General Andrei Vasilyevich Khrulyov (Russian: ?????? ?????????? ??????) (September 30 [O.S.
September 18] 1892, village of Bolshaya Alexandrovka, Saint Petersburg Governorate - June 9, 1962, Moscow) was a Soviet military commander and statesman.
At his death in 1962, a group of marshals pressed the Politburo to bury Khrulyov in the Kremlin Wall Necropolis.
Normally, generals of his rank (Army General) were not entitled to this honor; Nikita Khrushchev was known to dislike Khrulyov and suggested burying him at the Novodevichy Cemetery.
The military prevailed, and Khrulyov's ashes were buried on Red Square.
