In 1816-1817. on the eastern side of Ruzovskaya Street, closer to the Obvodny Canal, for the Life Guards of the Jaeger Regiment, architect. A.E. Shtauberg built the New Jaeger Barracks (Nos. 10-16), which have survived to this day and represent two U-shaped two-story buildings stretched out on the even side of the street on the semi-basement floor of red brick.

Before the Life Guards, the Jaeger Regiment, which began its history in 1796, was located in the so-called Staroyeger barracks at 5 Zvenigorodskaya Street (also preserved to this day).

In December 1917, the Life Guards Jaeger Regiment ceased to exist, and after the end of the Civil War, its barracks were occupied by the Red Army. During the Great Patriotic War here, in the semi-basement, as in the safest place, the reserve military units of the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army were located.

After the Second World War, soldiers lived in the barracks of the former Jaeger Regiment on Ruzovskaya. Somewhere in the year 1959, when N.S. Khrushchev began to reduce the army, the military unit that occupied the Novogersk barracks was either disbanded or transferred somewhere. Instead, in one of the buildings of the already former barracks, closer to the Obvodny Canal, the Medical School at the Pediatric medical institute, and in the other - the Medapparatura plant. Somewhere in the mid 1980s. the medical school moved to a building specially built for it in the Kirovsky district, and the plant became known as Medtekhnika.

There were cobblestone pavements on all the streets of Sementsov. The sidewalks were neatly paved with light yellow limestone slabs about 50 by 50 in size. At night, the streets were lit by incandescent bulbs that shone in a dull yellow color. They were screwed from below into something similar to large white enameled plates that hung on a thick wire stretched across the avenue or street, fixed to the walls of houses facing each other, somewhere at the level of the third floor.

The writer Vsevolod Vitalyevich Vishnevsky was "connected" to these barracks: his maternal uncle served as an officer in the Life Guards of the Jaeger Regiment, and Vishnevsky, as a boy, often went with him to the barracks of the Jaeger Regiment on Ruzovskaya Street. When did the first World War, he was a fourteen-year-old teenager who ran away from home to the front and was enlisted in the Life Guards Jaeger Regiment as an ordinary huntsman. For the courage shown in the battles with the Germans V.V. Vishnevsky was awarded three combat awards, which he then proudly wore along with the Soviet ones. Returning from the front to Petrograd in 1917, Vishnevsky, as part of the 6th reserve company of the Jaeger regiment, participated in October revolution, and after the disbandment of the Jaeger Regiment, he went to serve in the Sea Coastal Detachment of the Baltic Fleet. Within this squad future writer took part in civil war, and during the Great Patriotic War V.V. Vishnevsky spent the entire blockade in the city. The people of Leningrad were very fond of his speeches on the radio and were looking forward to them.

Life Guards Jaeger Regiment of His Majesty.

"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 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 Regiment has its origins in the light infantry company, formed in 1792 by Tsarevich Pavel Petrovich as part of the Gatchina troops, called Jaeger, which was disbanded at the end of 1793 and reassembled in 1794. Major Anton Mikhailovich Rachinsky was appointed its commander. The uniform of the rangers differed from other Gatchina troops in a green camisole.

By the highest order on November 9, 1796, all Gatchina troops received the rights of the old guard, and those that existed in the life guards. Semyonovsky and Izmailovsky regiments Jaeger teams, together with the Jaeger company of the Gatchina troops, formed the life guards. Jaeger battalion, 3-company. Since that time (November 9, 1796) the L.-Guards. Jaeger regiment has seniority. The first commander of the L.-Gds. 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.

May 10, 1806 L-Guards. The Jaeger battalion doubled in its composition and became known as the Life Guards Jaeger Regiment.

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 a monument on the fields of Kulm, Emperor Nicholas I, wishing to emphasize the special merits of the L.-Guards. 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, L.-Gds. The Chasseurs 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.

Barracks of the Life Guards Jaeger Regiment
on Ruzovskaya street in St. Petersburg

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 on Zvenigorodskaya Street (later called the “Old Yeger” barracks), and then moved to the “Novoeger” barracks specially built for it on Ruzovskaya, 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 on the day of memory of St. Myronius. The church was closed in March 1930 and blown up in 1934.

Original name: History of the Life Guards Jaeger Regiment for a hundred years. 1796-1896

Publisher: Type of. Trenquet and Fusnot

Place of publication: St. Petersburg.

Publication year: 1896

In 1896, a two-volume commemorative edition "History of the Life Guards of the Jaeger Regiment for a hundred years: 1796-1896" was published, compiled by the officers of the regiment on the basis of archival documents, articles from periodicals and memoirs.

In 1796, from the Jaeger teams of the regiments of the Life Guards Semenovsky and Izmailovsky and from the Jaeger company of the Gatchina troops, the Life Guards Jaeger Battalion was formed, renamed in 1806 into the Life Guards Jaeger Regiment. In 1856, the regiment was renamed the Gatchina Life Guards, but in 1871 the former name was returned to it. The Life Guards Jaeger Regiment participated in the wars with France (1805, 1806–1807, 1812–1814), Turkey (1828–1829, 1877–1878), in the suppression of the Polish uprising (1830–1831) and in the First World War (1914– 1918). At the beginning of 1918 the regiment was disbanded.

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. I was an example of courage during Bagration's ice campaign through the Gulf of Bothnia during Russian-Swedish war 1808-1809.

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 opposite side parade ground in the fifth company of the Semenovsky regiment, new soldiers' (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.

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.
