The Russian Historians tell that the Lebedev died in China in 1928 year, but it's not a true:



Lebedev Dmitry Antonovich (1883-1926) the Colonel (1917). The General-major (11.1918)
.

Mihailov artillery school (1903)

The participant of the Japanese war 1904-1905.
Aprill, 22, 1915 awarded with 4- St George cross for Zimgrod defencive operation

As a story tell's: the General Lebedev emigrate to China and died there.
But it's no way- he go back to Estonia in 1920 an served in Estonian army in the same rank of General-Major

Russian historicans would opearate with this story, that he died in 1928 in China, but it's not a true- look at the pictures, when the Lebedev i being worn a M26 Estonian uniform and the same face in WW1
