General of the Infantry (Russian: генера́л от инфанте́рии) was a general of the branch rank in the Imperial Russian Army (today comparable to OF-8 rank level). It served as the rank below General-feldmarschal (Russian: генерал-фельдмаршал), and was the highest rank one could achieve in the infantry from 1796 to 1917.[1][2]
The rank was introduced by the Russian Emperor Peter the Great in 1700. It was introduced in the Table of Ranks in 1722. It was no longer used in 1724 but the rank was reintroduced by Emperor Paul I in 1796.[1][2]
