Major General
major general
also: генерал-майор, general-mayor
An army general-officer rank in the Table of Ranks, cited by the admiral as the military equivalent of an actual state councillor -- the comparison by which he tries to argue his own rank is just as good as a "real" general's.
Reading notes
