# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in 1745, Mikhail Golenishchev-Kutuzov served three Romanov rulers as both soldier and diplomat. He was shot in the head in 1774 fighting the Ottomans, then again in 1788 — both times he survived wounds that should have killed him. By 1812, now a field marshal, he commanded Russia's defense against Napoleon's Grande Armée. He chose attrition over pitched battle: falling back, scorching earth, stretching supply lines until the invaders crumbled. At Krasnoi he crushed the retreat, earning the victory title "Smolensky" appended to his name. Alexander I called him one of Europe's greatest commanders; Kutuzov died in April 1813, months after the war he'd won by refusing to fight it on Napoleon's terms.
