The book is devoted mainly to the social aspect of award medals of the Russian Empire, established during the wars with the army of Emperor Napoleon I in 1806-1807, 1812-1814. The archive documents underlying this publication were found by the author in numerous archives of Russia and the former USSR, and for the most part are being introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. The author, in addition to reporting purely numismatic information about each medal (institution, authors of design drawings and stamps, the number of minted and issued awards, etc.), reveals little-known aspects of the award, analyzing a large layer of archival documents unknown to researchers about the differences between residents of different estates of the empire who were awarded awards with award medals, their biographies. In the book, the reader will find the answer to questions about what the famous organizer of the peasant movement Gerasim Kurin was actually awarded, how many silver military medals in memory of the Patriotic War were actually minted and issued, how the nobility, merchants, bourgeoisie and peasantry contributed to the victory over the enemy. Full information is published from the lists of the clergy who fought on the fields of the Patriotic War, which tells about the time of participation of priests in campaigns and deeds "against the French", in what cases they took part, what feats they performed and what they were awarded with. Information is also provided on the unrealized projects of medals of the indicated period and the only project of the order known to date in memory of the Patriotic War of 1812. Curious incidents related to the establishment and awarding of some medals are described. The book is addressed to a wide range of readers: specialists, historians, employees of museums and archives, lovers of Russian history and collectors.
