metadata.value: This was a man whose fate often took on many strange colours that were at times quite
  tragic. Having started after the end of the AGSh at the General Staff, like every young graduate of
  the “General Staff” alma mater, he got carried away by aviation and even flew on dirigibles himself…
  Our hero succeeded at this “fashionable” occupation in the beginning of the last century so much
  so that he even headed the air school. However, an inadvertently said word forced him to abandon
  aviation and return to the path in which he began his service in the Russian Imperial Army, to the
  army cavalry. The specific situation in which Sergei Ivanovich Odintsov found himself in the spring
  of 1918 was also that he not only became one of the first “General Staff” officers of the Red Army, but
  also one of the first victims of the Chekist terror among the Red Army’s General Staff Corps. Once in
  military service with the Bolsheviks, Sergei Ivanovich was twice arrested and twice saved from prison
  and returned to the service in the Red Army by the “guardian angel” of the corps of the Red Army
  General Staff, Chairman of the Revolutionnary Military Soviet of Republic (RVSR), L. D. Trotsky. In
  his personal life, our protagonist also suffered many troubles: he divorced his wife as early as 1919,
  and their eldest son lost both legs having fallen under a tram. The author hopes that this article
  will shed additional light on the biography of another specialist of the Russian and Soviet General
  Staff, whose apogee of life and military service fell precisely for the years of the “second Russian
  Troubles” of 1917–1920.
