Serutan, I think you are meaning the guy, but the spelling is a bit too far from reality. Sorry, try again. (Tip: A Star Trek ship class is named after him)

The spelling *was* a bit off. It' really Oberth.

Tsilkovskiy?
If not him then any of the 4:
Кондратюк, Победоносцев, Тихонравов, Глушко
(Kondratuk, Pobedonoszev, Tihonraavov, Glushko) - 1932?

Where are you from? 
(and its "vash" as "vasha" is feminine/vopors - masculin)
Who was the commander who saved the Roman Republic in the 2nd Punic War and how did he do it?
Hints: He was a military commander for 6 months in the first years of the war. Hannibal thought he was the best Roman general that ever encountered him. And its not Scipio.

I'm guessing the answer you're looking for is Quintius Fabius Maximus Cunctator (the Delayer). He saved Rome [from yet another military catastrophe] by avoiding pitched battle, a fact that has produced the English term "Fabian Tactics". Fabius seems to have encountered lots of criticism at the time, but later historians tend to vindicate him.

Nope Gelion. It was fine. 
Ok...here goes:
Which Roman emperor, who was known at the time as Antoninus, who son of another Emperor, murdered his brother to assume full control of the Empire? What was the name of his father, his mother and the brother he murdered?
