Aleksandr Vasiliyevich Kolchak

1874 - 1920

Was a naval commander early on in the Russian Civil War and later head of part of the anti-Bolshevik White forces.

From Wikipedia, "Admiral Kolchak was a failure at nearly every level from the time of his taking the position of Supreme Ruler until his death, though it must be borne in mind that he operated under very difficult circumstances. As a military commander he was unable to make successful strategic plans or to manage to coordinate with other White Army generals. Whatever his military successes, he was a poor and careless administrator, his government was notoriously corrupt, and, unchecked, representatives acting in his name did much harm."
