# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Moscow in 1729 or 1730, Suvorov studied military history as a boy and joined the Imperial Russian Army at seventeen. He made colonel during the Seven Years' War, then built his reputation capturing cities in Poland and defeating Ottoman forces twice at Turtukaya and decisively at Kozludzha in the 1768–1774 Russo-Turkish War. His storming of Izmail and victories at Focșani and Rymnik in the 1787–1792 war established him as Europe's most brilliant general. After putting down the Polish uprising in 1794, he fell out with Tsar Paul I, only to be recalled as field marshal when the French Revolutionary Wars broke out. Commanding the Austro-Russian army, he took Milan and Turin and nearly erased Napoleon's Italian gains before being ordered to reinforce a defeated force in Switzerland. Cut off by André Masséna and surrounded in the Alps, he extracted his outnumbered, exhausted army through the mountains—a feat that earned him the rank of generalissimo. He died of illness in Saint Petersburg in 1800, never having lost a major engagement.
