Багратион

Historical novel about the glorious military leader of the Russian army, Prince Bagration, who was next to Suvorov and Kutuzov in the most difficult battles.

An outstanding commander, student of Suvorov and comrade-in-arms of Kutuzov , Pyotr Ivanovich Bagration (1769-1812) occupies a prominent place in the pantheon of Russian military glory. A participant in many campaigns and battles, he earned himself not only the respect of his contemporaries and the love of soldiers and officers (they changed his name to “God of the Army”), but also the grateful memory of his descendants. He was distinguished by personal courage, talent as a combat commander and contempt for the intrigues that often reigned in the military elite of that time. The historical novel by Sergei Golubov covers only a few months from the life of Bagration. But during these months he had to endure the beginning of the Patriotic War of 1812, the retreat of the Russian army with battles to Moscow and the surrender of the ancient capital. He did not live to see the expulsion of the French from Russia: his life was interrupted by a mortal wound received in the Battle of Borodino.
