Kotovskiy (Котовский) Grigoriy Ivanovich(1881—1925)

Grigore Kotovski (mostly known under his Russified name, Grigori Ivanovich Kotovsky) was a Moldovan military leader and Communist activist.

A deserter from the Imperial Russian army, a convict in a katorga and a fugitive sentenced to death in 1916, Kotovski had begun resisting tsarist rule since 1902, leading two Moldovan rebellions in 1905 and 1915. During the last part of World War I, Kotovski was sent to the Romanian front. In 1918, he sided with the Communists in Tiraspol, taking command of a revolutionary battalion and helping the Bolsheviks gain control of the Ukraine. He joined the Bolshevik party in 1920. In 1924, he took an active part in the foundation of the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic in Transnistria as part of the Ukrainian SSR.

Three towns in the Soviet Union were named Kotovsk after him.
