Regimental History
______________________________________________________________________________
Russian Guard's prestige came from their position of being the monarch's guard. Decades before the Napoleonic Wars the Guard served political functions, prepared nobles to officer rank and provided officers to the army. No guard regiments as such participated in the bloody Seven Years War against the Prussians. They became very comfortable in St. Petersburg where they were stationed.
Although not all guardsmen were nobles, the rest of the army couldn't compare to them in social tone. With a membership composed in large part of the blue-blooded sons of the best families, the well-tailored white and green uniforms, were a frequent sight at parades and celebrations. The life of private in the guard was more comfortable than officer's in the army. They were seen outfitted for sentry duty accompanied by servants bearing their masters' weapons !
The 'mad' Tzar Paul however disliked the Guards and made several changes. He imposed discipline and accountability on commanders. Paul also got rid of officers not on active duty. The Guard had to learn the Prussian drill, considered as the best in Europe. These changes made him strongly unpopular in influential military circles. This is not very surprising that in his murder were involved officers of the Guard.
Son of Tzar Paul, Alexander, took the Guard into the field. They participated in every major campaign and became excellent troops. The Russian Guard had in common several features: discipline, confidence and a desire to excel in combat. Sir Robert Wilson campaigned with the Russians. He was impressed with the Guards, "... there cannot be a nobler corps, or one of more warlike description, and the simplicity of the dress gives to the man the full character of his figure and mien."
There were many officers who had been enlisted in Guard regiments as children and reached high rank without gaining much experience. (Goetz - "1805: Austerlitz" p 38) In 1808 the monarch issued statement that he will not be bothered by numerous young nobles appearing before Him wishing to be registered into the Guard but who could not show an attestation from the director of the First Cadet Corps that they were qualified to be accepted.
