The bullet hit him in the cheek and flew into his neck.
“Yesterday, the head of Kutuzov was shot again. I think he will die today or tomorrow.”

In 1774 in the battle near the village of Shuma near Alushta, 300 people were killed by the Turks, the Russians lost 32 people. Among the wounded was Lieutenant Colonel Kutuzov.
“This chief officer was wounded by a bullet that, hitting him between the eye and the whisker, flew out in the same place on the other side of his face.”
The bullet hit the commander in his left eyelid, came out of his right eye, but did not hit him.
He was operated. Doctors considered the wound deadly.
However, Mikhail Illarionovich recovered, although the recovery process was long.

On August 18, 1788, during the siege of the fortress, Očakov Kutuzov was again seriously wounded in the head. The bullet hit Mikhail Illarionovich in the cheek approximately in the same place where he was wounded in 1774. From a great loss of blood he felt weakness and was taken out of the battlefield. In a letter to the Austrian Emperor Joseph, Prince de Lin wrote: “Yesterday they shot Kutuzov’s head again. I think he will die today or tomorrow.”

“They shot the head again,” it sounds great.
Catherine the Great was able to pick people.
