Baron Pyotr Nikolayevich Wrangel (German: Peter von Wrangel) (Пётр Николаевич Врангель) (August 15, 1878, Zarasai, Lithuania (then Imperial Russia) — April 25, 1928, Brussels, Belgium), was one of the leaders of the White movement in Southern Russia, Lieutenant General (1917).
Wrangel gave every officer, soldier, and civilian a free choice: evacuate and go with him into the unknown, or stay behind and risk Soviet occupation.
Some (including Wrangel's family) believe that the general was poisoned by his butler's brother, who lived in the Wrangel household in Brussels briefly and was allegedly a Soviet agent.
