"The collection of weapons of the State Historical and Cultural Museum-Reserve "Moscow Kremlin" cannot be classified as the largest in Russia. It has only a few thousand items. However, there is not a single historian of weapons, not a single collector in the world who did not know would not like to visit the Armory Chamber of the Moscow Kremlin, where for several centuries amazing examples of Russian, Western European and Eastern weapons of the 11th-20th centuries have been stored under the protection of powerful fortress walls.The basis of this collection is two historical complexes: - a collection of Russian tsars of the 16th-17th centuries and the Imperial Rust-Chamber - a collection of ceremonial and hunting weapons of Russian autocrats of the 18th - early 19th centuries.

The history of the creation of the first of these historical complexes goes back centuries. Five hundred years ago, almost simultaneously with the formation of the Russian centralized state, With the help of the walls, towers, palaces and cathedrals of the Moscow Kremlin, at the court of the Grand Dukes of All Russia, an department was created that stored and manufactured princely, and then royal weapons. Over the long period of its existence, this department has repeatedly changed its name: "armourer's chambers", Bronny order, Armory order, order of the large Sovereign Armory, Workshop and Armory, but its main function has never changed - the function of the repository of royal weapons. "Academy of Arts of pre-Petrine Russia", "Russia's main department for the production of weapons and equipment", "treasury" - these and other no less enthusiastic epithets were awarded to the unique institution by Russian and Soviet researchers. Its significance was so great that the museum created at the beginning of the 19th century by the Decree of Emperor Alexander I on the territory of the Moscow Kremlin received the name of the Armory Chamber.

Unfortunately, for a long time in our country not a single significant publication specially dedicated to the collection of the ancient Sovereign Armory was published.
This album is the first book in which a wide range of readers are invited to get acquainted with the history of the Sovereign Armory and with the most famous examples of cold steel and firearms stored both in the showcases of the exhibition halls and in the museum's storage facilities closed to visitors.
We hope that this book will arouse great interest not only among specialists, but also among a wide range of readers interested in the history of Russia and weapons art."

Scientific Supervisor of the Moscow Kremlin Museums, Candidate of Historical Sciences A.K. Levykin
