Историческая справка

Prince Pyotr Ivanovich Bagration, a descendant of the Georgian royal dynasty of Bagrationi, was born in 1765. He entered military service as a seventeen-year-old boy in 1782. Already in 1787-1791 Bagration fought in the Russo-Turkish War, and later, in 1793-1794, he distinguished himself in the Polish campaign.
The Price’s military merit did not go unnoticed: during Suvorov’s Italian and Swiss campaigns in 1799 he commanded the Russian army vanguard.
During the wars against Napoleon in 1805 and 1806-1807 Bagration was entrusted with the command of the rearguard. Bagration also distinguished himself in the battles at Schöngrabern (1805), Austerlitz (1805), Preußisch Eylau (1807) and Friedland (1807).
He also inflicted a number of defeats on the Swedes during the Finnish War of 1808-1809. At the same time, during the Russo-Turkish war of 1806-1812 he managed to become Commander-in-Chief of the Moldovan Army (1809-1810), and the Commander of Podolsk (2nd Western) Army since 1811.
With the beginning of the 1812 Patriotic War Bagration opposed the decision of drawing Russian armies off from Smolensk. In the course of the Battle of Borodino he led the left wing which was hit by the first enemy’s attack. During the battle, the Prince was mortally wounded. He died on the 12th September 1812.
On the day of the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Borodino, on the 7th September 2012, a monument to the hero of the Patriotic War of 1812, Pyotr Bagration, was unveiled in a previously anonymous square along ulitsa Marata. The monument was unveiled there because the barracks of the Jaeger Regiment, which the prince commanded in the 1800s, were located near the former Semyonovsky Platz.
