We know about heroes Soviet Union and full cavaliers of the Order of Glory, about wars that covered themselves with glory on the fields of the Great Patriotic War, but we know little about the heroes of past battles. The relevance of the work lies in the fact that so far there have been no publications complete list Vologda residents - cavaliers of this military order, were identified individual Vologda residents - participants in the First World War. In fact, already in the 18th century, Vologda residents received this order. They received it both in the Russian-Turkish war and in the Russian-Japanese war. The novelty of the work lies in the fact that for the first time the names of the Cavaliers of St. George will be presented - not only Vologda residents, but also those who had their possessions in the Vologda province or lived in Vologda or in the province for some time. For the first time, the Knights of St. George, who received this order in the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries, will also be presented. The purpose of the work is to identify Vologda residents or owners of estates in the Vologda province, awarded the Order of St. George. By January 2007, i.e. six months after the start of our work to identify the heroes of interest to us, we identified 67 Knights of St. George- Vologda residents and persons associated with the Vologda Territory. The latter include those who lived for a long time on the territory of the region, who died in Vologda, had possessions in the region and therefore entered alphabetical list noblemen of the Vologda province, who studied in the Vologda educational institutions. Analyzing the list of heroes according to the wars in which they participated (see Appendix 5.1.1), and the list is compiled only for those battles for which they received St. George awards, we can say that most of the St. George Knights are participants in World War I. Of these, only four officers, the rest are soldiers of various branches of the military, recruited from the large peasant population of the Vologda and adjacent provinces. Our list begins with the participants of the Seven Years' War, For example, with P. A. Rumyaniev-Zadunaisky. The heroes of the Patriotic War of 1812 and foreign campaigns of the Russian army of 1813-1814 continued the list. (I. S. Vorontsov and A. I. Gorchakov). Among the participants in the Crimean War, only four privates have so far been identified - natives of the Veliky Ustyug district, preliminary information about which we received from the Museum of Veliky Ustyug. The participants of the Russian-Turkish war were the famous battle painter V. V. Vereshchagin and famous writer V. A. Gilyarovsky. We know this interesting fact that some Vologda soldiers received St. George's crosses from the hands of Emperor Nicholas II himself. When it was the turn of Mikhail Ivanov to receive the award, Nicholas II asked: “Tell me, Ivanov, why did you fight with the officer?” It had to happen - when the documents for the award were already drawn up, Ivanov hit the officer who offended him., And the issue of awarding was decided on the highest level- the Emperor himself. The most interesting information is connected with Vologda women - St. George Knights. Usually women received orders as sisters of mercy, but our women served as real soldiers. And Alexandra Vasilievna Panicheva even changed into men's clothes and pretended to be Alexander Vasilyevich Panichev. On the night of January 12-13, 1915, Russian troops received an order to go on the offensive and take the enemy heights. The first, showing unusual courage and captivating others with his example, was the young soldier Panichev. After taking the trenches, the orderlies found the body of the hero on the battlefield, and in preparation for the funeral, they discovered that the soldier was not a man, but a woman, a Vologda peasant woman. In the newspapers for 1915 they wrote: “Let the bright name of Panicheva and others like her burn with a bright light in front of the defenders of our Motherland and inspire them to a feat of arms.” tragic fate ended up with the full St. George Cavalier Maria Leonidovna Bochkareva, who served in the 28th Polotsk Infantry Regiment under the name "Yashka". She went on reconnaissance, pulled the wounded out from under fire, participated in bayonet attacks and at the same time learned to read and write. In 1917, she led the women's "battalion of death", which was first sent to the front, and then, in October, became the last defender of the Winter Palace. For this, Bochkareva was sentenced to (execution, but the chairman of the commission of inquiry, Petrukhin, recognized her and saved her. A year later, Bochkareva goes to America to ask for help to fight the Bolsheviks, meets with President Woodrow Wilson. In 1919, she meets with Admiral Kolchak and forms on his behalf on May 15, 1920, Maria was shot in Tomsk. This work is only the beginning of a large and laborious work to find Vologda residents who received the highest military order. The listed names in the list are only the tip of the iceberg, the underwater part has not yet been fully explored. We more than sixty Knights of St. George have already been identified - natives of the Vologda region or associated with it, and in fact the book "Outstanding Vologda residents" spoke only about 14 Vologda residents. They took part in various wars, starting with the Seven Years' War and ending with World War I. Most of all cavaliers were identified - soldiers who received the St. George Cross during World War I. Among these cavaliers, 12 people of the lower ranks were the owners of all four St. George crosses, which indicates great courage, desperation, devotion to the Motherland of these glorious heroes.

The Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905 was inevitable because geopolitical interests changed dramatically at the end of the 19th century Russian Empire. At that time, major world states had not yet learned how to resolve serious issues of geopolitics without the use of force and, accordingly, human casualties.

Causes of the Russo-Japanese War

1. Strengthening friendly relations between Russia and China. As you know, until the 90s of the 19th century, the main emphasis foreign policy Russia was in the Balkans, but since 1894, the strengthening of friendship with China begins. Russia provided this state with diplomatic and military assistance in the war with Japan.
2. Russia and Japan in terms of influence in the Far East and Manchuria.

Strategic mistakes and military victories

Initially, it was clear that she was not ready for a long war. But the Russian generals believed that the Asians would negotiate with the European countries and organize a war on two fronts. This turned out to be a strategic mistake of the Russian military and diplomats. Also, the Russians, assuming the general backwardness of the forces of Japan (by the way, also a mistake), thought that on Western front much more forces will be needed than in the East. Russia's plan was to wage an exhausting protracted war, in which, in the 7-8th month, victory at sea would be achieved and troops would land on the islands. As a result, the plan of the Japanese worked, the main idea of ​​which was an instant strike on the Pacific squadron and the seizure of dominance at sea.

The balance of power at sea

Russia and Japan, a few years before the start of the war, had already begun to strengthen their fleets. Russia already had experience in which showed the importance of success at sea. Assuming the inevitability of a war in the east with Japan, the military commanders determined the main task - to strengthen the Pacific Flotilla.

So, consider the state of the fleets of countries. Total number ships of the Russian Empire in the east in 1904 was 64. Of these, destroyers - 35, there were also cruisers, battleships, large boats. The Japanese fleet outnumbered the Russian one. Only 47 destroyers were put into operation. The total number of the Japanese Navy was 87 units. As we can see, they outnumbered the Russian squadron by 23 ships. Perhaps the Russians were confident in their technical superiority, but that didn't work either. Japanese ships were faster, fired better and were more protected from enemy shots.

The beginning of the war

Surprise is one of the important elements of success in war. The Japanese army, namely the forces of the fleet, January 27 in two directions at once. Note that both battles ended successfully for the Japanese, although their fleet also lost some strength. The first Japanese attack was at night. The Asiatic squadron consisted of 25 ships of three types: battleships, cruisers, and destroyers. As a result of the shelling, the Russian battleships "Tsesarevich" and "Ratzivan", as well as the cruiser "Pallada" were damaged. Out of surprise, the Russian troops really could not repulse this sortie of the Japanese.

The second attack took place already in the morning of the same day, as a result of which another 5 Russian ships went out of action. It cannot be said that the damage to the fleet of the empire was fatal, but quite tangible, because the repair of ships was poorly organized.

Where was the second battle of that day? The now famous Korean Incheon was called Chemulpo at that time. At the beginning of 1904, 2 Russian ships stood in the roadstead in this port: the Varyag and the Koreets. The Japanese attacked the Russians with 14 ships. It is clear that the fate of the Russian ships was determined, but the Japanese could not defeat them quickly in any case. The commander of the "Varyag" Rudnev believed that we should try to escape from the claws of the Japanese and reach the port of Artur. A battle ensued at sea. Damage to the Varyag prevented the idea of ​​leaving Korea from being realized, but 3 Japanese ships were also neutralized. It should be noted that the Russian sailors did not die and after some time were able to get to their homeland.

Death of Makarov

The leadership of the Russian army understood that the Pacific Fleet at the time of the outbreak of the war could not stand the test of hostilities. To establish military training, the well-known Vice Admiral Makarov was appointed to command the fleet. This man had significant combat experience, so he had to effectively cope with the tasks.

During the month of his activity, the Russian fleet was transformed. Makarov significantly raised the level of military training, raised the organization of the fleet. The intensity of the exercises also increased, which made it possible to increase the number and success of ships going to sea. Of course, the Japanese did not sit idly by, watching the qualitative changes in the Russian fleet. All exits from Port Arthur were constantly mined. On March 31, 1904, the cruiser Petropavlovsk, on board of which Makarov was also sailing, was blown up by a mine. All people on board were killed.

Second phase of the war

The victory of the Japanese Navy made it possible for the island state to transfer significant landing forces to the Liaodong Peninsula. By the way, this operation was thought out and organized in advance, because secretly, little by little, the Japanese penetrated into Korea since the autumn of 1903. Of course, the Japanese army did not conduct open aggression. We are talking about people from the reserve, who were merchants, artisans, etc. The main task of these forces was to prepare the conditions for the success of the landing operation, to collect intelligence.

From January 24 to March 3, more than 35,000 Japanese landed on the Korean coast. It is important for us to understand the alignment of Russian forces. The total strength of the army in Asia amounted to 123 thousand people. Of these, approximately 24 thousand were in the Primorsky Territory. There were about 30 thousand on the Kwantung Peninsula. The Russians guarded the border with Korea with 19,000 troops. Northeast China was a strategically important territory for tsarism. There were more than 50 thousand soldiers of the tsarist army here. The land army was commanded by General A. N. Kuropatkin.

The Russian grouping on the border with Korea acted passively. Sluggishness led the Japanese to attack and defeat the 7,000-strong Russian corral. As a result of the battle, the Russian army lost more than 30 guns, about 3 thousand soldiers were killed, and had to retreat 70 kilometers. The Liaoyang battle began unsuccessfully for the empire.

Jinzhou: another defeat of the tsarist army

Yes, the Russians were sure of their superiority on land, but they were wrong about that too. Another Japanese landing force landed on April 22, 1904. The number of this group was also approximately 35 thousand. The maneuver of the Japanese consisted in the fact that they did not engage in battle with the army commanded by A.N. Kuropatkin, but headed deep into the continent. Of course, the command of the Asians understood the whole risk of the operation, so on May 4, a landing force of 15 thousand landed in the Dagushan area. Task: to cover the advance on Jinzhou.

The Japanese campaign to the city lasted 19 days. Near this city is the narrowest passage on the Kwantung Peninsula. The grouping of Russians on this isthmus was about 4 thousand people. May 13 was a long battle. Although the losses of the Japanese were 3 times greater, it was they who won the battle. As a result of this victory, the Japanese army opened its way to the port of Dalniy. Northeast China fell under the general control of the Japanese forces, and the Russian troops were actually cut off from each other.

Liaoyang battle

In August 1904, the third stage of the war began. The battle of Liaoyang was already planned, because for three months near this locality serious fortifications were built. In August 1904, the number of the Manchurian Russian army was 152 thousand, and the Japanese forces were 22 thousand less numerous. The battle of Liaoyang in 1904 went down in history as an event that completely broke the spirit Russian army.

Despite being outnumbered, the Japanese were the first to attack on 11 August. They wanted to surround the Russians, or at least completely isolate them from a possible path of approach for new forces. The initiative always belonged to the Japanese troops, because they, unlike the Russians, were active.

Kuropatkin's army did not have the opportunity to go on the offensive sharply, because the distance from the center was more than 7000 km. On August 19, Kuropatkin surrendered another point to the Japanese, after which there was a threat of seizing Yantai. Realizing that nothing could be achieved, the command decided to retreat to Mukden. The battle of Liaoyang, whose participants lost a total of up to 40,000 people, showed the backwardness and immobility of the Russian troops.

The results of the war

Talking about further battles, in principle, does not make much sense, because these were the successes of the Japanese and the agony of Russia.

The results of the war for Russia were very difficult. So, the Portsmouth Peace Treaty of 1905 states that:

1. South Sakhalin passes to Japan.
2. Japan leases the Liaodong Peninsula.
3. Possibility of being held by the Japanese railway on the Liaodong Peninsula.
4. The withdrawal of the Russian army from Manchuria.

Russia and Japan entered into a conflict, the consequences of which, in fact, are felt today, because the peace treaty between Russia and Japan following the results of the 1945 war has not yet been concluded.

Insignia of the military order of St. George was established under Emperor Alexander I in 1807. They were awarded for a specific feat of non-commissioned officers, soldiers and sailors, "who will distinguish themselves with special courage against the enemy." The silver cross on the St. George's orange and black ribbon was better known as the "St. George's Cross", although officially it received such a name only in 1913.

By decree of March 19, 1856, the Badge of Distinction of the Military Order was subdivided into 4 degrees. Crosses of the first two degrees were made of gold, the third and fourth degrees were made of silver. Those who were awarded the St. George Cross were called Knights of St. George, and those who received St. George's Crosses of all four degrees were called full Knights of St. George.

Insignia of the military order of St. George was often called the "soldier's order", he was given special reverence. The awards were always made in a solemn atmosphere, in front of the general system. The recipient of the badge simultaneously received a number of significant benefits: exemption from corporal punishment, exclusion from the taxable estate, an increase in a third of the salary. When he was transferred to the reserve, the awarded person kept a surplus salary until the end of his life, and after his death, this “cross money” was given to his widow for another year.

The St. George Cross was proudly worn on the chest by many Russian soldiers, including the heroine of the war with Napoleon Nadezhda Durova, the famous sailor Pyotr Koshka, the famous marshals G.K. Zhukov, R.Ya. Malinovsky, heroes civil war CM. Budyonny, V.I. Chapaev and others. Of the Ustyuzhans (natives of the former Veliky Ustyug district), about 200 people are known in the list of Knights of St. George.

One of the first to be awarded honorary award sailor of the 2nd article Ivan Vasilyevich Dyachkov (from the village of Bovykino, Ust-Alekseevsky volost), who served in 1828 on the battleship "Paris" and distinguished himself in the amphibious assault during the capture of the Turkish fortress of Sizopol.

More than 10 Ustyug residents received the St. George Cross for their heroic deeds in battles with the Turks in Crimean War 1853-1856 and the Russian-Turkish war of 1877-1878. For example, Stepan Nutrikhin (from Stradnaya volost), who served on the Vesta steamer, distinguished himself in a battle with Turkish steamers on the Danube on July 11, 1877. Andrey Shorokhov (from the village of Kononovo, Ust-Alekseevsky volost) showed courage in the battles near the village of Ayaslyar in August 1877.

75 people distinguished themselves in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905, of which 40 sailors participated in the defense of Port Arthur and naval battles(O.V. Kopylov, A.A. Dolgodvorov, N.F. Markov, V.V. Markov, G.P. Romanov, etc.). Loggin Agafonovich Klepikovsky (from the village of Drishchev Prislon, Palem volost) was drafted into the army in November 1899. He served in the 6th company of the 20th East Siberian regiment. For excellent shooting he was awarded a license plate, for a trip to China in 1900-1901. - a silver medal, and for courage in the battle with the Japanese - the Insignia of the Military Order of the 4th degree. In May 1905, he was awarded the rank of senior non-commissioned officer. After his dismissal from the army on April 1, 1906, he received 6 rubles a year for a cross.

For courage and courage during the years of the Russo-Japanese War, Akindin Ivanovich Yahlakov (from the village of Obradovo, Ust-Alekseevsky volost) was awarded the insignia of the military order of the 4th and 3rd degrees.

Most of those awarded the St. George Cross were during the First World War, in 1914-1917. According to available information, more than 100 people from Ustyug residents received the Badge of Distinction during this period. Nikolai Nikolaevich Pestovsky (from the village of Birichevo, Tregubov Volost) served in the army for the first time in 1896-1905. In 1914 he was again called up and for more than two years he participated in battles and campaigns against the Germans and Austrians. In May 1915 he was promoted to corporal. For saving the life of ensign Obrezkov near the village of Grabskie Budy on July 21, 1915, he was awarded the St. George Cross of the 4th degree.

The same award was given to junior non-commissioned officer Vasily Prokopyevich Savelyev (from the village of Romanovo, Palem volost) for capturing a German battery on October 19, 1914.

Nikolai Alekseevich Kabakov (from the village of Onbovo, Tregubov Volost) was mobilized for the war on July 18, 1914. At first he served in the 213th Ustyug Infantry Regiment, with which he was on a campaign from August 4 to 28, 1914 from Gumbinnen to Koenigsberg. In the battle on August 29 he was shell-shocked. After treatment, he served in the 113th Starorussky Infantry Regiment until July 21, 1917. In the Augustow forests, the entire 20th Corps, which included the regiment, was surrounded by the Germans. The Russian soldiers did not surrender, broke through three enemy lines, went to Grodno and held the forts of the city until fresh forces. For leaving the encirclement, all soldiers received the St. George Cross of the 4th degree.

Senior non-commissioned officer Ivan Alekseevich Protasov (from the village of Varzhenskaya Zaimka, Ust-Alekseevsky volost) was awarded two St. George Crosses for military distinctions in battles on the territory of Galicia. In July 1916, he was wounded, and in January of the following year he was demobilized. Sappers, senior non-commissioned officers Afanasy Nikolaevich Trudov (from the village of Popadinskaya, Ust-Alekseevsky volost) and Savvaty Semenovich Bologov (from the village of Lukovitsyno of the same volost) had two St. George's crosses. The latter was twice wounded and shell-shocked, and in addition to two crosses, he also had St. George medals "For Courage" of three degrees.

Alexander Dmitrievich Zhilin from Veliky Ustyug voluntarily went to the front in August 1915. IN active army stayed until October 1918. For distinction in battles he was awarded two St. George's crosses and two St. George's medals.

Petr Semyonovich Lushkov, also from Veliky Ustyug, had St. George's crosses of three degrees and three St. George's medals. He was drafted into the army in 1915. He graduated from the machine gun team at the Oranienbaum school. Participated in hostilities as part of the 5th Finnish rifle regiment. In December 1915 he was gassed, in June 1916 he was shell-shocked. Demobilized from the army in 1918. Voluntarily entered the Red Army and was enrolled in a machine gun team. He served as a platoon commander in the Vashko-Mezensky regiment. In the battle near the village of Gorodok on the Northern Dvina on August 10, 1919, the invaders used poison gases. Most of the regiment suffered. The Red Army soldiers were taken prisoner. Together with others, Pyotr Lushkov ended up in a concentration camp in England. In April 1920, after the exchange of prisoners of war, he returned to his homeland.

The full bow of the George Cross was worn by A.G. Koptyaev (from the village of B. Selmenga, Vostroy volost) and A.S. Lagirev (from the village of Smolnikovo, Nesteferovsky volost). Alexander Grigorievich participated in the hostilities in 1915-1917. He received the first cross in February 1915 for taking a height of 992 m, at the same time he was promoted to ml. non-commissioned officers. For distinction in the battles near the city of Stimlya in May 1915, he was awarded the St. George Cross of the 3rd degree and promoted to Art. non-commissioned officers.

In April 1917 he received his first officer rank. In battles, he was wounded three times and gassed twice. He returned from the front in November 1917.

Arseniy Stepanovich Lagirev (1889-1974) is depicted in the surviving photograph with St. George's crosses of four degrees and six medals, of which 4 are St. George's medals. Unfortunately, no documents about his service in the army have yet been found.

In 1917, royal orders and medals were abolished, only St. George's crosses were allowed to be worn. Fighting traditions past found their continuation during the Great Patriotic War. The courageous image of fathers and grandfathers inspired Soviet soldiers in the fight against the Nazi invaders. The St. George awards were not forgotten either. In 1943, a soldier's Order of Glory of three degrees was established. Like the George Cross, they wear it on a ribbon of black and orange colors. The medal "For the Victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945" is worn on the same ribbon.

The following is known about the further service of Nikolai Evstigneevich: in 1917 he was transferred to the Sea Fortress of Emperor Peter the Great, whose headquarters was in Revel (now Tallinn, Estonia).

"Order of the Commander of the Baltic Sea Fleet
No. 292. October 18, 1917.
They are being translated: ... Lieutenant for the Admiralty Nikolai Saltykov (Abo-Oland fortified position) - to the Primorsky Front of the sea fortress of Emperor Peter the Great."

Judging by the date of the order - October 18 - in Petrograd, a week later, the Winter Palace was stormed. What happened next in the country is well known to everyone. Did N.E. arrive? to a new place of service, it is impossible to say for sure. To do this, he had to: wait for a shift, hand over his unit, then cross from Holland to Revel. Most likely, if the ships did not go in October, then if he got to a new place of service, then by land, through revolutionary Petrograd, the attitude towards officer uniforms in which did not change much better side. It seems most logical that, having correctly assessed the hopelessness of the situation and the disappearance of everything with which his service was connected, the sailor decided to leave it. It is possible that he still had hopes for the best, but in any case, at the beginning of 1918, the old fleet was disbanded.

Saltykov N.E. returned to his native village and took up farming.

In 2014, the author of historical films about the Vyatka region - Alexei Fominyh - was filmed documentary about the fate of N.E. Saltykov, "Midshipman with Siberian shooter". The film was being prepared even before the discovery in the RGAVMF of documentary information from the track record of Saltykov N.E. But, despite certain inaccuracies made in it (for example, the rank of midshipman is equal to the rank of lieutenant, and not second lieutenant, who in any case was a coastal officer of the fleet ), it should be noted the sincere interest of the sailor's relatives in the history of their family, the noble impulse to search for the truth and the understanding of the involvement of the fate of their ancestor with the great past of Russia.

destroyer "Buyny"

The lead ship of the destroyer series. Launched in 1901. Shipyard - Nevsky Zavod, St. Petersburg. Commissioned - 1902.
On May 14, 1904, during the Tsushima battle, he was at the disposal of the commander of the Oslyabya EBR. As soon as the battleship began to sink, the destroyer approached the place of death of the ship and took 204 people on board. The rescue operation had to be stopped due to heavy Japanese artillery fire. During the rescue of the Oslyabi crew, the destroyer bent the rudders and propellers, as a result of which the sound of damaged mechanisms was constantly heard in the engine room. The destroyer began to catch up with the squadron that had gone ahead.
The signalmen noticed in the distance the Knyaz Suvorov, which was under fire from the EDB. Despite the strong swell and dense fire, the destroyer, at the risk of being crushed on the side of the battleship, approached the side and removed Vice Admiral Rozhdestvensky and part of his staff from the burning ship. The destroyer "Bedovy" (of the same type as "Buyny"), sent next to evacuate the headquarters and crew, did not fulfill the order and could not remove anyone from the board.
On the orders of Rozhdestvensky, the heavily damaged "Buyny" was supposed to be blown up on May 15, 1904 (the destroyer actually lost its course, the lack of coal also affected), but the explosive device did not work. The ship was destroyed by artillery fire from the Dmitry Donskoy EDB.

destroyer "Bedovy"

Launched - 1902. Shipyard - Nevsky Shipyard, St. Petersburg. During the Tsushima battle, the Knyaz Suvorov was at the disposal of the EBR. On May 14, 1904, he received an order to remove the command and headquarters of Rozhdestvensky from the dying EBR "Prince Suvorov", but the order was not complied with. May 15, together with the same type of "Grozny" received an order to go to Vladivostok. But by 3 o'clock in the morning on May 16, he was overtaken by Japanese ships. Having given the order to Grozny to break through to Vladivostok, he threw out a white flag and a red cross flag. On May 17, the ship was escorted to the port of Sasebo. In 1905 he was introduced into the combat core of the Japanese fleet under the name "Satsuki". In combat service - until 1913, disarmed and until 1922 was used as a floating target
