Sergey Varentsov Draft
Sergei Sergeyevich Varentsov (Russian: Сергей Сергеевич Варенцов; 10 August [O.S. 28 July] 1901 - 1 March 1971) was a Soviet politician, Hero of the Soviet Union (29 May 1945), and chief marshal of the artillery (6 May 1961). He was the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Rocket Force and Artillery from January 1961 to March 12 1963, whereupon he simultaneously was demoted to Major General of the Artillery and retired from military service, due to the arrest of his protégé Oleg Penkovsky on charges of spying. Varentsov commanded the 60th Army for a brief period between September and October 1942, and was later the chief of artillery for the 1st Ukrainian Front, participating in the Ostrogozhsk–Rossosh offensive, the Battle of the Dnieper, and the Battle of Korsun–Cherkassy, among others. He also took part in the Russian Civil War and the Kronstadt Uprising, later becoming a staff officer in the Kiev and Kharkov military districts, before being posted to the People's Commissariat of Defence.
