long time rival, Georgy Zhukov, who was given the honor of capturing the city by Joseph Stalin). After the war, he was head of the military forces occupying East Germany, as well as Allied High Commission for Austria. However, in 1950, he was demoted to Commander of the Carpathian Military District, a move that was part of Stalin's policy of relegating popular wartime commanders to obscure posts so they would not become threats to his position. Upon Stalin's death in 1953, Koniev regained favor with the Soviet government. He aligned himself with Nikita Khrushchev, and was given the task of overseeing the trial of Lavrenty Beria, the head of the NKVD. In 1956 he was named Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Warsaw Pact. Shortly after his appointment he led the suppression of the Hungarian Revolution.
