Spiridon Sergeyevich Chernyugov (Russian: Спиридон Сергеевич Чернюгов; 27 December 1900 – 1 November 1960) was a Soviet Army major general.

During the Russian Civil War, in October 1917, he joined the Red Guards and was sent to the 291st Reserve Field Hospital, where he worked as a messenger and orderly.

Chernyugov fell seriously ill with typhus, and was evacuated to a hospital in Nizhny Novgorod, going on sick leave between February and July 1920.

After his recovery, Chernyugov was assigned to the 16th Rifle Regiment in Dorogobuzh, and in August 1920 sent to study at the 18th Infantry Command Courses in Kaluga, participating in the suppression of the Tambov Rebellion as part of a student detachment between March and November 1921.

[1] After graduating from the courses in April 1922, Chernyugov was seconded as a platoon commander at the disposal of the assistant commander-in-chief for Siberia, becoming a student at the 1st School of the Forces of Special Purpose (ChON) in Omsk.

From January 1935, he served as chief of staff of the 210th Rifle Regiment of the division, and in April 1936 became assistant head of the reconnaissance department of the district headquarters.

The same report noted that between 5 and 7 July, during battles near Zhlobin, Chernyugov's poor leadership resulted in the loss of half of the infantry and artillery of the division, accusing him of abandoning his unit and crossing the Dnieper to the rear.

Upon recovery in July, he was appointed head of the Moscow Infantry Officer Improvement Courses, remaining in this position for the rest of the war.

He was replaced in this position in February 1949 and placed at disposal of the Ground Forces Personnel Directorate, and then the Central Council of the All-Union DOSARM (later merged to become DOSAAF).
