Shane,
you are posting: "I don't really know anything about the other guys, which makes me sound really dumb, I know, but I'm afraid I know very little of Russian history, as I'm still in the early stages of learning about it."
So why did you not use the oppertunity to send an mail to Prof. Glantz? He would have explained to you in a few words, why only one single person, at this poll, receives to be seen as "the greatest strategic genius" and his name definitly does not begin with a "Z", like "Zulus", "Zoe" or "Zacharias". Also Stalin had his advisors.
Even our own experts (these friends, who are always in oppostion to me) at the forum regard Prof. Glantz as T H E authority in the military history of the Soviet Union.
BTW: I did not install this poll to ask the question: "Who was the S A V I O U R of the former Soviet Union", but the question is: "Who was the greatest S T R A T E G I C genius ...". So my next friend will post, that he had to vote for Admiral Kuznetsov, because he was always sailing such elegant ships ....
Anyhow, thanks for voting and I think, that I will install the next poll without any question at the beginning ....
Don't take my remarks too serious...
Best regards
Christian
