The Banners of the Russian Regiments
The military banners of the Russian regiments presented in this book are the bright and filled with the deep meaning symbols of determination and goal commitment that Russia used while gaining its strength and demonstrating it to the whole world.
The period from 1700 until 1814 is not an occasional selection: it began from the idea of Peter the Great on the necessity of creating the regular military units, was filled by the victories at the battlefields and organizational successes finalizing by the triumph of the Russian armors during one of the largest wars of the XIXth century.
Each banner and standard holds behind its own story, its own events that being collected together present the united picture of the military glory and heroism of the Russian Army.
