On the territory of the Semenovsky town, next to the parade ground, the Life Guards Jaeger Regiment was quartered (until 1806 - a battalion). It was created in 1796 by Paul, who ascended the throne, and was formed from the Gatchina company of rangers and the rangers' teams of the Semyonovsky and Izmailovsky regiments. Huntsman in German means hunter, shooter. Jaegers were then called light infantry units, which were recruited from skilled shooters operating in loose formation.

Initially, a site was allocated for rangers on the eastern side of the parade ground in the seventh company, between the Semenov barracks and the forage yard (now Zvenigorodskaya 5). The barracks were built in 1796-1800 by F.I. Volkov and F.I. Demertsov. Since then, the barracks have not changed at all. These are the so-called Starayager barracks, they belonged to the regiment until 1917.

The regiment met the beginning of the 19th century under the leadership of Bagration. The Jaeger Regiment near Austerlitz and Friedland distinguished itself especially. Bagration's ice campaign across the Gulf of Bothnia during the Russo-Swedish War of 1808-1809 served as an example of courage.

During the Patriotic War, the huntsmen proved to be very combat-ready when General de Saint-Prix, one of the heroes of 1812, commanded the regiment. There is such a question for schoolchildren - which Frenchman is in the Gallery of 1812? So this is the commander of the rangers de Saint-Prix, a very enlightened man who left a good mark on our history.

Jaegers were usually recruited undersized, they began the vanguard battle, scattering in front of heavy infantry battalions and conducting aimed fire from behind shelters. "Grenadiers and musketeers tear with bayonets," said Suvorov, "but the huntsmen shoot." At the same time, the author of "The Science of Victory" demanded "to make fire" not according to the Prussian model "at thirty paces", but according to Russian dexterity - with "the speed of the charge and the integrity of the stock." During the Napoleonic campaigns, there were already fifty army and two guards regiments of chasseurs. The latter heroically distinguished themselves in the battle of Kulm, for which they were awarded the St. George banner, and the day of the battle - July 17, 1813 - became a regimental holiday.

Later, in 1815, on the opposite side of the parade ground in the fifth company of the Semenovsky regiment, new soldier's (novoegersky) barracks of the Jaeger regiment were built (Ruzovskaya 14, 16, 18). These barracks have also been preserved in their original form.

At first, the Jaeger Regiment, as a young guard, was little respected, but starting from Saint-Prix, it gained great respect in society. Among the regiment commanders were Count Shuvalov, Prince Baryatinsky.

Full dress uniform of a Private Life Guards Jaeger Regiment 1817-1828:

That is, in such a form in 1819, an ordinary regiment of Baratynsky marched.

"Where the Semyonovsky regiment is, in the fifth company, in a low house." This wooden house has not been preserved; it stood in this courtyard:

The regiment was favored by Nicholas I. At his own expense, he ordered to build a huge temple for the rangers on the occasion of the half-century anniversary of the regiment. It was consecrated on the day of the regimental holiday in honor of Hieromartyr Mironiy, whose memorial day is also celebrated on July 17. The site of the church is now an abandoned wasteland, but the barracks are surprisingly well preserved. The church was built by the architect Ton, who also built the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow.

Around the same time, Academician Ton built a church for the Semyonovsky regiment. In 1934, the Mironevskaya church, as well as the church of the Semenovsky regiment, was destroyed as of little artistic value.

The monument to Bagration (1) was placed in the middle between the Old Gers (2) and Novogers (3) barracks.

In 1977, mom, dad and I were in Simakh. The Golitsyn estate was dilapidated, there were the ruins of the church. Local peasants pulled them into bricks. We left for Yuryev-Polsky. Next to the unique temple there was a garbage dump, and the temple itself was in need of repair.
In 1990, I was on a business trip at a cement plant in Volkovysk. With great difficulty I found the Bagration Museum. Literally a stone's throw from the museum, none of the locals could tell which way to go. The museum turned out to be very good. In 1812, the headquarters of the 2nd Western Army under the command of P.I. Bagration was located in Volkovysk. Later, in 1944, one of the largest military operations in the history of mankind was named Operation Bagration.
And of course, many thanks to the Georgian diaspora, not only for a good monument, but also for the fact that with great difficulty they managed to agree on exactly this place, which Rubin claimed (all submarines are designed by this organization). Back in July, it was not known for sure whether a monument would be erected here or not.

Life Guards Chasseurs of His Majesty's Regiment.

"Huntsman" in German means "hunter, shooter." In the Prussian army, huntsmen (they were recruited from the sons of foresters and hunters) proved their effectiveness in the Seven Years' War. For operations on rough terrain, not orderly close ranks were needed, but small detachments of dexterous and well-aimed shooters capable of acting one by one. In the Russian army, on the model of the European ones, branches of light rifle infantry were created. “Grenadiers and musketeers tear with bayonets,” said Suvorov, “and the huntsmen shoot.”

The Life Guards Jaeger Battalion was formed in 1796 from the Jaeger teams of the regiments of the Life Guards. Semyonovsky and Izmailovsky and from the Jaeger company of the Gatchina troops. In 1806, the Jaeger Regiment was reorganized into the Life Guards. In 1856 the regiment was renamed the Life Guards. Gatchinsky, but in 1871 the former name was returned to it.

The "Petersburg apartments" of the Jaeger Guards Regiment were located near the Semyonovsky parade ground for a hundred years. In the capital, the Jaeger Regiment first occupied the Semyonov barracks for Zvenigorodskaya street(later called “old yegersky”), and then moved to the “new yegersky” barracks specially built for him at Ruzovskaya, 14, 16, 18. I. At his own expense, he ordered the construction of a regimental temple for the rangers.

Jaeger Life Guards Regiment

The Life Guards Jaeger Regiment traces its history back to a light infantry company called Jaeger, formed in 1792 by Tsarevich Pavel Petrovich as part of the Gatchina troops, which was disbanded at the end of 1793 and reassembled in 1794. Major Anton Mikhailovich Rachinsky was appointed its commander. Huntsman in German means "hunter, shooter." In the Prussian army, huntsmen (they were recruited from the sons of foresters and hunters) proved their effectiveness in the Seven Years' War. For operations on rough terrain, not orderly close ranks were needed, but small detachments of dexterous and well-aimed shooters capable of acting one by one. In the Russian army, on the model of the European ones, branches of light rifle infantry were created. “Grenadiers and musketeers tear with bayonets,” said Suvorov, “and the huntsmen shoot.”

The uniform of the rangers differed from other Gatchina troops in a green camisole. By the highest order of November 9, 1796, all Gatchina troops received the rights of the old guard, and the Jaeger teams that existed in the Life Guards Semyonovsky and Izmailovsky regiments, together with the Jaeger company of the Gatchina troops, formed the Life Guards Jaeger battalion of 3 companies. Since that time (November 9, 1796), the Life Guards Jaeger Regiment has seniority. The first commander of the Life Guards of the Jaeger Battalion was the same Rachinsky; in 1800, Prince P.I. Bagration took his place. In 1802, the Jaeger Battalion was increased by one company.

The first battle of the huntsmen was the Battle of Austerlitz. On May 10, 1806, the Life Guards Jaeger Battalion doubled in its composition and became known as the Life Guards Jaeger Regiment. On May 16, 1807, the Life Guards Jaeger Regiment was ordered to form the 3rd Battalion. In 1809, Colonel K. I. Bistrom was appointed commander of the guards rangers. In 1828, due to the damage received on September 10, 1828 near Varna during the attack of the Turks, the second battalion was re-formed from units separated from the 13th and 14th chasseur regiments. In 1835, during the consecration of the monument on the fields of Kulm, Emperor Nicholas I, wishing to emphasize the special merits of the Life Guards of the Jaeger Regiment on this day, ordered the rangers to celebrate their regimental holiday on August 17, the day of the Great Martyr Myron. In 1855, the Life Guards Jaeger Regiment was renamed the Life Guards Gatchinsky, but on August 17, 1870, on the day of the regimental holiday, its former name was returned to the regiment.

Badge of the Life Guards Jaeger Regiment

The winter "Petersburg apartments" of the Jaeger Guards Regiment were located near the Semyonovsky parade ground for a hundred years. In the capital, the Jaeger Regiment first occupied the Semyonov barracks on Zvenigorodskaya Street (later called the “Old Yeger” barracks), and then moved to the “New Yeger” barracks specially built for it on Ruzovskaya, houses No. 14, 16, 18.

Since the huntsmen were distinguished by loyal upbringing and liberal ideas were almost not spread among the officers, the regiment was favored by Nicholas I. At his own expense, he ordered the construction of a regimental church for the huntsmen in the name of the holy martyr Myronius between the barracks and the Obvodny Canal, at the confluence of the Obvodny and Vvedensky canals. It was built in 1849-1854 according to the project of A. K. Ton in memory of the victory of the combined forces of the Russian and Prussian armies over Napoleon near the city of Kulm on August 17, 1813.

The Life Guards Jaeger Regiment had insignia:

St. George's regimental banner with the inscriptions "For distinction in the defeat and expulsion of the enemy from Russia in 1812" (the first inscription was granted on April 13, 1813) and "1796-1896" (with St. Andrew's anniversary ribbon). The highest order and letter of November 9, 1896.

Two St. George trumpets with the inscription: "For the distinction shown in the battle of Kulm on August 17, 1813" (granted to the regiment on August 26, 1813);

Signs on headdresses with the inscription: "For Telish on October 12, 1877" (granted to the regiment on September 30, 1878 instead of signs with the inscription "For distinction in the Turkish war of 1877 and 1878", granted by the Highest Order on April 17, 1878).
