Aleksei Yermolov's inclusion in the Bank of Russia's "Outstanding Military Commanders and Naval Officers" series reflects his contested rehabilitation in official memory. A brutal architect of the Caucasus campaigns in the 1810s–1820s, he was dismissed by Nicholas I in 1827 partly due to his associations with the Decembrist movement — yet by the Soviet period, and again in post-Soviet Russia, his aggressive pacification of the region had been reframed as nation-building. The 2012 release coincided with the bicentennial commemorations of the 1812 Patriotic War, in which Yermolov commanded the artillery at Borodino.
