Filipp Kuzmich Mironov (Russian: Филипп Кузьмич Миронов; 1872–1921) was a Bolshevik revolutionary leader during and after the Russian Revolution. He actively supported the idea of democracy in the form of the Soviet Republic, was one of the first commanders in the Red Army. Mironov was commander of the Cavalry Corps and refused to suborrdinate himself to the orders of the Southern Front Command. He had organised a mutiny with 5,000 Red Guards in 1919.[1][2][3]
In response, he was trialled in a military tribunal organised by Trotsky and initially sentenced to death for military insubordination.[4] He was pardoned on the eve of this execution due to the intervention of Trotsky and Lenin, but later re-arrested on charges for conspiring to organise an insurrection against the Soviet government. According to historian Laura Engelstein, the documents do not specify "if the charges had any foundation". Mironov was shot by the Cheka in Moscow.[5]
