A World War I veteran of the Imperial Russian Army and Bolshevik since 1917, Putna was a komdiv during the Polish–Soviet War and commanded a variety of divisions. During the retreat following the Battle of Warsaw, he gathered around him ad-hoc corps out of defeated units and enabled the remnants of the Red Army to escape from a large cauldron near Białystok.[1] In 1921, he took part in suppressing the Kronstadt Rebellion and Peasant uprisings on the Lower Volga. In 1923, he was sent as a military advisor to China and between 1927 and 1931, he was military attaché to Japan, Finland and Germany. He was posted to the Far East Military district in 1931 and was made military attache to Great Britain in 1934.[2]
