Semyon Konstantinovich Timoshenko (Russian:Семён Константи́нович Тимоше́нко, Semën Konstantinovič Timošenko; Ukrainian:Семе́н Костянти́нович Тимоше́нко, Semen Kostiantynovych Tymoshenko) (18 February[O.S. 6 February]1895– 31 March 1970) was a Soviet military commander and Marshal of the Soviet Union.
During the Russian Civil War, Timoshenko fought on various fronts. His most important encounter occurred at Tsaritsyn (later renamed Stalingrad), where he commanded a cavalry regiment, and met and befriended Joseph Stalin, who was responsible for the city's defense. This connection would ensure his rapid advancement after Stalin gained control of the Communist Party by the end of the 1920s. In 1920–1921, Timoshenko served under Semyon Budyonny in the 1st Cavalry Army; he and Budyonny would become the core of the "Cavalry Army clique" which, under Stalin's patronage, would dominate the Red Army for many years.
