THEODORE (Fedor) GRIGORIEVICH ORLOV, COUNT (17411796) ,
Russian
  general, first distinguished himself in the Seven Years' War. He participated with his
elder

chief
  procurator of the
senate
 . During the first Turkish War of Catherine II. he served under
Admiral
  Spiridov, and was one of the first to break through the Turkish line of
battle
  at Cheshme. Subsequently, at Hydra, he put to flight eighteen Turkish vessels. These exploits were, by the order of Catherine, commemorated by a triumphal column, crowned with naval trophies, erected at Tsarskoe Selo. In 1775 he retired from the public service. Orlov was never married, but had five natural children, whom Catherine ennobled and legitimatized.
