The depicted bronze memorial tablet dedicated to the famous commander and the last Generalissimo of the Russian Empire, Alexander V. Suvorov, you can find on the facade of the Old Town Hall (Stará radnice) in town Ceský Brod. Alexander V. Suvorov spent here, in this house, night in 21th January 1800 during his return to Russia after his Italian campaign against Napoleon's armies of Revolutionary France (1799-1800). Suvorov and part of his army overwintered this year in Bohemia and was host in Prague' aristocratic families.
Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov (1730-1800), Count Suvorov of Rymnik, Prince of Italy, Count of the Holy Roman Empire, national hero of Russia, was the last Generalissimo of the Russian Empire. Suvorov is one of the few generals in history who never lost a battle, being undefeated in over 60 large battles while always having numerical disadvantage. He was famed for his military manual The Science of Victory and noted for several of his sayings, including "What is difficult in training will become easy in a battle", "The bullet is a mad thing; only the bayonet knows what it is about", and "Perish yourself but rescue your comrade!". He taught his soldiers to attack instantly and decisively: "Attack with the cold steel! Push hard with the bayonet!" He joked with the men, calling common soldiers 'brother', and shrewdly presented the results of detailed planning and careful strategy as the work of inspiration. [wiki]
