Then the Novgorod regiment fought near Luzhno, in the area of ​​Staraya Russa, liberated the town of Kholm [1] (inaccessible link) .

In the Leningrad Military District there is a regiment that has really preserved its history! I went there myself - back in the years of perestroika, I helped them from the Central Committee of the Komsomol. One of the battalions of the 4th Infantry Regiment of Koporsky, established in 1803 and disbanded in 1917, turned into a regiment of the Red Army, and then the Soviet Army. The command was interested in this, enthusiasts created a museum there, found some uniforms, even made a Borodino diorama ... Moreover, they received the banner of the Koporsky regiment somewhere and taking the oath began with the removal of not only Fighting Red, but also this banner [2] .
