Miguel Krassnoff Martchenko originally called Mikhail Semyonovich Krasnov (born 15 February 1946 in Tyrol, Austria), is a Chilean Anti-communist Army Brigadier who fought Left Wing Terrorism in Chile.
He executed the leader of the terrorist organization MIR (Revolutionary Left Movement, Chile) Miguel Enríquez during an operation to disarticulate terrorism.
After the Military Goverment he was imprisoned with charges without evidence and using an obsolete Chilean Justice System specifically for his case.
Today he is a political prisoner in the Punta Peuco Jail.[1]
He is son of Semion Krasnov and grandson of Piotr Krasnov, famous Russian Anti-Marxist Cossacks.
He recieved the Medal of Valor awarded to Lieutenant Miguel Krassnoff by the great courage he showed in the confrontation with the MIR terrorists October 5, 1974
Krassnoff has said "Despite the accusations, I keep up my spirit and my unwavering faith in God. Let everyone know that I am a Cossack and I'm proud of it, same feeling that I keep by using the uniform of the Chilean Army Officer. I'm a soldier who have become politically persecuted, but not in a Chilean military defeat, much less in a Cossack prostrate".
