Rokossovski, Konstantin Konstantinovich
Polish-born Marshal of the Soviet Union. He came to prominence during World War II as commander of the 16th Army defending Moscow in 1941, and played an important role in pushing the Germans back from Soviet territory. He was Polish defence minister and commander-in-chief of the Polish armed forces (1949–56) and deputy prime minister of Poland (1952–56). In 1956 the new Wladyslaw Gomulka regime dismissed him in response to widespread popular anti-Russian feeling, and he returned to the USSR. From 1961 he was a candidate member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party.
