Scribbled up a rough index of the Senior Russian Commanders who were killed. At first I was skimming through Rob Lee's Twitter feed of confirmed deaths, and then tried to find an Order of Battle... and saw Wikipedia had it potentially indexed, replete with Commanders and their names. So that made the process a bit easier. This is kinda all of the Senior Commanders I suppose, like Regiment Level above... but also includes Air Force officers and the like as well. Didn't add the Chechen General Magomed Tushayev since the state of his death or lack thereof is supposedly in doubt. Also missing a fair number of Majors and maybe Captains and Lieutenant Colonels who aren't commanding entire units worthy of being on the Order of Battle but I added some in edits and linked Tweets to source some information on them. Maybe that's something I can add later as well. Added dismissals and firings/arrestings and suicide and wounded if not returning to duty since that was listed as well but added the parenthetical. Otherwise it should just be dead officers names listed (unless I messed up). RIP.
