Regiment Formation and Campaigns
The regiment was formed on October 29, 1811 from the companies of the Uglich Infantry and Moscow, Arkhangelogorod and Kazan garrison regiments .
For participation in the Patriotic War of 1812 and the Foreign Campaigns of 1813-1814. the regiment was awarded the "campaign for military distinction." On February 14, 1831, one battalion of the Vilna Regiment was separated into the formation of the Prague Infantry Regiment , in return for which a battalion of the Yaroslavl Regiment was assigned.
On January 28, 1833, the 1st and 3rd battalions of the 48th Jäger Regiment were added to the regiment , and the Vilensky Regiment was renamed the Jäger Regiment. On February 22, 1845, the regiment was given a battalion of the jaeger Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich , and on December 16 of that year, the 2nd and 3rd battalions were expelled from the regiment to form the Kuban jaeger regiment .
On November 14, 1853, the regiment participated in the defeat of the Turks at Akhaltsykh , for which he was awarded the St. George flag with the corresponding inscription. For participation in the Eastern War, the regiment was given signs for hats, with an inscription for the 1st and 2nd battalions: "For differences in 1854 and 1855.", For the 3rd and 4th battalions: "For differences in 1853, 1854 and 1855 ”.
April 17, 1856, the regiment was named infantry. On March 25, 1865, No. 52 was added to the name of the regiment, and from September 30, 1876 to October 5, 1905, the chief of the regiment was Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich , who was again appointed chief of the Vilnius regiment on April 14, 1909.
Since December 4, 1873, the regiment was stationed in Feodosia , in the rifle barracks on Military (now Viti Korobkov) street. During the Russian-Turkish war of 1877-1878 he guarded the Crimean coast from Feodosia to Sudak . In peacetime, the regiment played a large role in the public life of Feodosia, organized parades during the holidays, the regiment’s orchestra played on city boulevard during public festivities (on Sundays Tchaikovsky ’s solemn overture “ 1812th year ” was accompanied by ringing bells and shots from pistols [1] ), officers of the regiment were enviable grooms in the city.
On June 23, 1905, the 2nd company of the regiment was fired upon by the battleship “Potemkin” , which loaded coal in the port of Feodosia, after which the ship dropped anchor and went to the shores of Romania
In August 1914, as part of the 13th Infantry Division, the regiment went to the fronts of the First World War . Member of the Brusilovsky Breakthrough .
The 1917 Revolution and the Civil War in Russia
Like the entire Russian army, the regiment began to decompose after the publication of Order No. 1 and the irresponsible agitation of the socialist parties. In the spring of 1917, the reserve regiments refused to obey orders and speak to the front . Later, the soldiers managed to persuade to obey the order [2] .
The regiment was disbanded after the October Revolution of 1917. Many soldiers of the regiment returned to Feodosia. Some of them formed the Union of St. George Cavaliers and participated in the April uprising, crushed by the Bolsheviks with great casualties.
The regiment was revived in December 1918 in the Armed forces of the South of Russia and in the Russian army of Wrangel . He was a member of the 13th division of the 2nd army corps .
During the Crimean evacuation, the rear units of the regiment located in Feodosia did not get on the outgoing ships and were captured by units of the 9th RKKA Rifle Division under the command of Nikolai Kuybyshev. On the first night, from November 16 to 17, 1920, by order of the commissar of the 9th Division M. Lisovsky at the railway station of Feodosia, all the wounded officers and soldiers of the team recovering from the regiment were shot there, only about a hundred people. Perhaps this was revenge on the captured enemy, since the 9th Red Division repeatedly met with the Vilna Regiment in the fields of Northern Tavria [3] .
