Count Matvei Ivanovich Platov (1753-1818) is a revered figure in Russian history, celebrated for his distinguished leadership during the Napoleonic Wars. Commanding the Don Cossacks, a semi-nomadic group along the Don River, he played a pivotal role in significant events such as the Battle of Leipzig in 1813. Here, Platov's strategic brilliance and the mobility of the Cossack cavalry were instrumental in disrupting and defeating Napoleon's forces. Beyond his military prowess, Count Platov left an indelible mark on the administrative and urban fabric of the region. He is credited with founding Novocherkassk, which was designated as the new capital of the Don Host Province. Novocherkassk emerged as a vital centre for the Don Cossacks, serving as a hub for governance and organizational matters. Count Matvei Ivanovich Platov's enduring legacy as a military leader and his role in establishing Novocherkassk underscore his significance in Russian history. His contributions during the Napoleonic Wars and the subsequent reshaping of the Don Cossack territories mark him as a critical figure of his time. Remarkably, his impact resonates even over 100 years after his passing.
