'''Alexander Ilyich Dutov''' ({{Lang-ru|Алекса́ндр Ильи́ч Ду́тов}}) (1879—1921), one of the leaders of the [[Cossack]] [[counterrevolution]] in the [[Urals]], [[Lieutenant General]] (1919).

Dutov was born in Kazalinsk in [[Syr-Darya Oblast]] (now [[Kazaly]] in [[Kazakhstan]]). He graduated from Nikolayev cavalry School, and Nikolayev Engineering Institute, now [[Military engineering-technical university]] (Russian [[:ru:Военный инженерно-технический университет|Военный инженерно-технический университет]]), and [[General Staff Academy (Imperial Russia)|General Staff Academy]] (1908). He was Assistant [[Commander]] of the Cossack regiment during [[World War I]]. After the [[February Revolution]], Dutov was appointed head of the All-Russian Cossack Army Union, then Chairman of the counterrevolutionary All-Russian Cossack Congress (June, 1917), and then Chief of the Army Administration and [[ataman]] of the [[Orenburg]] Cossack Army (September).

In November, Dutov raised a revolt against the [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] authorities in [[Orenburg]]. In June 1918, Dutov with the help of the [[Czech Legion]] organized a struggle for complete termination of the Soviet authority in the Urals. He was in charge of the Detached Orenburg Army in [[Aleksandr Kolchak]]'s army.

In 1919 he tried to convince General [[Grigory Semyonov]] to join him as a stronger force to fight the [[Red Army]]. Semyonov refused despite a significant diplomatic effort from Governor [[Vasile Balabanov]] claiming he was governor only since the provisional government in [[St Petersburg]] collapsed in the revolution.

In 1920 General Dutov helped a number of Russian leaders including [[Vasile Balabanov]], the Administrator of [[Semirechye]] to escape to [[China]].

After his army's defeat by Red Army, Dutov escaped to China, where he was [[assassinate]]d in [[Suiding]] by a [[Bolshevik]] agent Мahmud Khadzhamirov (''Махмуд Хаджамиров'') in February 1921.
