General Pavel Petrovich Liprandi, Павел Петрович Липранди, (15 January 1796 – 27 August 1864) was a Russian soldier who took part in the Crimean War.
On the French invasion of Russia in 1812, he unsuccessfully tried to enter the Akhtyrsky Hussars, but had to satisfy himself with being a volunteer on the staff of 6 Corps (commanded by Dmitry Dokhturov), in which his brother Ivan Petrovich was serving as chief quartermaster. Pavel fought with the corps in the battles of Tarutino, Maloyaroslavets and Krasnoi. Due to this experience was made a sub-ensign in the Pskov Musketeer Regiment in 1813, with which he participated in the pursuit of Napoleon's army back across Germany and into France, fighting at Katzbach (for the difference he made to the non-commissioned ranks), Dresden, Brienne, La Rothière, Laffert-sous-Zhoar (for which was made a second lieutenant), Montmirail, Chateau-Thierry, Méré, Craonne, Laon, Soissons and the capture of Paris.
In 1816 Liprandi was appointed adjutant to General Talyzin, head of the 16th Division; in 1818 (already at the rank of captain) he was transferred to the Life Guards Grenadier Regiment. In 1822 he was transferred to the general staff, with his appointment as adjutant to the corps commander General Sabaneyev, with whom he soon became friends and through whom he became known to Count Vorontsov and VP Kiselev. Close interaction with these commanders had a great influence on Liprandi, as was to become manifest later, when he took command himself.
