Vasily Alexeyevich Kar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vasily Alexeyevich Kar (Russian: Василий Алексеевич Кар; 1730 – 25 February 1806) was a Russian general chiefly noted for his defeat in the early stages of Pugachev's Rebellion. His defeat allowed the rebellion to grow into a major threat to the government of Catherine the Great until later army expeditions were able to suppress it. His family name is often transliterated in Western sources as Karr.
