Talk:Alexander Sergeyevich Menshikov

Injury
"...He distinguished himself at the Siege of Varna in 1828 when an exploding Turkish cannon shell emasculated him"

That seems a creepy way of putting it. Discretion out of general respect would suggest, ...he was severely injured instead, without intriguing sniggerers.

Further, some evidence of his lack of martial skill would be preferable to blanket statements.
