Nikolai Ogarkov is remembered in public life for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Nikolai Ogarkov as Marshal of the Soviet Union (1917–1994).
Nikolai Ogarkov was born at Molokovo in 1917. His recorded nationality is Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic. He was educated at Military Academy of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia and Military Institute of Engineering Forces of the Armed Forces Academy.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
He worked as military personnel, politician and military commander.
Political reputations are settled slowly, and rarely by the people who made them.
His recorded fields of work are military affairs and armed forces.
His work was formally recognised with the Order of Lenin, Medal "For the Victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War 1941–1945" and Order of the Red Banner.
Working from Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Nikolai Ogarkov died in 1994, aged 77. What survives is the work, which is the only durable form of a reputation.
