Ok here's one for you. I will start with hard clues and then progress to easier ones if you are still stuck.

Who am I and why am I remembered?

1st clue:

My last Chief of Staff was General Sandalov.

Since Sandalov was chief of staff for 7 different formations (with presumably 7 different commanders) between 1940 and 1946 you would have to supply more information as far as I am concerned.

Ok how about Ivan Stepanovich Konev?
Hard to tell what he was most remembered for probably actions at Kursk or possibly role in the defence of Moscow..
