But Ivan Stepanovich of the efforts of colleagues is not appreciated.
Military career
the Future Marshal was born in 1897 in a village in the Kirov region. If you believe the authors of the publication “the Great Russian generals and naval commanders. Stories about faithfulness, about exploits, about glory” Alexander Ermakova and Vladimir Krasnova Ivan Konev from 12 years of age worked along with older travelers in the forest. The opportunity to make a real career opened for country boy thanks to conscription, and after the coming to power of the Bolsheviks. Giving back to the Motherland, Konev was discharged in 1918. In the same year he joined the party and was almost immediately elected County military Commissioner in the town of Nikolsk. Then the promotion went much faster.
