  • Count Valerian Aleksandrovich Zubov (1771–1804) was a Russian general who led the Persian Expedition of 1796. His siblings included Platon Zubov and Olga Zherebtsova. As a young man Zubov had flattering prospects of a brilliant military career due to his brother Platon's ascendancy at Catherine II's court. He was reputed by contemporaries as "the handsomest man in Russia". The legend has it that the aged Empress flirted with him, secretly from his brother. During her reign he was much lionized as a military hero of incredible valor. He was appointed General-Major and sent to assist Suvorov in quelling the Kościuszko Uprising in Poland, where he was said to treat both the Polish noblemen and their wives brazenly and "in the most lowly manner". During this stay in Poland, he married Teodor Lubomirski's granddaughter and lost his left leg in the autumn of 1794 while crossing the Western Bug, as he was wounded by a cannonball. Several months before Catherine's death, 24-year-old Zubov was invited to take charge of the army heading for Persia. The expedition, launched in 1796, initially under the motto of complying to the promise Russia had made 23 years earlier to Georgia to protect it against any Persian attempts to bring the country under its hegemony again, was now just one of another wars for regional hegemony that was going on for a long time between Turkey, Persia, and Imperial Russia. Zubov started the expedition much promising, seizing Derbent in Dagestan in April, and Baku by July of the same year the invasion started. Catherine waxed jubilant at his rapid progress, which in two months repeated some of the gains of Peter the Great during the Russo-Persian War (1722-1723). By November, they were stationed at the confluence of the Araks and Kura Rivers, poised to attack mainland Iran. It was in that month that the Empress of Russia died and her successor Paul I, who detested the Zubovs and had other plans for the army, ordered the troops to retreat back to Russia. Zubov's return from his luckless expedition occasioned an ode by Derzhavin, meditating on the fleeting nature of fortune and success. (en)
  • Valerian Aleksandrovič Zubov (San Pietroburgo, 28 novembre 1771 – San Pietroburgo, 21 giugno 1804) è stato un generale russo. Tra i favoriti della zarina Caterina II di Russia, grazie all'ascendente di suo fratello Platon sulla sovrana riuscì a percorrere una rapidissima e fruttuosa carriera militare che lo condusse al grado di Generale a meno di trent'anni. Impegnato nella Guerra russo-persiana (1796), al blocco improvviso di questa si vide cadere in disgrazia presso lo zar Paolo I di Russia e per questo, assieme ai suoi fratelli e ad altri alti ufficiali russi, cospirò per ucciderlo nel 1801. Sotto il governo di Alessandro I di Russia venne incluso nel consiglio di stato e, per quanto la sua figura fosse tenuta in considerazione per i suoi progetti commerciali con l'oriente, lo zar non ebbe mai piena fiducia nella sua persona. Considerato uno degli uomini più belli della Russia del suo tempo, ebbe numerose amanti di cui la più nota fu certamente la principessa Maria Fëdorovna Lubomirska, già moglie del governatore di Kiev, Antoni Protazy Potocki, la quale fuggì con lui creando scandalo.
