Bagration - Anisimov Evgenii Viktorovich

In the pantheon of outstanding generals of our Fatherland, Prince Peter Bagration occupies one of the honorable places. A descendant of ancient Georgian tsars, Suvorov's favorite disciple, he was a participant in all the major wars of his time, became famous in many campaigns and died of the wound received in the Battle of Borodino, and did not survive the abandonment of Moscow. His biography is, first of all, the history of the wars that Russia waged in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Meanwhile, the personal, private life of P.I. Bagration is not so well known. We do not know exactly when he was born, how he began his military service, which he gave his whole life without a trace; many mysteries in the history of his relationship with the royal family, especially with the great princess Ekaterina Pavlovna, although it is here, it is believed, lurk the causes of the opal that befell Bagration shortly before the fateful 1812. The famous Russian historian, the permanent author of the series "The Life of Wonderful People" Yevgeny Anisimov tells about the milestones of the life of P.I. Bagration, the commander and man, as well as the history of Russia of his time.
