Volyn Life Guards Regiment in the February Bourgeois Revolution. Life Guards Volynsky Regiment A Brief Historical Sketch Volynsky Life Guards Regiment Anokhin

100 years ago, on February 27, 1917, there was a mutiny in the Volyn Life Guards Regiment.

The uprising of the Petrograd garrison, which brought victory to the February Revolution, began with a mutiny in the reserve battalion of the Volynsky Life Guards Regiment. But how could this happen? After all, the Life Guards Volynsky was the most disciplined in the Russian army!He stood out even against the background of other regiments of the 3rd Guards Infantry Division - famous for its "hard labor" discipline and exemplary appearance of a soldier 1 .

"hard labor" division

Regimental badge of the Volyn Life Guards Regiment

Discipline in the soldiers of the 3rd Guards was forged at every turn. For this, they sought from them an exemplary appearance, perfect combat training and steadfast observance of internal order. After all, accustoming to accuracy in trifles, learning to do only what is necessary, and only when it is necessary, a person learns to follow the established rules, to subordinate his will to someone else's.

“Strictness - no gasp, no sigh; you can’t stretch your legs without the permission of the authorities,- wrote one of those who got into the reserve battalion of the Life Guards of the Lithuanian Regiment in September 1914. - If you want to go to the restroom - go with a report to the separated corporal. […]

Boots in fact do not shine - the outfit is out of turn. The buttons are dull - the outfit.

Klyamor does not shine - walk with a goose step” 2 .

Yes, in the 3rd Guards they were forced to clean the bracket (clasp) of the waist belt that was not even visible under the badge. And the main teachers of the soldiers - non-commissioned officers and corporals - also used "methods of training and education not provided for by the then charter" 3 .

“Some walk with a goose step”, “others run around the stable with caps, with belts, with bowlers, with mugs, with footcloths, with socks, with boots in their teeth” - and all, “trying to outshout each other, yell:

- I'm a fool! I'm a fool! I'm a fool!

- That's how they clean the clay! That's how they clean the clay!

- I'm a badass! I'm a badass!" 4

After such training, people carried out orders automatically.

Which is what was required.

Indeed, in combat, a person turns on a powerful instinct for self-preservation. To suppress it, consciousness may not be enough for many. This is where the habit will help out without hesitation, automatically, almost instinctively, to follow orders.

So, in the Volynsky Life Guards, discipline was forged even more persistently than in other regiments of the “hard labor” division.

"Iron" regiment

Regimental badge of the Volyn Life Guards Regiment (option for lower ranks)

“Special distinctness – decisively in everything: in saluting, marching, rifle techniques, in every movement – ​​always and everywhere singled out Volintsev,” an officer of the Life Guards of the Finnish Regiment admitted in 1930 5 .

Volhynia managed to maintain this distinctness in the First World War - when the regiment changed its rank and file more than once. “Solid, as in a parade, step, perfect alignment, a special wave of the hand [back to failure. - Auth.], by which the Sovereign recognized our soldiers even when they, having been transferred to another regiment, wore a different uniform. Thin lines of bayonets, strictly aligned in rows in a horizontal and vertical plane, are completely motionless ... ” 6 This is how the Volynians passed in front of the authorities as early as July 15, 1916, on a march in the front line.

The regiment naturally fought, not paying attention to death. Seeing in July 1916 on the cuffs of Russian tunics a yellow braid (3rd Guards Infantry Division), and on the slats, along the cut, dark green (the fourth regiment of the division, i.e. Volynsky Life Guards), the captured Germans perked up: “A- a, sign regiment [regiment (German). – Auth.]… Iron Regime…” 7

And this is just seven months before the historic riot.

"Discipline was visible in everything and manifested itself at every step," - so, according to the memoirs of the then regiment commander, it was back in February 1917 8 .

In just a few days…

Lashkevich and "Fighting"

Senior non-commissioned officer Timofey Kirpichnikov, nicknamed "Fighter"

And in the reserve battalion of such a unit, a training team rebelled! The one where non-commissioned officers were trained - those who themselves had to discipline the soldiers! Yes, even with such a head of the training team as staff captain Ivan Stepanovich Lashkevich ...

Suffice it to say about this “girlishly ruddy, with a round Russian face and clear, kind, large gray eyes” 9 officer, who turned 26 in February, that he is a former sergeant major of the Alexander Military School.

This is a brand.

This means - a great drill and a mercilessly demanding boss.

Only such junkers were appointed to the post of sergeant major (in Soviet - foremen). After all, it was the sergeant major, the direct head of all the cadets of his company, who was responsible for order in it.

According to a number of officers of the Volyn regiment, as well as Colonel M.N. Levitov (already in the summer of 1917 he communicated with the ranks of the reserve battalion), the instigator of the riot, senior non-commissioned officer Timofei Ivanovich Kirpichnikov, also had a “reputation for a strict boss”. The soldiers even nicknamed him "Fighting" 10 .

A smile of fate: on the night of February 26, Lashkevich appointed Kirpichnikov as a sergeant major of the 1st company (a few days before, two companies were formed from the ranks of the main training team to suppress possible unrest) - instead of the urgently "ill" lieutenant Lukin. From the story of “Mordoboy” about further events, it can be seen that Lukin’s main position, the sergeant major of the main training team, also passed to him (there were two more preparatory and additional).

Lashkevich's decision became fatal - both for his personal fate and for the fate of Russia.

Murder before formation

On February 24-26, both companies dispersed demonstrators on Znamenskaya Square (now Vosstaniya Square).

According to Kirpichnikov's later recorded story, he quietly ordered the soldiers to aim over their heads, and on the night of the 26th he suggested to the non-commissioned officers of both companies not to shoot at all. On the evening of the 26th, he called the commanders of platoons and sections of the main training team and proposed that they refuse to pacify the riots altogether.

They agreed. They instructed their soldiers 11 . And on the morning of February 27, the team built for the arrival of Lashkevich defiantly and grossly violated discipline.

According to Kirpichnikov, the team shouted “Hurrah!” after the staff captain greeted him. According to Konstantin Pazhetnykh, who was in the ranks, this was the answer to Lashkevich's greeting to the team.

To Lashkevich’s question: “What does this mean?” junior non-commissioned officer Mikhail Markov answered, and it became clear that the team had rebelled. The order to shoot (according to the Pazhetnykhs - Lashkevich's orders in general) will not be carried out by people, Markov said.

And, taking the rifle “on hand”, he directed a bayonet at the staff captain.

The next minute the rioters demanded that Lashkevich leave 12 .

And when he appeared in the courtyard, Markov and Corporal Orlov 13 shot him from the windows - and killed him outright.

(According to the version of the officer, who later questioned the soldiers, the team twice responded with silence to the greeting of their chief: after that, Lashkevich himself went out, and Kirpichnikov shot him 14. But can the testimony of two eyewitnesses be rejected?)

After the assassination, Kirpichnikov persuaded the non-commissioned officers of the preparatory teams to join the main training team. And when they went out into the street, the 4th company joined them without any persuasion.

March 1917. Volyn regiment went over to the side of the revolution

undertreated

It is quite understandable that the Volynians did not want to shoot at the demonstrators at all. He asks for his own, Russian, bread - is this a rebel?

But refusing to follow orders...

Here, first of all, it came back to me that the soldiers and most of the “non-commissioned officers” of the reserve battalion did not experience the Volyn drill in full.

Almost all the old-timers died by October 1916, by February they were left in miserable crumbs. "Volyntsy" of the 3rd company of the reserve battalion - who refused to shoot at the demonstrators on February 26, 15 - are recruits who have not served even 6 weeks! The same in the 1st and 2nd companies.

The soldiers of the 4th company and the people of Lashkevich were drilled at the most for two to five months. The front-line past also prevented these latter from automatically carrying out orders to shoot at demonstrators.

They were in the reserve battalion for the second time.

In between were the front and the wound.

And not just a front, but offensive battles in August - September 1916 in the Vladimir-Volyn direction. Those who went through this meat grinder were no longer afraid of much. There will be no more terrible German front! It is no coincidence that they rebelled first in the battalion.

Soldiers-front-line soldiers of the beginning of 1917 were at least not afraid to talk.

And how can one not argue here, if by the evening of the 26th the inaction of the authorities became noticeable?

Staff Captain A.V. Tsurikov lets the demonstrators go to Znamenskaya with a gesture.

And captain P.N. Gaiman silently swallowed the 2nd Preparatory Training Team's refusal to fire on the crowd streaming across the Liteiny Bridge to 16 Liteiny Prospekt.

Actually, a dozen or two 17 "passionaries" like Kirpichnikov and Markov ensured the success of the uprising. After all, many Volynians did not want to rebel.

collapse

Part of one of the Volyn companies - stationed in the barracks of the Life Guards of the 1st Artillery Brigade on Baskova Street (now Korolenko Street) - rested even at noon on February 27. She returned to the barracks in an organized manner, when Colonel A.P. Kutepov assured her that they would not shoot her 18 .

But in the center of the revolt, in the southeastern part of the Tauride barracks, at the end of Vilensky Lane, the way back was cut off for many by the shots of Markov and Orlov.

Now either go to the end - or be shot. For participating in a riot aggravated by the murder of an officer.

There is nothing to lose!

"On the shoulder! Step march!” - ordered Kirpichnikov, and training teams with the 4th company moved along Vilensky to the nearby barracks of the 18th engineer battalion - to raise other Volyn companies stationed there.

“Murdoboy” was informed that machine guns were posted ahead, and, not even reaching Fontannaya, he deployed a detachment. Never mind, let's go the other way and turn left, onto Front Street. We will raise the reserve battalions of the Life Guards of the Preobrazhensky and the Life Guards of the Lithuanian regiments stationed in the Taurida barracks.

There is nothing to lose! - and, breaking in from the Parade, with firing and shouts of “Hurrah!” into the courtyard of the Taurida barracks, soldiers with dark green buttonholes with yellow edging on their overcoats “fought” for an hour and a half to rebel the soldiers with red and yellow 20 .

Those also found the Kirpichnikovs - senior non-commissioned officer Fedor Kruglov raised the 4th company of the reserve battalion of the Preobrazhenians. People were tied with blood here too: the Volynians stabbed the head of the Preobrazhensky workshops, army lieutenant colonel Bogdanov 21 ...

A crowd of many thousands of rebels passed through Paradnaya and turned left, onto Kirochnaya - to raise other units!

There is nothing to lose!

Having turned onto Preobrazhenskaya (now Radishcheva Street), Kirpichnikov raised (already easily!) a reserve company of the Life Guards of the Sapper Regiment.

At the corner of Kirochnaya and Znamenskaya (now Vosstaniya Street), the troublemakers mutinied the 6th reserve engineer battalion, killing its commander, Colonel V.K. von Goering.

Further along Kirochnaya, at the corner of Nadezhdinskaya (now Mayakovsky Street), the Petrograd gendarmerie division lodged. The gendarmes were also taken out into the street, followed by the junkers of the Petrograd school of ensigns of the engineering troops located obliquely.

“Well, guys, now the work has begun!” Kirpichnikov uttered with relief.

“Got work!”

Indeed, crowds of demonstrators have already joined the soldiers. The building of the District Court was already burning at the corner of Liteiny and Shpalernaya - part of the divided mass of the rebels penetrated there as well. The police have already been arrested and killed. The emissaries of members of the State Duma - who decided to seek the abdication of the tsar - were already leading groups of soldiers to the Taurida Palace, where the Duma members had gathered ...

The unrest turned into the February Revolution.
