description: "The last Tsarist general to break the stalemate. Brusilov saw cavalry was dead weight by 1914 and rebuilt offense around artillery preparation and reconnaissance—his 1916 push shattered Austro-Hungarian lines and remains the textbook case for coordinated breakthrough tactics in trench war."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in 1853 to an aristocratic military family, Brusilov trained as a cavalry officer but understood by the First World War that mounted charges meant nothing against rifled guns and machine guns. He won repeatedly against Austro-Hungarian forces, and in 1916 launched the offensive that became his name: meticulous preparation, modern artillery, air reconnaissance, troops drilled until the plan was reflex. It worked—the last major success of the Tsar's army, handing strategic initiative back to Russia just as the state began to crack. The revolution in 1917 killed the planned follow-up offensive. When civil war came, the aristocrat and Imperial commander joined the Bolsheviks, helped organize the Red Army, and served until 1924. He died in 1926.
