== Biography ==
Sakharov was a graduate of the [[General Staff Academy (Imperial Russia)|Nicholas Academy of the General Staff]] and served in the [[Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878)]]. He was subsequently named Assistant Chief of Staff of the [[Warsaw Military District (Russian Empire)|Warsaw Military District]], then Quartermaster General of the Warsaw Military District, and then Chief of Staff of the [[Odessa Military District]]. In 1898, Sakharov became Chief of the General Staff of the Imperial Russian Army.
 
In 1898, Sakharov became Chief of the General Staff of the Imperial Russian Army.
In early 1904, after the beginning of the [[Russo-Japanese War]], Sakharov succeeded [[Aleksey Kuropatkin]] as a [[Ministry of War of the Russian Empire|Minister of War]], when Kuropatkin was appointed commander-in-chief of the Russian land forces in [[Manchuria]]. Sakharov remained in [[St Petersburg]] throughout the war, and had little influence on the strategy or tactics of the conflict. He was dismissed from this post by [[Nicholas II of Russia|Tsar Nicholas II]] on 21 June 1905 and replaced by Lieutenant General [[Aleksandr Rediger]] on 4 July 1905.<ref name= Kowner>Kowner, '' Historical Dictionary of the Russo-Japanese War'', p. 339.</ref>
