Preobrazhensky regiment

Description
"The Preobrazhensky regiment was one of the oldest and elite regiments of the imperial Russian army, it was formed by Peter the great in the late 17th century from his 'poteshnye voiska' in the village of preobrazhenskoye (now a district in Moscow). After Peter the great's death, the Preobrazhensky regiment was the main supporter of Catherine the great in her bloodless coup against her husband. All Russian emperors understood the importance of this regiment and took it under their patronage. The Preobrazhensky regiment distinguished itself during the Great northern war of 1700-1721, The patriotic war of 1812 and the Russo-Turkish war of 1877-1878. During the world war I the regiment took part in the battle of Galicia, battle of Warsaw, second battle of the masurian lakes, sventiany offensive and Brusilov offensive. On the 9th of April, 2013, the regiment was recreated for the Russian armed forces, now its called the 154th preobrazhensky independent commandant's regiment."
