It was Halloween, and my friends and I gathered at my place. We decided to tell horror stories. Vanessa started with the first story, Peter was the next, and then the others went on. When it came to my turn, a nasty storm began. Suddenly, the lights went out. It frightened me and confused my friends as we couldn't see anything and we didn't know what was going on. Peter stroke a match and we noticed that Jenny wasn't there. Then we heard someone laughing in the kitchen and the lights came back on! Jenny came back into the room and told us that we were scared like little children. "No need to be worried. This isn't a haunted house, it was just a powerful cut!" she smiled. We all felt very silly.
Suvorov was born in Moscow in 1729. He studied military history as a young boy and joined the Imperial Russian Army at the age of 17. During the Seven Years' War he was promoted to colonel in 1762 for his success on the battlefield. When war broke out with the Bar Confederation in 1768, Suvorov captured Krakow and defeated the Poles at Lanckorona and Stołowicze, bringing about the start of the Partitions of Poland. He was promoted to general and next fought in the Russo-Turkish War of 1768–1774, winning a decisive victory at the Battle of Kozludzha. Becoming the General of the Infantry in 1786, he commanded in the Russo–Turkish War of 1787–1792 and won crushing victories at the Battle of Rymnik and Siege of Izmail. For his accomplishments, he was made a Count of both the Russian Empire and Holy Roman Empire. Suvorov put down a Polish uprising in 1794, defeating them at the Battle of Maciejowice and storming Warsaw.
