Kremlin troops growth.  The Presidential Regiment - the history of appearance and our days

Today I learned about the existence of an interesting urban tradition. It turns out that every year on May 7, former soldiers of the Presidential Regiment gather near the Eternal Flame on Manezhnaya Square and celebrate the day of the regiment.

I found out about this quite by accident... First shots of champagne, then screams, then someone hits someone in the face, the police arrive... In general, it's fun. Good tradition.

The Presidential Regiment (full and proud name - the Presidential Regiment of the Commandant's Office of the Moscow Kremlin of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation) is a unique military unit that solves special tasks to ensure the protection of the Moscow Kremlin facilities. The residence of the President of Russia, holding protocol events at the highest level, the allocation of guards of honor, serving at the Eternal Flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier - everything is under the protection and control of these guys.

As the official site says: "They are all different, but at the same time they are all united by an ardent love for the Motherland, the desire to fulfill the assigned tasks with high quality, to honestly and conscientiously fulfill their military duty."

These are not just elegant uniforms and changing of the guard of honor to the delight of tourists. This regiment is a real combat unit of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

Everyone is equal, as in the selection - this is about the Presidential Regiment. These guys are carefully selected for their moral and physical qualities. Height, weight, vision and hearing - everything should be not just within the normal range, but at the highest level.

Today is President's Regiment Day! The tradition has been going on since 1965, when the Separate Special Forces Regiment, which since October 1935 had been guarding the Kremlin, was awarded the Order of the Red Banner. It was then that May 7 became the annual holiday of the Separate Red Banner Kremlin Regiment. March 20, 1993 The President of the Russian Federation issued a decree renaming the Separate Red Banner into the Presidential Regiment. The 79th birthday is celebrated by his soldiers on a grand scale.

All meet near the Eternal Flame. Then everything is very reminiscent of the day of the Airborne Forces. Former colleagues look for each other, hug, drink, take pictures, sing songs. Someone opens champagne, someone marches.

At some point, a conflict broke out between the vacationers. Conversations began to be conducted on raised tones. Passers-by started calling the police.

There is some strange history with the police. She was not in the Alexander Garden and on Manezhnaya Square at all. Considering the approaching holiday, this is very strange. After about 10 minutes, two policemen came up and asked the arguing young people not to hit each other. The young people hugged the policemen and asked them not to interfere. Everything was very cultural, the police called for help on the radio.

04. Another 10 minutes later, a police car rolled up to the Eternal Flame with a quack. Four policemen got out of it and immediately ran to grab the former soldiers closest to the car. But it all ended with hugs again. The arriving police officers were told that people had a cultural rest and that they should not be disturbed. The police called the riot police.

But they filled the Eternal Flame with champagne! They were screaming here! - the policeman who called for help at the beginning of the conflict was indignant.
- Come on, the guys are resting, this is their holiday, better go chase the beggars!

The eternal flame is empty. Soon, nothing reminded of the stormy meeting of former colleagues, except for splashes of champagne on red granite.

The presidential regiment went to the fountains.

Later, the participants of the Victory Parade, walking nearby, joined the vacationers.

Former and current soldiers quickly found a common language, and the fun continued.

What do I think about this? Good holiday. The guys are resting, everything is cultural (almost), peaceful (almost) and positive.

Happy Holidays, Presidential Regiment!

The Presidential (Kremlin) Regiment is a military unit for solving specific combat missions related to the protection of the Moscow Kremlin and other important state facilities. The regiment participates in holding events at the highest level, organizing guards of honor, carrying out honorable service at the Eternal Flame, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Day of the Presidential Regiment is celebrated every year on the same date - May 7th.

history of the holiday

The history of the Presidential Regiment is long and interesting. The first similarity of the unit began to take shape after the October Revolution, when members of the Soviet government moved to the capital. Then they were guarded by a special group of shooters from Latvia. This team was famous for its high professionalism and excellent military skills. A little later, on the basis of the Moscow military, a regiment of famous Kremlin cadets was formed. The convoy received the status of a special unit on April 8, 1936. This date is considered the birthday of the regiment. He turns 81 in 2017.

During the Great Patriotic War, the regiment worked in an enhanced mode, guarding not only the Kremlin, but also many strategically important objects. May 7, 1965 for the promotion of patriotic sentiment, for excellent combat training and for the courage shown during the Second World War, the regiment was awarded the Order of the Red Banner. This day was considered the holiday of the special forces.

The barracks of the Presidential Regiment is located in the historical building of the Arsenal (Tseikhgauz). The order to erect it in 1701 was given by Emperor Peter I. The Zeikhgauz, according to the then head of state, was to become both a repository of weapons and a museum of the country's military glory. Currently, the parade ground and the gym of the famous regiment are located in the courtyard of the Arsenal.

The Presidential Regiment of the FSO is the "facade" unit of the Kremlin troops in Moscow. This is the "face" of the army for both Russians and foreigners.

The Kremlin company lodges directly in the Kremlin, carrying an honor guard, participating in protocol events and guarding the Kremlin, a part (for example, cavalry) is trained in the Moscow region and participates in ceremonies and parades.


Due to the special status, the regiment has the status of a special service and is not in the Ministry of Defense, but in the Federal Security Service (FSO of the Russian Federation). It is commanded by a general (for 2018 - Major General Oleg Galkin), who reports directly to the president.

The purpose of the division

Before you understand what a presidential regiment or Kremlin troops are, you need to talk about a number of tasks that are assigned to the unit.

  • ensure the security of the Kremlin and its inhabitants. Six FSO security companies plus a special forces battalion of the presidential regiment in the Moscow region are a good help to the special services;
  • ensure the preservation of the Kremlin values. Although the Guard of Honor does not have real weapons, it successfully repels both impudent tourists and inadequate fellow citizens;
  • participation in all solemn ceremonies. Spectacular drilled fighters in full dress create a solemn atmosphere and form a respectful attitude towards the Russian army;
  • participation in international competitions and reviews (military bands in Bezel, the annual musical Spasskaya Tower, etc.). Russia's calling card puts it in a favorable light in the eyes of other states.

Composition, deployment and tasks of the Kremlin company

5 battalions include not only the guard of honor and cavalry, which are always in sight and participate in all the most interesting events. Is there some more:

  • Special Forces;
  • chemists;
  • signalmen;
  • rear;
  • drivers, etc.

No, perhaps, sappers and scientific companies.


Expectation is reality

The presidential troops are not limited only to the Guard of Honor - but they do not exclude it either.

History of the Presidential Regiment

Arriving in Moscow, tourists from all over the world tend to see the Kremlin first of all - an ancient fortress, which is not only a historical monument, but also the official residence of the head of state. The enormous significance for the country of this complex complex of buildings, surrounded by high battlements, is additionally emphasized by a special ritual - the changing of the guard of honor at Post No. 1. The main participants of the solemn ceremony - soldiers in beautiful full dress, marching with impeccable marching steps, serve in the Presidential Regiment, the most unusual and most prestigious military unit in the country. Many conscripts would like to get there, however, it is very difficult. In the most elite division of Russia, there are very strict criteria for the selection of each candidate - this is one of the traditions developed over many decades.

The history of the creation of the Presidential Regiment

In the Russian Empire, troops that simultaneously performed "security" and ceremonial functions were called the Life Guards. Basically, these were quite combat units that took part in almost all major wars, however, parades made up a significant part of their service.

Pavel I, a well-known admirer of the "Prussian school", paid special attention to these events. It was he who introduced that drill step, which is still used today. In addition, on the special instructions of the emperor, a detailed ceremonial for changing the guard of honor was developed, which has survived to this day.

When the Romanov dynasty was overthrown from the throne, the Life Guards were disbanded. After the Bolsheviks came to power, it might seem that the "ceremonial" troops were forever in the past. But in any case, the Council of People's Commissars needed security, which at first was used by a consolidated company of Latvian riflemen, who moved in 1918 from Petrograd to Moscow together with the Soviet government. This small unit did not last long in the Kremlin, as experienced fighters were needed at the front.

Starting from the last months of 1918, the protection of the Council of People's Commissars was entrusted to soldiers who were trained at the 1st Moscow machine gun courses. They carried guard duty on the territory of the Kremlin until 1935. This period is interesting, first of all, by the appearance of Post No. 1, which was located near the Lenin Mausoleum shortly after the death of the first head of the Soviet state.

In October 1935, it was decided to use a special unit of the NKVD, known as "bosNaz" (special purpose battalion), to protect the Kremlin. The fighters of the Moscow machine-gun courses were relocated from the center of the capital to Lefortovo. Almost immediately it became clear that one battalion was not enough to solve all the problems, and in April 1936, "bosNaz" was reorganized into "pSpN" (special purpose regiment). It is from this moment that the “official” part of the history of the Presidential Regiment begins.

Like the imperial guard, the new unit was used in combat. This happened for the first time in 1939, when some PSPN fighters were sent to the Soviet-Finnish War.

During the Great Patriotic War, the regiment was mainly engaged in the direct protection of the Kremlin. Air surveillance posts and machine-gun crews were set up on the fortress walls, whose duties included not only protecting against bombardment, but also suppressing landing attempts - such a threat was considered quite serious. The command post of the regiment was moved to the belfry of the bell tower of Ivan the Great. For defensive purposes, even the Tsar Bell was used, inside which communication equipment was placed.

Service in the Kremlin regiment became especially tense in October 1941, when Moscow went into a state of siege and there was a danger of enemy troops appearing directly on the streets of the capital.

Starting in the autumn of 1942, part of the regiment's fighters underwent special sniper training in the Novaya Kupavna camp and were sent to the front. "Kremlin" snipers managed to destroy over 1,200 Nazis within two years, but they themselves also came under fire. In total, during the war, the regiment irretrievably lost 97 people, many of whom died not at the front, but while repelling air raids.

In 1943, due to a change in the structure of the NKVD, "pSpN" came under the control of the NKGB (later the MGB). The entire further fate of the unit is connected with the state security agencies, with the exception of a short period of 1953-54, when the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of State Security were a single department.

A special date in the history of the regiment was April 20, 1955: on that day, the government decided on free admission to the Kremlin. From that moment on, the tasks of guarding became much more complex.

The official name "Kremlin Regiment" appeared only in 1973. Soon the badge of the same name was established, which was awarded to the best fighters. The full name in those years sounded like this: "Separate Kremlin Regiment of the State Security Committee under the Council of Ministers of the USSR."

The collapse of the Soviet Union led to the dissolution of the KGB. The structures that replaced this powerful department changed their name several times. The Kremlin Regiment was also repeatedly renamed, which, starting in 1993, became the Presidential Regiment.

Currently, the official name of the unit is the Red Banner Order of the October Revolution, the Presidential Regiment of the Service of the Commandant of the Moscow Kremlin of the FSO of the Russian Federation.

The main structure of the regiment

Most tourists only see the guards of honor standing at Post #1 near the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, however, their number is rather small - one company is enough to perform this ritual.

In total, there are about three thousand fighters in the Presidential Regiment who serve in the following units:

  1. Battalion No. 1. It consists of the 3rd, 4th and 5th companies of the regiment;
  2. Battalion No. 2 (motorized rifle). Includes the 7th, 8th and 9th companies;
  3. Battalion No. 3. Consists of the first and eleventh companies of the special guard, as well as an auxiliary automobile unit;
  4. Cavalry honorary escort. Exists since 2002. Includes cavalry squadron, security squad, 10th company and support company;
  5. Operational Reserve Battalion. Special Immediate Combat Response Unit. Consists of two companies - operational reserve and protection.

As you might guess, only a part of the servicemen are permanently located directly in the Kremlin. The exact strength of the entire regiment and its units is a state secret. At the same time, it is known that more than 50% of all personnel serve not on conscription, but on a contract basis.

Place of deployment and main tasks

Each of the units of the Presidential Regiment must perform its own functions. This can be ensured by the correct choice of points of permanent deployment.

There are five such places today:

  1. Tver region, the territory of the government complex "Zavidovo". Battalion No. 1 is located here, the main task of which is to protect this object;
  2. Moscow region, Odintsovo district, Kalchuga village. This is the deployment point of battalion No. 2 (motorized rifle). The unit is the main striking force of the regiment and is intended to strengthen the protection of the Kremlin in case of a threat of its assault;
  3. Urban-type settlement Kalininets. It houses the Cavalry Honorary Escort of the Presidential Regiment, whose main task is to perform ceremonial functions. The unit is staffed mainly by "contract". The place of deployment was chosen taking into account the need to care for horses;
  4. Moscow region, city of Noginsk. The battalion of the operational reserve is based here, which includes military personnel who have undergone special training. The unit is designed for rapid force response to various emergencies. That is why the battalion is located close to the training ground - for each of the fighters, daily shooting exercises are mandatory;
  5. Moscow, Kremlin, Arsenal premises. This is the location of Battalion No. 3, the most prestigious unit. The main tasks are the protection of the territory and government buildings, as well as the performance of ceremonial functions.

The Kremlin also houses the headquarters and command of the regiment. We should separately mention the model of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, which is located in the Moscow region, near the Kupavna station. This facility is used for training and training of personnel.

Battle flag of the Presidential Regiment

As you know, after the collapse of the USSR, the state symbols were completely renewed. The changes did not bypass the Presidential Regiment of Russia. On May 7, 2006, Vladimir Putin presented this military unit with a new battle flag. Despite the fact that in the speech that followed, the head of state mentioned several times about historical continuity, the appearance of the current symbol of the “Kremlin” does not in any way resemble the “Soviet period”, which is rather strange.

On each of the sides of the new battle banner, a cross with four expanding ends is depicted, located on a white main background. The color of the cross is light blue, with a golden border around the edges. In the center of the panel is the so-called medallion (simply a circle), bordered by a laurel wreath, in the lower part of which you can see a ribbon. The same elements, but somewhat smaller, are located on a white background, between the ends of the cross. The emblem of the FSO is additionally placed in these small medallions.

Both sides of the banner are generally identical, with the exception of the image placed in the central medallion. On the front side - the state emblem of Russia - a double-headed eagle crowned with three crowns, and on the back - the emblem of the Presidential Regiment. The banner is additionally equipped with a cover, sashes and a pantalère (a special baldric).

Uniform of the Presidential Regiment

Special requirements are imposed on the appearance of soldiers and officers serving in the most prestigious military unit in Russia. First of all, this applies to the personnel of the special guard companies.

Everyday uniform

When the soldiers of the Presidential Regiment are not at Post No. 1 and not involved in any ceremonial activities, they use the most ordinary uniforms provided for all military units. The summer set consists of a camouflage uniform and berets, and the winter set additionally includes special underwear, insulated trousers, a pea jacket and a sheepskin hat with earflaps.

Dress uniform

Soldiers of the first, second and reserve battalions of the Presidential Regiment do not participate in ceremonial events. For this reason, their full dress uniform is no different from the "all-army". At the same time, for the personnel of the 1st and 11th companies of the special guard, starting from the "Soviet" times, a special set of clothes was developed.

The so-called special dress uniform of the Presidential Regiment has a number of differences:

  1. The shirt is not protective, but white (for a summer set);
  2. White gloves;
  3. Akselbant;
  4. Ceremonial belt (worn instead of a belt).

All these details are easy to notice on the fighters standing at Post No. 1.

Ceremonial uniform

When holding state protocol events in the Kremlin, the soldiers of the Presidential Regiment are dressed in "historical costumes". They are sometimes referred to as "ceremonial uniforms". It was introduced at the initiative of the first President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin.

The basis for the creation of "historical costumes" was the full dress uniform of the Life Guard units of the sample of 1907-1913.

The most obvious external differences of the ceremonial form are the following details:

  1. A shako is a headdress traditionally associated with the historical period of the Napoleonic wars. Modern examples weigh about 700 grams;
  2. Epaulettes (only for officers);
  3. Gorget is a special neck badge. Worn by officers to indicate their status.

The cut of the ceremonial uniform as a whole is so different from the usual front dress that it is impossible to confuse these two types of clothing.

Selection criteria for the Presidential Regiment

Standing in the guard of honor at Post No. 1 or participating in protocol events, being in close proximity to the head of state, is the dream of many conscripts. But not every one of them can apply for a place in the Presidential Regiment.

In order to have at least a minimal chance of this, several conditions must be met:

  1. Height not less than 175 and not more than 190 centimeters;
  2. Vision is not worse than 0.7 in each eye;
  3. Normal weight and good physique;
  4. The absence of scars, tattoos and large moles on open areas of the body.

Unofficial, but often mentioned conditions are "Slavic" appearance and permanent residence outside of Moscow.

The final decision on who is taken to the Presidential Regiment is made by the FSO, which means that each candidate will literally be studied under a microscope. The presence of a criminal record or some dubious details of the biography of the conscript himself and his relatives will be the basis for refusal. But even if everything is in order, the candidacy may be rejected - there are too many applicants.

The daily routine in the presidential troops of Russia

Soldier service, as you know, is strictly regulated. The presidential regiment in this respect is almost no different from other military units. The rise here takes place at 6.00, followed by charging. The fighters of battalion No. 3 are engaged in physical exercises directly on the territory of the Kremlin, running at least two kilometers every morning. After completing the exercises, the soldiers in an organized manner, in formation, go to breakfast. After they finish their meal, they get to work. The main direction for the 1st and 11th companies is drill training, but military theory is also being studied, as well as the charter.

After a lunch break, classes continue until 18:00, after which the soldiers are given free time, which they use mainly to take care of their dress uniforms, especially shoes. End - at 22:00.

Weekends - Saturday and Sunday. On these days, soldiers can go on leave or visit a club where films are shown or concerts are held. For the fighters of the third battalion, another "club" day is provided - Thursday.

The modern Presidential Regiment, in its basic traditions, bears little resemblance to the pre-revolutionary Life Guards. His "worker-peasant" origin cannot be hidden under a ceremonial shako. But there is nothing wrong with this: the soldiers of the guard of honor, as before, adequately represent Russia, demonstrating to people with their whole appearance that the country remains under reliable protection. There can be no doubt that the prestige of the Presidential Regiment will remain at the same height for the foreseeable future.

Story

From March to September 1918, the protection of the Moscow Kremlin, which became the seat of the Soviet government, was carried out by Latvian riflemen. Then this task was carried out by the 1st Moscow machine gun courses. Red Army, later reorganized into the 1st Soviet United Military School Red Army named after the All-Russian Central Executive Committee.

In October 1935, the 1st military school of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee was transferred from the Kremlin to Lefortovo. Tasks for the protection of the Kremlin were transferred Special Forces Battalion(bosNaz). The battalion was part of the Kremlin commandant's office, which, in accordance with a government decree, was removed from the subordination of the People's Commissariat of Defense and transferred to the subordination of the NKVD.

On April 8, 1936, in accordance with Order No. 122 for the Kremlin garrison, the Special Purpose Battalion was reorganized into Special Purpose Regiment of the NKVD of the USSR(pSpN), over time, unofficially nicknamed "Kremlin".

During the Soviet-Finnish war, part of the regiment's servicemen were involved in hostilities. By order of the Deputy People's Commissar of Internal Affairs of the USSR, 161 people were separated from the regiment and sent to the active Red Army.

From the first days of the Great Patriotic War, the Kremlin Regiment defended the Kremlin from German air raids. On June 25, 1941, by order of the commandant, the regiment switched to enhanced security and defense of facilities. On the Kremlin wall, round-the-clock duty of combat crews was established. In connection with the transition to an enhanced mode of service, the regiment was deployed as a combat unit in wartime states, and included in the active internal troops of the NKVD of the USSR.

In 1942-1943. 4 groups of snipers of the "Kremlin Regiment" were sent to the Western and Volkhov fronts, who destroyed over 1,200 enemy soldiers and officers. During the Great Patriotic War, the loss of the regiment amounted to 97 people.

In 1943, after the separation of the Main Directorate of State Security of the NKVD of the USSR (GUGB NKVD) into a separate commissariat, which is part of the structure of the former 1st department of the GUGB NKVD ( security leaders of the party and government) The special purpose regiment also becomes part of the newly formed bodies, and becomes Special Purpose Regiment of the NKGB of the USSR, and after the transformation in 1946 of the people's commissariats into ministries - Special Purpose Regiment of the Ministry of State Security of the USSR .

On September 19, 1952, the Special Purpose Regiment was transformed into Separate special purpose regiment of the MGB of the USSR(opSpN). Then, in the period from 1953 to 1954, in connection with the merger of the MGB and MIA into a single ministry, was part of the structure MIA THE USSR. After that, since 1954, the regiment entered the structure of the State Security Committee.

On May 7, 1965, for military merit during the Great Patriotic War and high performance in combat and political training, the Separate Special Purpose Regiment was awarded the Order of the Red Banner and becomes Separate Red Banner Special Purpose Regiment of the State Security Committee under the Council of Ministers of the USSR .

On July 24, 1973, the regiment officially receives the status of "Kremlin" - by order of the Chairman of the KGB under the Council of Ministers of the USSR, it is renamed into Separate Red Banner Kremlin Regiment of the KGB under the Council of Ministers of the USSR. After the transformation of the KGB from a department into a central body of state administration on July 5, 1978 - Separate Red Banner Kremlin Regiment of the KGB of the USSR .

On March 25, 1975, the regiment received its own insignia - at the request of the command, by Order of the Chairman of the KGB under the Council of Ministers of the USSR, it was established Chest sign"Kremlin Regiment" to encourage soldiers, sergeants, warrant officers and officers for impeccable service, success in combat and political training, and exemplary military discipline.

On May 5, 1986, in honor of commemorating its 50th anniversary, by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, for merits in ensuring the state security of the USSR and achieving high results in service, the regiment was awarded the Order of the October Revolution.

In 1991, in the last year of the existence of the USSR, in connection with the reorganization of the KGB, the Separate Red Banner Kremlin Regiment of the KGB of the USSR was renamed Separate Red Banner Order of the October Revolution Kremlin Regiment of the Security Directorate under the Office of the President of the USSR. After the collapse of the USSR in 1992, the regiment began to be called Separate Red Banner Order of the October Revolution by the Kremlin Regiment of the Commandant's Office of the Moscow Kremlin of the Main Directorate of Security of the Russian Federation .

In accordance with the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of March 20, 1993, the Separate Red Banner Order of the October Revolution Kremlin Regiment was transformed into the Red Banner Order of the October Revolution Presidential Regiment of the Commandant's Office of the Moscow Kremlin of the Main Directorate of Security of the Russian Federation.

Presidential Regiment - the history of appearance and our days

Service in the Presidential Regiment at all times was considered honorable, and at the same time not the easiest. Despite the fact that, for its intended purpose, this military unit is not supposed to be used directly in combat conditions (with the exception of absolutely unimaginable situations), the employees of the unit undergo not only enhanced drill, but also serious combat training, as expected.

The purpose of the division

The Red Banner Order of the October Revolution The Presidential Regiment of the Service of the Commandant of the Moscow Kremlin of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (this is the official name) primarily exists to solve the prescribed tasks of guarding and protecting the location of the country's president in the Moscow Kremlin, performing garrison and guard duty.

It goes without saying that not only the building of the Senate Palace itself, where the office of the head of state and representative premises are located, is subject to protection. The presidential regiment guards the entire Kremlin territory, being its permanent garrison. Unlike the philistine idea, the presidential unit also includes operational units (the so-called “Kremlin special forces”), the main purpose of which is to directly suppress and repel unauthorized entry into restricted areas and repel an armed attack on the Kremlin (although in reality the storming of the main power residence armed formations is hard to imagine). Guard service is carried out in the Kremlin in a constant mode around the clock. These combat missions are carried out by special. Operreserve battalion.

It is most prestigious to serve in the ceremonial units of a military unit - the companies of the Special Guard and the Cavalry Escort of Honor. Naturally, not everyone gets into these formations - recruits must meet exceptional requirements. However, increased "conditions" are presented for all, without exception, military personnel of the elite regiment. However, this was not always the case.

legendary past

The prototype of the most elite military unit was originally formed in 1918, when the domestic leadership moved from St. Petersburg to Moscow. In Petrograd, the administration and leadership of the young socialist state (including Lenin himself) were housed in the building of the former Smolny Institute. The guard service of the then residence of the head of the RSFSR was small, and the building itself, together with the courtyard, was actually a freely accessible place.

With the move of the leadership of the RSFSR to Moscow, everything changed. The Kremlin itself was a seriously fortified object, in fact, completely isolated from the rest of the city. Meanwhile, its area is almost 30 hectares, and at the time of the government's move to the territory of the Kremlin, it was possible to get at least 4 passages (passages). All this required special attention, supervision and protection.

Soon, a resolution was adopted to prohibit free access of citizens to the Kremlin wall and to organize the security of the entire complex. The obligation to serve here was entrusted to the consolidated company of Latvian riflemen, which at one time guarded Lenin (and some other members of the government) in Petrograd as well.

Exactly one month after the relocation of the government to the new capital, all Latvian riflemen were formed into a single Latvian rifle Soviet division ( commander- Joachim Vatsetis, and then the former royal lieutenant colonel and St. George Cavalier Pyotr Aven). It was precisely the 9th Latvian Rifle Regiment that became the basis of the first Kremlin commandant service. However, already at the very end of 1918, the Latvians (almost without exception) were sent to the German front.

The protection of the Kremlin complex was entrusted to the nearest military unit - the 1st Moscow machine-gun courses (before that they had a chance to serve in the nearby Krutitsky barracks). The courses were renamed several times, but until 1935 they continued to carry out guard duty in the Kremlin at the same time as training.

At the end of 1935, the military school was relocated from the Krutitsky barracks and the Kremlin to another district of the capital (Lefortovo), and a special special-purpose battalion (the so-called “bosNaz”) was formed to perform the Kremlin service. And it was no longer a purely military unit. It had nothing to do with the people's commissar of defense, but was subordinate to the department of internal affairs (headed by Genrikh Yagoda). Already in 1936, the battalion was enlarged into the Special Forces Regiment of the Kremlin Commandant's Office.

The servicemen of the special forces units not only carried out the Kremlin service - they were directly involved in the so-called Winter (Finnish) campaign, some servicemen (both soldiers and officers) were sent to the fronts of the battles with the Nazis as specialist snipers. On the territory of the capital during the war years, the regimental services also solved the tasks of air defense of the Kremlin buildings.

Starting from 1943 and until 1993, the Kremlin part was directly subordinate to the state security agencies (in different years they had different names). And only in 1991 (after the well-known events and the attempted coup by the State Committee for the State of Emergency) the news about the renaming of the military unit into the Kremlin Regiment of the Security Directorate under the Office of the President of the USSR was officially announced.

After the formal registration of the "end" of the Soviet state in 1992, the military unit received a new name: the Kremlin Regiment of the Commandant's Office of the Moscow Kremlin of the Main Directorate of Security of the Russian Federation (predecessor FSO). And a few months later, on March 20, 1993, the unit officially became Presidential.

The composition, deployment and tasks of the "Kremlin"

As of the end of 2017, the regiment was formed from four battalions and an honorary cavalry escort, which, in fact, is also a battalion formation. It has a presidential regiment of companies for various purposes and tasks of service in the amount of 14 units (as part of the mentioned battalions).

For the most part, the military unit, its leadership and headquarters unit are deployed on the territory of the Kremlin complex itself in the Arsenal building. Commands a unit major general Oleg Galkin, who has been serving here since 1979 (began as a platoon). Despite the formal subordination of the regiment FSO In Russia, General Galkin is not subordinate to the leadership of this structure - only directly to the President of the country.

The first two battalions of the elite regiment carry out the main tasks of carrying out everyday garrison and guard services. One of them is located on the territory of the Zavidovo complex (government reserve and hunting ground) in the Tver region and serves to protect this object. Another battalion (motorized rifle) is located in the village of Kalchuga, Odintsovo district, Moscow region (not far from Barvikha). The servicemen of this unit are called upon to carry out purely combat missions to strengthen the Kremlin garrison in a situation with the threat of an assault, a massive attack, and similar situations.

The third battalion is located in the barracks of the Arsenal and is engaged in carrying out special guard duty (guards of honor, the First Post at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the Alexander Garden, etc.). To serve in these units is probably the dream of any recruit.

The 3rd Battalion of the Presidential Regiment also has a special automobile company. It has nothing to do with the Special Purpose Garage (government limousines) and performs auxiliary functions - the transportation of personnel, military equipment, weapons and military equipment.

Honorary Horse Escort is stationed in the village. Kalininets near Alabino next to the Taman division. Its function is participation in protocol and demonstration events.

There is also an operational reserve battalion, which is actually a special forces formation for immediate combat response when necessary.

Service and life in the Kremlin garrison

Immediately after the conscripts take the military oath, they, like in any Russian military units, take the course of a young soldier, learning all the intricacies of military service.

The daily routine of the Kremlin soldiers is also not much different from any other combat units. Most of the time is occupied by combat, drill, physical and theoretical training and classes, carrying out garrison and guard services.

Soldiers and sergeants of different conscription live in different rooms (barracks). According to some reports, only in the author and the communications unit both calls live together, which. most likely due to their scarcity.

Three times a week, soldiers and sergeants of the Presidential Regiment visit the club that is available here, where a variety of events are organized: watching movies, meetings with veterans, scientists and artists, etc. Naturally, like any other military personnel in Russia, "conscripts" have the right for dismissal in city according to the established schedule (provided that they do not have violations of charters and discipline).

Food for soldiers and sergeants in the Presidential Regiment is carried out according to standard standards. True, there is one feature. Since recent times, military personnel have been taking food exclusively from individual porcelain dishes using cutlery (spoons, knives and forks). The command is trying to instill elementary etiquette skills.

The clothing allowance of the Kremlin military personnel differs from other soldiers, sergeants and officers only in the presence of a special full dress and ceremonial uniform (for those carrying special guard duty). everyday same dress is no different from the common one.

Conscription to the Presidential Regiment

Many pre-conscripts and conscripts are thinking about how to get into the service of the Presidential Regiment. This, of course, is not so simple. For future "Kremlin" there are certain additional standards.

The officers of the unit travel to the regions ahead of time, look closely and select candidates for service in the Kremlin. According to the unspoken regulations, it is almost impossible for residents of the capital region to “get settled” in the Presidential Regiment. In the companies of special guards, conscripts of exclusively Slavic appearance are recruited.

Strict requirements are also imposed on the physical condition of candidates:

  • height not less than 175 and not more than 190 cm;
  • weight proportional to height;
  • the absence of "special signs" in open areas of the body (large moles, tattoos, scars, etc.);
  • complete physical health (visual deviations up to 0.7 units are allowed).

Since service in the Presidential Regiment is actually a service in state security agencies, all candidates undergo a preliminary special check, which can take quite a long time.

At the end of military service, the best servicemen are offered to conclude a contract for further service. And this promises considerable prospects - not only a good financial allowance and living in the capital, but also the possibility of obtaining a higher military education, followed by military service in officer positions and in officer rank.

Post History #1

In the history of each country there are pages that will forever remain in the people's memory despite any changes and social upheavals in society. There are many such episodes in Russia, one of them is the death of the head of the first Soviet republic, Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars V.I. Lenin. Lifetime love for him was popular. Therefore, when on January 21, 1924 V.I. Lenin was gone, the country was seized by deep mourning.

During the days of mourning, the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks and the Soviet government received over a thousand telegrams and letters in which people asked to postpone the funeral and keep the body of V.I. Lenin. On January 25, the Soviet government adopted a resolution stating: “In order to meet the desire expressed by numerous delegations and appeals to the Central Executive Committee of the USSR, and in order to provide everyone who does not have time to arrive in Moscow by the day of the funeral, the opportunity to say goodbye to their beloved leader, The Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR decides:

  1. Keep the coffin with the body of Vladimir Ilyich in the crypt, making the latter accessible to the public.
  2. To build a crypt near the Kremlin wall, on Red Square, among the mass graves of the fighters of the October Revolution.

On the night of January 24, the architect AB. Shchusev received an urgent government assignment: by the time of Lenin's funeral, to design and build a temporary Mausoleum on Red Square, with a crypt for the leader's coffin. It was required that the tomb could let through many people who wanted to say goodbye to Lenin. In the morning, the preliminary design of the Mausoleum was ready, approved by the government commission, and the architect, having arrived at Red Square, made a breakdown of the plan for its construction near the Senate Tower of the Kremlin. Since the period was short, and the Mausoleum was designed to be temporary, it was built of wood.

The first wooden Mausoleum was very different from the current granite one. It was a dark gray cube topped with a small three-stage pyramid. The total height was about three meters. The facade was lined with black wooden bars LENIN. To the right and left of this cube, there are two identical wooden buildings, similar to booths, for the entrance and exit of visitors.


The day before Lenin's funeral, by order of the head of the Moscow garrison, a guard of honor was established at the Mausoleum of V.I. Lenin.

The first sentries to the post to the Mausoleum of V.I. Lenin was placed by the breeder Janos Meissaros. At 4 pm, cadets Grigory Koblov and Arseniy Kashkin stood near Lenin's coffin on a wooden platform on Red Square. When the coffin was lifted and slowly carried, they walked along the sides, and when they reached the Mausoleum, they put their feet, turned to each other and froze with rifles at the entrance.

On January 30, an order was issued at the military school, which indicated the order of companies and squadrons in carrying the guard of honor. The best cadets were assigned there - cavalrymen, machine gunners, infantrymen, artillerymen. Thus began the history of the guard of honor, which was popularly called "Post No. 1".

In September 1924, the first sentries G.P. Koblov, A.V. Kashkin and breeder Y. Meisarosh graduated from the Joint Military School. VTsIK. Before dispersing to regiments, the young red commanders came to the Mausoleum. Here they took an oath of allegiance to the cause of the revolution.

Arseniy Kashkin, the painter who graduated from the Kremlin school with honors, had many tempting job offers. But he chose the path of a combat commander. Altai, Central Asia, the fight against the Basmachi on the border, filled with constant anxieties and chases.

In the summer of 1930, he was seriously wounded in a battle with paint. I had to leave the military service. But A.V. did not give up. Kashkin. For decades he led state farms, brought lagging farms to the forefront. And then, when he was sent to work at the Kyrgyz Educational and Pedagogical Publishing House, he began to make good, colorful textbooks for children.

Grigory Koblov did not forget the oath given at the Mausoleum, neither in the Soviet divisions, where he served in the 1920s, nor abroad, where he carried out special assignments from the government. During the Great Patriotic War Moscow Saluted 15 times in honor of the courage and valor of the cavalry divisions commanded by the guards major general G.P. Koblov. The hero was wounded seven times. The first sentry has 11 orders and 13 medals.

The Hungarian Janos Meissaros carried this oath through the barracks of the Moscow Cavalry Brigade, where he served after graduation, through the steppes of Mongolia, through the headquarters of the Hungarian-fascist expeditionary corps, where during the Second World War he worked under the guise of a defector for more than two years. In February 1945, the first commander of the eternal guard participated in the liberation of his native Budapest.

On January 27, 1924, the best cadets of the Kremlin Joint Military School named after M.V. VTsIK.

After Lenin's funeral, more than 100,000 people visited the Mausoleum in a month and a half. Every day, huge masses of working people gathered on Red Square, wishing to go to the coffin of Lenin and say goodbye to him. However, it was not possible to let everyone through: the dimensions of the crypt were small, moreover, when people passed, the air in it heated up, which was dangerous for the preservation of the body.

Spring was coming. The warming made it impossible to further preserve Lenin's body. At the end of March, access to the Mausoleum was closed for scientists to try to carry out a new embalming.

Architect A.V. Shchusev received a new government assignment: to rebuild the Mausoleum, giving it a monumental architectural and artistic form. The mausoleum was supposed to keep the simplicity of outlines and the architecture to be combined with the Kremlin wall and Red Square. At the same time, he had to simultaneously perform the functions of a tomb and a tribune. Work began on the creation of the second wooden Mausoleum. Shchusev retained the stepped composition of the simple, laconic forms of the Mausoleum, increased its size and added a portico and stands. The tomb immediately became more monumental, more perfect, more majestic.

By May 1, 1924, most of the work was completed. The new tomb was surrounded by a hexagonal square with a low iron fence.

After the opening in August, the Mausoleum immediately became a place of universal worship, a place near which the most important events and celebrations of the country began to be held - demonstrations, rallies, military parades, etc. So, on November 7, 1924, in front of the Mausoleum of V.I. Lenin, the troops of the Moscow garrison, lined up for the parade, took the Red Oath.

And again, a guard of Kremlin cadets was posted near the entrance to the tomb. On the first anniversary of the death of V.I. Lenin, cadets, Red Army soldiers and commanders of other military schools and regiments of the Moscow garrison, along with the Kremlin, became guards of honor at the Mausoleum. The best of the best stood out there. Their names were announced in the order in parts, indicating the merits of each. Simultaneously with the military, workers and peasants were on duty at the sarcophagus. At this time, the ceremonial change of sentries at the Mausoleum was born, which bore the imprint of the harsh simplicity characteristic of that unforgettable time. It was simple and at the same time majestic.

By 1929, it became clear that the embalming of Lenin's body had been a brilliant success. Scientists have guaranteed the preservation of the body for long periods. The government decided to replace the wooden Mausoleum with a stone one. The previously announced international competition did not give positive results. Therefore, we decided to preserve the architecture of the Mausoleum, which has become familiar to the people. The government commission for the construction of a permanent mausoleum was headed by K.E. Voroshilov. The construction of the stone tomb was again entrusted to the author of the project, Academician A.V. Shchusev.

Reproducing the forms of the wooden Mausoleum in stone, the architect did not copy them mechanically. Preserving the architectural ensemble of Red Square, the architect created new forms, trying to make the tomb even more expressive. The third Mausoleum, dressed in granite and marble, still stands on Red Square.

Since 1935, the guard of honor at the Mausoleum of V.I. Lenin was carried by the soldiers of the Kremlin garrison.

After the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, when the enemy came very close to Moscow, one of the most important was the issue of protecting the Mausoleum from air bombardments and preserving the body of V.I. Lenin. During its study, a special commission made a proposal to evacuate the body of V.I. Lenin to a safer place. This idea was fully supported by V.I. Lenin professor B.I. Zbarsky and his colleagues. At the beginning of the war, such measures, for obvious reasons, were a great state secret. In accordance with the secret order of the NKGB of the USSR, on July 3, 1941, the body of V. I. Lenin was sent to the city of Tyumen in a special carriage of a special train. The train was guarded by employees of the NKGB and the commandant's office of the Moscow Kremlin. "Post No. 1" was transferred to a railway car. The sentries changed to the sound of wheels. For three years and nine months sentries guarded the body of V.I. Lenin in a distant city beyond the Urals, inaccessible to the Nazi bombers.

The anxious life of the fighting capital did not disturb the service of the guard of honor at the Mausoleum of V.I. Lenin. Day and night, in rain and cold, under a hail of fragments, as a symbol of the uncompromising steadfastness of a free people, the Kremlin soldiers performed their task in solemn silence. This permanent watch at the main post of the country strengthened the faith of the people in victory.

Instead of the Mausoleum, a three-story building appeared before the eyes of Muscovites. The tribunes to the left and right of him were covered with huge panels, painted "under the roof." The mausoleum stood disguised for more than four months. The “camouflage robe” was removed on the night of November 7, 1941, on the eve of the historic parade of the defenders of Moscow. After the parade, the Mausoleum was not disguised.

The relentless passage of time. Years passed, the country healed the wounds. A peaceful life was established. At the main post of the country, sentries were still clearly replaced.

A great shock for the Soviet people was the death of I.V. Stalin on March 5, 1953. It was decided to embalm his body, put it in a sarcophagus and place it in the Mausoleum on Red Square next to the sarcophagus of V.I. Lenin. Everything was done very quickly. Already by the day of the funeral, a new inscription LENIN STALIN could be seen above the entrance to the tomb.

A few years later, in the course of exposing Stalin's personality cult, it was deemed inappropriate to further preserve the sarcophagus with his coffin in the Mausoleum, and it was moved from the Mausoleum to the Kremlin wall.

If it were possible to collect more than eight thousand people who took under the protection of the main post of the country, then they would tell a lot. They would tell how jubilant crowds of demonstrators carried posters and slogans with bright figures of the labor victories of the first five-year plans past the Mausoleum, how the first Soviet cars, the first tractors moved along Red Square.

For the Soviet people, it was the law before great achievements to come to the Mausoleum and take an oath to the leader. Stratonauts came here before rushing into mysterious heights. Here were the Papaninians, the fearless heroic polar explorers. BUT autumn 1941 when Moscow listened to the rattle of tanks and the fascist hordes frantically rushed to the gates of the capital, to Red Square, to Lenin, soldiers and commanders of the Red Army came in close, steel ranks. From here they marched straight to the front to smash the sworn enemy. And here, in the victorious 1945, they brought the defeated standards of the defeated Nazi units, throwing them at the foot of the Mausoleum.

Veterans of the regiment remember what a decoration of the parades on Red Square was the prancing cavalry. Powerful Soviet tanks, all-terrain armored personnel carriers, powerful howitzers, guards mortars, all-destroying missiles - ballistic, intercontinental ...

Before each flight into space, cosmonauts came to the Mausoleum - they walked past the tomb of Lenin and silently swore an oath to the end to fulfill their scientific duty, not to flinch before the tests that the starry ocean would prepare for them.

Here, on Red Square, to Lenin's Mausoleum, people came and still come...

The ceremonial of the change of sentries at the Mausoleum is beautiful and solemn.

Every warrior dreamed of serving near the Mausoleum. The future sentries of Post No. 1 came to V.I. Lenin, got acquainted with his life and work. Then began the painstaking and intense preparation. Daily grueling training: the soldiers worked out a special Kremlin drill step, rifle techniques, and coordination of movements. It was necessary to learn how to correctly and, most importantly, to approach the post on time and make a shift. For this, a special wooden model of the Mausoleum's portal was made. The soldiers achieved impeccable clarity. Even the “Post Competition No. 1” was established, in which five pairs of the best sentries took part every year.

Among the former sentries of "Post No. 1" there are many people who later became famous. Who knows, maybe it was the service at the main post of the country that made them so. These are well-known military, state and political figures of our country, leaders of production and agriculture, representatives of science, culture and art. In the 20-30s, the Heroes of the Soviet Union served at the Mausoleum twice: the defender of Madrid and Stalingrad, Colonel General A.I. Rodimtsev, commanders of the famous guards brigades that fought to Budapest and Berlin, colonels S.F. Shutov and A.A. Golovachev. These are the Heroes of the Soviet Union: Colonel General A.F. Shcheglov, V.V. Butkov and I.A. Kuzovkov, Major General E.G. Koberidze, V.A. Borisov, L.D. Churilov and others.

Private M.K. Voskresensky took over the post to the Mausoleum of V.I. Lenin in the 60s. He finished military service, became an officer, but did not imagine that he would once again have to return to serve on Red Square. Colonel Voskresensky became the commandant of the Commandant's Office of the Mausoleum V.I. Lenin.

The pioneer of the 70s, Viktor Efimov, after the service, became a junior sergeant of the state traffic inspectorate of the Kievsky district of Moscow. Tempering, acquired within the walls of the Kremlin, came in handy in a new place. The Kremlin man did not flinch when, during the period of service, he had to fight with the criminal. For his courage and heroism, he was presented to medals"For Military Merit". In addition, V. Efimov was awarded the rank of junior lieutenant.

I.A. Makevnin served in the Kremlin regiment in 1978-1980. He has 86 guards at Post No. 1 to his credit. After serving in the army, he returned to his native Ulyanovsk. For several years he headed the Ulyanovsk City Duma, now he is the general director of a large plant. And now his place in the ranks, in the same company of the Presidential Regiment, has been taken by his son Kirill, who also serves at "Post No. 1" - at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Colonels G.A. Gusev and M.V. Bystrov, from the generation of pioneers of the 70s, occupy high positions in the departments of the Federal Security Service of Russia. I.N. worked in the system of state security organs. Ternyuk, A.V. Kwiatkovsky. P.V. Makhinya, after serving in the 1st company of the Kremlin Regiment, worked in the territorial bodies of state security, and currently he is in a leadership position in the Administration of the Voronezh Region. And this list can go on and on. The constellation of names is the constellation of heroic deeds, legendary deeds.

In the 60s, the tradition of periodically setting up double posts near the Mausoleum of V.I. was revived on solemn occasions. Lenin. Next to the Kremlin soldiers were veterans of the unit who graduated from the military school. All-Russian Central Executive Committee and those who came to traditional training camps from all over the country. Every year, on April 22, the honorary watch was carried by the former fighters of the personal guard V.I. Lenin, gray-haired veterans. When Pioneers or Komsomol members celebrated the anniversaries of their organizations on Red Square, the best schoolchildren and workers, students and collective farmers became guards of honor at the Mausoleum.

In 1974, exactly 50 years later, under the second strike of the chimes of the Spasskaya Tower, the first sentries of the historical guard, retired General G.P. Koblov and former painter of the border guard A.V. Kashkin.

On July 6, 1976, in accordance with the order of the Chairman of the KGB under the Council of Ministers of the USSR, on the basis of platoons serving at the post at the Mausoleum V.I. Lenin and organizationally included in various companies of the regiment, a special guard company was created. This was done in order to purposefully and efficiently prepare soldiers and sergeants for service at Post No. 1, to more reliably guard the Mausoleum of V.I. Lenin in clock access for visitors and improve the preparation of the front line for the service on Red Square.

Ceremonial post near the Mausoleum of V.I. Lenin was removed after the well-known events in early October 1993, when the shots died down near the building of the government of the USSR. The last watch at the main post of the country was carried by Private R.I. Poletaev and corporal V.V. Dedkov. Since October 6, sentries have not been posted at Post No. 1.

There were heavy losses during the battle for Moscow in 1941. One of the well-known episodes of this battle is associated with the Kryukovo station area, 40 km from Moscow. In this place close to the capital, the fascist troops sought to break through the defenses. On their way stood the soldiers of the Guards Division I.V. Panfilova, cavalrymen of the corps of General L.M. Dovator and tankers of the brigade of General M.E. Katukov. For several days they held back the Nazis, but the forces were unequal, and the Soviet troops were forced to retreat even closer to Moscow ...

However, the Nazis never managed to enter our capital. On December 6, the troops of the Western Front launched a counteroffensive, and after a few days the enemy troops fled, leaving tens of thousands of dead and wounded on the battlefield. Our losses were also considerable. Known and unknown heroes found eternal rest in the land near Moscow.

In December 1966, when the 25th anniversary of the defeat of the Nazi troops near Moscow was celebrated, the remains of the Unknown Soldier, who died defending the capital in December 1941, were buried in the Alexander Garden near the Kremlin wall. The ashes were transferred from a huge mass grave at the 41st kilometer Leningradskoye Highway, the place where the fate of Moscow was decided. This event was preceded by a decision, taken on the eve of the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, to erect a monument to the Unknown Soldier in Moscow. As a result of the competition, preference was given to the project of architects D.I. Burdin and V.A. Klimov, who proposed to erect a monument that would personify the eternal memory of the descendants of the soldiers who gave their lives for our Motherland.

/images/stories/historypost1/


In January 1967, the erection of the monument began. Before that, the architects visited Brazil, France, looked at photographs of similar monuments built in Italy, Finland and other countries.

The opening of the monument to the Unknown Soldier in Moscow took place on May 8, 1967. A beautifully decorated granite alley leads to the grave, which is located between the Arsenal corner tower and the grotto. To the left of it is a granite wall, on which is engraved: "1941 - To those who fell for the Motherland -1945"; on the right, along the Kremlin wall - a granite alley, where dark red porphyry blocks are located with capsules immured in them with the earth of hero cities: Leningrad (taken from the Piskarevsky cemetery), Kyiv (from the foot of the Obelisk to the participants in the defense of the city), Stalingrad (from Mamaev Kurgan )2, Odessa (from the defense lines), Sevastopol (from the Malakhov Kurgan), Minsk, Kerch, Novorossiysk, Tula (the land was taken from the advanced defense lines of these cities) and the hero-fortress Brest (the land from the foot of the walls).

In the center of the memorial is a red granite platform, in the middle of which, in a depression on black marble slabs, is a large bronze star. In the middle of the star burns the Eternal Flame of Glory. The torch for the memorial at the Kremlin wall was lit from the Eternal Flame on the Field of Mars in Leningrad and delivered by the soldiers of the Taman Guards Division. On the granite slab of the gravestone, rising behind the Eternal Flame, there is a bronze composition - a soldier's helmet and a laurel branch lying on the battle banner, installed in 1975. On the plate is the inscription - "Your name is unknown, your feat is immortal."

There was no permanent guard post at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Sentinels were exhibited only for the period of solemn and commemorative events, the laying of wreaths. Nevertheless, for the soldiers of the regiment, service here was akin to service near the Mausoleum of V.I. Lenin. The Kremlin servicemen will never forget June 19, 1970, when the young soldiers of the unit took the military oath at the Eternal Flame.

A significant event in the life of the regiment and especially its 1st company was the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of December 8, 1997. In accordance with it, from December 12, 1997, a permanent guard of honor from the Presidential Guard was established at the Eternal Flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier a shelf. The decree determined that the changing of the guard at the post would take place daily every hour from 8 to 20 hours, in exceptional cases and at other times.

For the guard of honor, the order of service and the ritual of changing sentries were approved, and a new military uniform was developed. In addition, the posts were appropriately equipped and equipped with the necessary technical means and communications.

The first guard of honor at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier was led by commander 1st company captain V.S. Kaminsky. December 12 at 8 o'clock in the morning staff Sergeant M.P. Volgunov led the first shift to the main post of the country, consisting of corporal R.V. Chernoburov and Corporal A.S. Gorbashkov.

The ritual of changing sentries at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier is beautiful and solemn. Particularly impressive is the unique “Kremlin step” worked out to perfection: “from an elongated toe to the ground -20 cm. The movement of a straight leg at the knee comes from the hip. At the same time, both the right and left soles of the soldier should fall on the same line. This is a very difficult step. It has remained since Nikolaev times. And, of course, one admires the synchronicity of the actions of the participants in the changing of the guard. It looks like twins are coming. By the way, there are indeed quite a few twins in the Presidential Regiment.


Service in the main post is honorable, but also difficult. Neither the sweltering heat nor the bone-piercing frost can change the usual picture - sentries frozen at the post. The seeming stiffness, even the stiffness of the soldiers, a certain detachment from the outside world is very deceptive. This is just an appearance. The leaders are very attentive and watchful. There are times when drunken citizens try to test the vigilance and stamina of the guard by throwing snowballs, empty cans and bottles at sentries. There are also attacks on the post. Do not hesitate - the rebuff will be guaranteed and adequate.

Yes, here at the Eternal Flame, at Post No. 1, there are the best of the best, the elite of the army, its face, the face of the whole country. In appearance they are strict and majestic. But these are ordinary guys serving in the very heart of Russia. What do they think about, standing at the post, at the grave of the deceased nameless hero of the Great War, which they know only by hearsay?

At the grave of the Unknown Soldier there are always flowers, they are brought here by old and young, official delegations, newlyweds. In recent years, a tradition has been born: in the early morning on Victory Day, veterans of the Patriotic War and young people gather here for a memorial watch with lit candles in their hands. Every year on May 9, celebrating the Victory Day, the whole country honors the memory of the dead with a Minute of Silence, which is counted against the backdrop of the Eternal Flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier near the Kremlin wall of Moscow.

A chevron is sewn on the left sleeve, indicating belonging to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, and on the right sleeve, a chevron, indicating the service of a police officer. You can add chevrons with Velcro. In addition, shoulder straps with buttons are sewn onto this tunic, and two lavalier emblems are also strengthened. How to sew on a shoulder strap? To do this, in addition to the tunic itself and shoulder straps, you will need a ruler, scissors, a needle, a thimble and strong red threads. Be sure to wear a thimble, even if you are used to sewing without it, as sometimes the needle passes through shoulder straps with great difficulty, and you can injure your fingers. If you find it difficult to pull the needle and thread out of the shoulder strap, then you can use pliers or tweezers. 1) First of all, prepare the shoulder strap, i.e. fasten all the required insignia on it, since it will be much more difficult to do this on an already sewn pursuit. 2) Take the shoulder strap and position it so that the side farthest from the button is close to the seam that connects the shoulder of the tunic to the sleeve. At the same time, the upper, directed towards the back, edge of the shoulder strap should go 1 cm from above to the seam running along the shoulder. In other words, the shoulder strap should be slightly shifted forward. 3) Thread the needle into the needle and fasten the shoulder strap to the tunic at three points: at the corners of the shoulder strap, at the place where it comes into contact with the sleeve seam and in the center of the semicircular cut. Now the shoulder strap will be securely fastened and will not move from the correct position during the sewing process. 4) Then we sew the shoulder strap very carefully around the perimeter, making stitches in such a way that only barely visible points remain on its surface in those places where the needle enters the shoulder strap, and the thread between two adjacent holes passes mainly from the wrong side (along the gasket) of the tunic . Then the thread will not be noticeable even if it does not quite match the color of the shoulder straps in color. In this case, the optimal length of each stitch should be about 1 cm. 5) With the second shoulder strap, follow the same pattern. How to strengthen lapel emblems? On the collar of the tunic - along the bisector (the line dividing the corner of the collar in half), at a distance of 25 mm from the corner of the collar to the center of the emblem, the vertical axis of symmetry of the emblem should be parallel to the collar. How to place awards on the police jacket? On the left side of the chest, the awards are arranged in the following order: Badges of special distinction are placed so that the upper edge of the medal block is at the level of the ledge of the lapel of the tunic and jacket. When wearing two or more insignia of special distinction, they are arranged separately in one row, from right to left with intervals of 10 mm between the lateral ends of the stars in the order listed. Badges of special distinction of the same name are arranged in the order in which they are awarded. Signs of orders, orders and medals are arranged horizontally in a row from the center of the chest to the edge, from top to bottom in the order listed. When wearing two or more orders or medals, their blocks are connected in a row on a common bar. Orders and medals that do not fit in one row are transferred to the second and subsequent rows located below the first, placing them also from the center of the chest to the edge in the above order. Blocks of orders and medals of the second row should go under the orders and medals of the first row, while the upper edge of the blocks of the lower row is placed 35 mm below the block of the first row. Subsequent rows are arranged in the same order. Signs of orders, orders and medals are located on the single-breasted police tunic so that the upper edge of the block of orders and medals of the first row is 90 mm below the level of the lapel ledge. On the right side of the chest, the awards are arranged in the following order: Orders are arranged from left to right in the order listed. The upper edge of the largest order of the first row is located at the level established for the common bar (block) of the first row of orders and medals placed on the left side of the chest. Orders that do not fit in one row are transferred to the second and subsequent rows located below the first, placing them also from the center of the chest to the edge in the indicated order. The centers of the orders in a row must be at the same level. The distance between orders and rows of orders is 10 mm.

Vakhnyuk) Once running home, we buried our faces in a windbreaker hanging on a hanger and inhaled the smell of a fire. In windbreakers we went on any trips and at any time of the year. They were not bitten by mosquitoes, they were not blown through, they did not melt from fire sparks. True, they froze, dried slowly and were heavy. Now that there are many lightweight modern jackets, a real canvas windbreaker can be seen quite rarely. But even now it is better not to find anything for the forest and the fire. Synthetics do not like fire. And if you do not want your favorite fleece jacket to be in a small (or large) hole, it's time to think about tarpaulin. The retro style jacket is made of high quality tarpaulin. It is very durable and breathes well. And generally pleasant and loved, like Vizbor's songs on a reel-to-reel tape recorder. The hood, adjustable on an oval of the face, elastic bands on sleeves and an inhaling on a bottom of a jacket protect from mosquitoes and wind. Matches, a compass, a map and other necessary items can easily fit in four large pockets. If you like to meet sunrises on a steep shore, wander through the summer tundra, pick cloudberries and cranberries in the swamps, sing around a campfire in the evenings - this windbreaker is for you.
