FORMER CHEFS OF THE REGIMENT:

Note:

General Kornilov, a republican by conviction, found it possible to reward (!) the notorious non-commissioned officer of the Volynsky Life Guards Timofey Ivanovich Kirpichnikov, who shot his own commander and thereby initiated a riot of the troops of the Petrograd garrison. This Kirpichnikov, who arrived in the winter of 1918 on the Don to enlist in the White Volunteer Army formed by Kornilov, was shot on the spot, but this was done not on the orders of Kornilov himself (although, perhaps, with his knowledge), but on the orders of Alexander Pavlovich Kutepova, whose steadfast adherence to the ideas of monarchism was beyond doubt (being the last commander in February 1917, he tried in vain to resist the rebels with weapons in his hands, which, however, he did not succeed, due to the "treason, cowardice and deceit" that prevailed everywhere, saying words of the Tsar-Martyr Nicholas Alexandrovich).

Or February 26th? The beginning of executions of demonstrations and rare cases of armed rebuff by the police and the army?

On the night of February 26-27, the training team of the Volynsky regiment, which fired at the workers on Znamenskaya Square, decided to stop using weapons against the demonstrators. But it was as if passive resistance to the commanders suddenly turned into active action. When the head of the training team with a junior officer appeared at the barracks early in the morning, they were killed by rifle shots to the cries of “hurrah”.

A participant in the uprising of the Volyn regiment tells about this exceptional moment of the revolution:

“Non-commissioned officer Kirpichnikov read us an order - to build a team again tomorrow at 7 o’clock in the morning. At this time, in a dark, remote corner of the barracks, eighteen people gathered - more active privates, several platoon and detached commanders from the lower ranks, heatedly discussed the situation, and all eighteen irrevocably decided: tomorrow we will turn everything in our own way! We outlined a program of action: to build a team not at 7 o’clock in the morning, as ordered by staff captain Dashkevich, but at 6 o’clock, during this time to attract the entire team to our side ...

The light had already dawned when all eighteen quietly, in a few minutes, dispersed to their places.

On February 27 at 6 o'clock in the morning a team of 350 people was already built. Kirpichnikov spoke, outlined the general situation and explained how to act and what to do.

Almost no campaigning was needed. The propagandized soldiers seemed to be just waiting for this, and all the fighters expressed their firm consent to support the workers.

Death, so death, - they said, - but we will not shoot at our own.

At that moment, the rattling of spurs was heard in the corridor.

The team became alert and froze for a minute.

Ensign Kolokolov entered, a former student who had recently joined the regiment. The team responded to his greeting in the usual way. Commander Lashkevich entered after him. Everyone was worried. Silence reigned.

To the greeting "great, brothers!" “Hurrah” burst out - so we agreed earlier.

When the cheers subsided, Lashkevich seemed to sense something, but repeats the greeting once more. And again a mighty and formidable "hurrah" is heard again.

Lashkevich turns to non-commissioned officer Markov and angrily asks what this means.

Markov, tossing the rifle on his hand, firmly replies: “Hurrah” is a signal to disobey your orders!”

The butts rattled on the asphalt floor of the barracks, the shutters cracked. "Get out while still intact!" the soldiers shouted.

Lashkevich tries to shout: "Quiet!" Nobody listens to his commands. Lashkevich asks to restore order in order to read out the telegram received through General Khabalov "His Majesty Nicholas II", but this had no effect on the soldiers.

Having lost hope of subduing the team, Lashkevich and Kolokolov ran out the door. In the corridor they met Ensign Vorontsov-Velyaminov, and all three took to flight. Markov and Orlov quickly opened the window in the window, pointed their rifles, and when the three officers came up to the window, two shots rang out.

Lashkevich, like a layer, stretched out at the gate. Other officers rushed out the gate and immediately reported the mutiny to the regimental headquarters. Having taken the box office and the banner, all the officers immediately left the regiment.

The path was clear. The entire detachment, under the command of Kirpichnikov, went out into the yard.

A volley upward signaled the alarm. The detainees were released from the guardhouse. Delegates were immediately sent to the nearest teams with a proposal to join our rebel part. The first company of evacuees, consisting of 1,000 people, responded without hesitation and joined us. After a short time, the preparatory training team joined in.” Workers appeared among the soldiers. Volyns poured out into the street. With cries of "Hurrah", shooting upwards, they moved to the neighboring regiments - Preobrazhensky and Lithuanian. Approaching their barracks, they instantly unleashed peasant hatred for the landowner. Here, too, regimental commanders were killed. The Preobrazhenians and Lithuanians joined the Volhynians and marched in an armed mass towards the Vyborg region, the main focus of the Petrograd revolutionary conflagration. From the Vyborg side, the workers walked like lava on the ice across the Neva in the morning. Around noon, the Vyborzhians overturned a company of the Moscow Regiment, which was locking the Liteiny Bridge with machine guns, and poured into the city, dragging soldiers with them. On the way, the arsenal was taken by storm. Immediately, groups began to form hastily. About 40 thousand rifles were dismantled in an hour. There was a direct merger of the unorganized soldier's revolt with the revolutionary proletarian movement. Armed workers led the insurgent soldiers. The movement has turned into a revolution, overthrowing tsarism with an armed hand.

And this is a portrait of another "Volyn"

Ensign Astakhov is the first officer to become a revolutionary.
When the rebellious "Volyn" soldiers left the barracks,
Astakhov, shouting "Brothers, I am with you," went with them.

Of course, there was no plan of action, no headquarters of the uprising. There was a spontaneous but natural performance of the soldiers, which was supported by others military units and reinforced by workers. The first impulse was clear - to release their own, the arrested. With whom to fight - it was also clear, here they are police stations, here is a prison. Where to look for support - it was also clear. It is no coincidence that the Volynians and Lithuanians moved not to the center and not to the Duma, but to the Vyborg workers' district. Decisions were made on the fly. Sometimes party activists found themselves in the united detachments of workers and soldiers.

Soon the city was filled with trucks and cars with armed soldiers and sailors. Gendarmes and stubborn officers were caught, disarmed, arrested, sometimes killed. The authorities also prepared in advance for the riots - machine guns were set up in advance in several places to fire at the expected demonstrators. True, again, the police machine gunners did not assume that they would have to shoot not at the workers, but at the insurgent soldiers who could return fire.

There were short, stormy rallies at which further actions were determined. M.I. Kalinin spoke at one of them, who later recalled:

"A detachment of workers and soldiers after the capture of the Finland Station was indecisive, the soldiers ask:" Where are the leaders? Lead us "..." I went up to the platform of the station and shouted:
- If you want to have leaders, then there are "Crosses" nearby. The leaders must first be freed!"

The prison "Crosses" was captured by a detachment of soldiers and workers, led by the Bolshevik A.P. Taimi. A little earlier, they also occupied the house of preliminary detention. Members of the Petrograd Committee of the Bolsheviks V.N.

Tsarist ministers met at the Mariinsky Palace. Information about the uprising came from everywhere. The patrols of the Cossacks reported that the government detachment of a thousand people, thrown under the command of Colonel Kutepov against the Volynians, could not move forward. The soldiers fraternize with the rebels.

The confused ministers allowed the district commander, General Khabalov, to declare a state of siege in the capital. But there was no place to print the order: the printing house of the town authorities was occupied by the rebels. It was possible to print 1,000 copies in the Admiralty. Two police officers managed to put up only a few ads. Soon these sheets were torn down and trampled on by the crowd.

The ministers were listening to the reports in confusion when shots were already heard from afar. It was decided to put out all the lights in the palace and gather at least some of the loyal troops for resistance. There were no attacks, however, and the fires were lit again. “After the appearance of light, to my surprise, I found myself under the table,” one of the ministers later told the chairman of the State Duma, Rodzianko.

The fear was in vain. The armed crowd was marching towards the Tauride Palace. The Council of Elders - representatives of all factions - sat in the Duma. Rodzianko reported on the uprising, on the panic that seized the government. He sent a telegram to the king:

“The situation is getting worse. We must take immediate action, because tomorrow it will be too late. The last hour has come when the fate of the homeland and the dynasty is decided.

The Duma members discussed the tsarist decree on the dissolution of the Duma. How to be? To disobey a decree, to sit in session means to disobey the monarch, to embark on a revolutionary path. The Duma was incapable of this. Accept the decree and disperse, but shooting and the rumble of the approaching crowd were heard outside the window. The elders decided: to obey the emperor's decree, to dissolve the State Duma as an institution, but the members of the Duma did not disperse, but gathered as "private citizens" for an "informal" meeting. Thus, the decree was carried out, but they also untied their hands.

We did not meet in the White Hall, as usual, but in a semi-circular one, in order to emphasize the “private” nature of the meeting with this detail. More than two hundred deputies crowded around the table, where Rodzianko, throwing up his hands, asked: "What to do?" One of the Cadets, Nekrasov, who was considered the most leftist, proposed immediately appointing one of the "popular generals" as a dictator to suppress the rebellion. They waved their hands at him, angrily asserting that the ministers and generals were so frightened that they would have to be pulled out from under the bed. Trudovik Dzyubinsky recommended that a full-fledged committee to restore order be created from the members of the Duma. The Kadet Milyukov opposed both proposals: we must wait until it becomes clear on which side the majority of the troops and workers are on.

In the midst of the debate, an officer, the head of the guard, burst into the hall, shouting: “My assistant was seriously wounded, protect me!” The deputies, looking out of the windows, saw a crowd cordoning off the palace, then they heard the clatter of rifle butts on the steps of the stairs: the revolution was on the threshold of the Duma.

The rebellious people blocked all the streets adjacent to the Tauride Palace. Huge crowds occupied the courtyard. Armed soldiers and workers filled the palace.

The monarchist Shulgin, in his memoirs, conveyed the general mood of the frightened parliamentarians in this way:

“Machine guns - that’s what I wanted, because I felt that only the language of machine guns is available to the street crowd and that only lead, can drive back into its lair a terrible beast that has escaped to freedom ... Alas, this beast was ... his majesty Russian people!.. What we were so afraid of, what we wanted to avoid at all costs, was already a fact. The revolution has begun."

Who came to the State Duma? Several hundred people. As one of the historians wrote - "representatives of the rebel units." Why did they come? Should we seek protection, as PN Milyukov later hinted in his memoirs of the February Revolution, or should we look for leaders?

The insurgent units released not only the soldiers arrested the day before, but also the activists of the left parties arrested the day before, and members of the working group of the military-industrial committee. And in the State Duma, the representatives of the rebel units who came met not only with the chairman of the Duma, Rodzianko, but also with representatives of the Social Democrats - Chkheidze, Skobelev, Kerensky, who, although they did not call for a revolution, were internally ready for it.

It was in Taurida that the creation of revolutionary authorities, or rather, two authorities of the revolution, began.

Those who came to the Tauride Palace heard a wish from the Chairman of the Duma Rodzianko to maintain order and calmness, and from the deputies of the State Duma Chkheidze and Skobelev - to urgently hold elections of workers' and soldiers' deputies to the Soviet.

At the Tsarist Headquarters, the morning of February 27 passed as usual. Nicholas II went out to receive reports calm. They knew about the events in Petrograd. The day before, a letter came from the queen about a speech in the capital on February 25.

“This is a hooligan movement,” the queen wrote, “boys and girls run around and shout that they have no bread, just to create excitement, and workers who prevent others from working. If the weather had been very cold, they would probably all have stayed at home."

The Headquarters believed that there were “hunger riots” in Petrograd, and they were accustomed to not paying attention to the hunger of the working masses. Nicholas reassuringly answered the excited queen:

“The unrest in the troops comes from a company of convalescents, as I heard. I wonder what Paul is doing? (Commander of the Guard. Note ed.). He should have held them in his hands.

Troops moved from the front line to Petrograd. Khabalov was ordered to put an end to the unrest immediately.
But from noon more and more disturbing news began to arrive. A telegram came from the tsaritsa: “The revolution yesterday (February 26. Ed.) assumed terrifying proportions. I know that other parts have also joined. The news is worse than ever." An hour later, a second telegram arrived:
“Concessions are needed. The strikes continue. Many troops went over to the side of the revolution.

Then Petrograd almost stopped responding to calls.

The courtiers at Headquarters became agitated. The tsar conferred for a long time with the chief of staff, General Alekseev, about measures to combat. They planned to send a combat general with troops to Petrograd. By evening, Nikolai himself decided to be there. At 7 pm Nikolai told his wife: “I'm leaving tomorrow at 2.30. The horse guards were ordered to immediately move from Novgorod to the city.

It was reported from the environs of Petrograd that all the troops raised red flags. There are no loyal units left in the capital at all. At Headquarters, the commanders of the fronts were called to the wire. Troops were withdrawn from the forward positions. General Alekseev, when asked by his assistant what happened, impatiently replied: "Petrograd is in revolt."

Khabalov from the "faithful" regiments hastily formed a shock unit consisting of six companies of infantry and one and a half squadrons of cavalry with 15 machine guns. However, this detachment, at the first contact with the rebels, went over to their side. General Khabalov, together with another combined detachment from parts of the Lithuanian, Keksholmsky and Izmailovsky regiments, took refuge in the Admiralty, trying to act against the rebels .. However, this select detachment melted before our eyes. On the morning of February 28, Khabalov reported by direct wire to Headquarters: “The number of remaining faithful to duty has decreased to 600 infantry and 500 horsemen with 15 machine guns, 12 guns ... The situation is extremely difficult.” But soon the last remnants of the "loyal" troops joined the workers.

With what speed the revolution in the army grew can be judged from the materials military commission Provisional Committee of the State Duma:

Month and day	time of day	Total number of rebels

	3-6 p.m.	600 people

On the morning of February 27, only the training team of the Volynsky regiment came out with weapons in their hands, but together with the worker-agitators, at the moment they also "promoted" the soldiers of the Lithuanian and Preobrazhensky regiments, the engineer battalion. These units united with the workers of the Vyborg side - the very one where the influence of the Bolsheviks was strong and whose leadership performed the functions of the arrested Petrograd Committee of the RSDLP. The workers raised other units to protest (the Putilov worker G.I. Samoded, dressed in a soldier's uniform to penetrate the Semenovsky regiment) - and in the evening the rebels were joined by the Semenovsky regiment, grenadier, Finnish, 180th, sailors of the 2nd Baltic naval crew and soldiers of other military units.

By March 1, almost all parts of the Petrograd garrison, including the personal guard of the tsar, had gone over to the side of the revolution. Having seized military depots, an arsenal and arms stores, the workers seized about 40,000 rifles, 30,000 revolvers, over 2,000 shells, 2 million cartridges, and even several armored cars. The soldiers of the Preobrazhensky Regiment handed over to the workers 500 rifles and 5 machine guns, a scooter battalion - 2050 rifles, a reserve armored car battalion - 97 machine guns.

And by the evening of February 27, both the Provisional "Committee of the State Duma for the establishment of order in Petrograd and for relations with institutions and persons" and the Provisional Executive Committee of the Soviet of Workers' Deputies were formed, which already at 9 pm held the first meeting of the Council, in which about 40-50 people. The next day there were already more than two hundred deputies of the Council.

The Provisional Committee included: M. V. Rodzianko, V. V. Shulgin (nationalist), P. N. Milyukov (Cadet), N. V. Nekrasov (Cadet), S. I. Shidlovsky (Octobrist), I. I. Dmitryukov (Octobrist), A. I. Konovalov (Progressist), V. A. Rzhevsky (Progressive), V. N. Lvov (rightist), A. F. Kerensky (Trudovik), and N. S. Chkheidze.

The Menshevik Social Democrat N.S. Chkheidze became the Chairman of the Council, and the Menshevik M.I. Skobelev and A.F. .

On the night of February 27-28, two appeals were prepared on behalf of the Provisional Committee and one from the Soviet of Workers' Deputies (the texts are in the book Great Days of the Russian Revolution).

Thus the revolution began. What happened in the following days is described in other materials of this section.

Life Guards Volyn Regiment in the February Bourgeois Revolution

The Life Guards Volyn Regiment was formed on December 7, 1817, when the 1st Battalion of the Life Guards of the Finnish Regiment, seconded to Warsaw after the Foreign Campaign of the Russian Army, was ordered by the Highest Decree to continue to be called the Life Guards Volyn Regiment. By the beginning of World War I (Great) War, he was part of the 2nd brigade of the 3rd Guards Infantry Division of the Russian imperial army. In 1914, from August to early September, the 3rd Guards Infantry Division, as part of the XXIII Army Corps of the Russian Imperial Army, participated in the East Prussian offensive operation, then, from October to mid-December in the Lodz operation, where the 1st, 2nd and 5th Russian armies repulsed the offensive of the shock group of the 9th German army under the command of General August von Mackensen. In 1915, the Volynsky Life Guards Regiment, as part of the Guards Corps, took part in defensive battles for Smorgon. In December 1916, he was recalled from the front (in honor of the regimental holiday) to the capital Russian Empire the city of Petrograd.

The Life Guards Volynsky Regiment was considered the most disciplined regiment in the 3rd Guards Infantry Division and in the entire Russian Imperial Army. The 3rd Guards Infantry Division was famous for its "hard labor discipline" and exemplary appearance of soldiers. By discipline, the commanders achieved the main thing - unquestioning obedience to orders. Discipline was imposed with incredible severity. For example: to visit the restroom, a soldier was obliged to turn to a separated corporal with a report, for improper appearance in verification (boots and buttons on uniforms should be polished to a shine), the soldier was punished with outfits out of turn, a clasp that did not shine (a clip under a belt badge) was punished walking "goose step". In the 3rd Guards Infantry Division, cleaning a clasp to a shine was a routine activity.

Violators of discipline were forced, as mentioned above, to walk with a “goose step”, run around the stable with caps, with belts, with bowlers, with mugs, with footcloths, with socks, with boots in their teeth, or shouting “I'm a fool! I'm a fool! I’m a fool!”, “That’s how they clean the clay! That's how they clean the clay!", "I'm a bullshit! I'm a badass! I'm a badass!"

After such tough training, the soldiers carried out orders without hesitation, automatically, which made it possible to suppress the instinct of self-preservation in battle conditions. And in the Life Guards of the Volynsky Regiment, discipline was imposed even more strongly than in the rest of the 3rd Guards, so the regiment's servicemen always differed in everything: in saluting, marching, in rifle techniques, in every movement. Moreover: discipline was maintained regardless of the losses suffered by the regiment - it was the best in 1916 (seven months before the uprising) and in February 1917 (a few days before the uprising).

The uprising began in the reserve battalion of the Life Guards of the Vodynsky Regiment, where the training team rebelled, in which non-commissioned officers were trained. The commander of the training team was the staff captain Ivan Stepanovich Lashkovich. He was a ruthlessly demanding boss and an excellent driller. In February 1917, he was twenty-six years old.

The instigator of the rebellion was the senior non-commissioned officer Timofey Ivanovich Kirpichnikov. He was also described as a "strict boss". The soldiers nicknamed Kirpichnikov "Fighter". On the night of February 26, 1917, the headquarters captain appointed the senior non-commissioned officer as sergeant major of the 1st company instead of Lieutenant Lukin, who had fallen ill on time. In addition, Kirpichnikov also received the main position of ensign - sergeant major of the main training team (in addition to the main one, there were two more preparatory and one additional).
This decision became fatal for the staff captain I.S. Lashkevich, and for the entire Russian Empire.

The day before, February 24-26, 1917, two companies of the regiment dispersed demonstrators on Znamenskaya Square (now Uprising Square). As Kirpichnikov himself later said, he quietly ordered the soldiers to shoot over the heads of the protesters, and on the night of February 26, 1917, he suggested that the non-commissioned officers of both companies not open fire at all. On the evening of the 26th, he called the platoon and squad leaders of the main training team and suggested that they refuse to pacify the riots. The commanders agreed with the sergeant major's proposal (!) and instructed their subordinates accordingly. Therefore, on the morning of February 27, 1917, the built team broke out of obedience, responding to the greeting of staff captain Lashkevich with a unanimous cry of “hurray” (according to Konstantin Pazhetnykh, a witness to the incident). To the question of the commander of the training team: “What does this mean?” junior non-commissioned officer Mikhail Markov boldly declared: “The soldiers will not carry out the order to shoot (according to the Pazhetnykh version - all Lashkevich’s orders), after which he took the rifle “into his hand”, pointing the bayonet at the staff captain. The soldiers, in turn, demanded that Lashkevich leave. When the staff captain went out into the courtyard, junior non-commissioned officer Markov and corporal Orlov shot from the windows in the back of the departing commander and killed him outright. A different version of events was reported by an officer who later questioned the soldiers about the events of that morning. Lashkevich twice greeted the soldiers, but they twice answered him with silence. Then the staff captain himself went away, and the sergeant major of the training team Kirpichnikov shot him.

Following the murder of Lashkevich, Kirpichnikov persuades the non-commissioned officers of the preparatory teams to join the main one. When the rebels went out into the street, the entire 4th company voluntarily joined them.

The reason for this behavior should be sought in the fact that by October 1916 most of the old-timers died at the front and by February an insignificant number of them remained in the regiment.

The soldiers of the 3rd company, who refused to shoot at the demonstrators on February 26, 1917, and the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd companies were recruits who had served no more than six weeks. The soldiers of the 4th company, which joined the rebels, were drilled longer, from two to five months, but they all got into the regiment from the front, took part in the offensive battles of August-September 1916 in the Vladimir-Volyn direction and therefore returned back to the trenches they were not afraid, just as they were not afraid to reason.

In addition, on February 26, 1917, the inaction of the authorities and the military’s lack of zeal to follow orders became visible. Staff Captain A.V. Tsurikov let the demonstrators through to Znamenskaya. Captain P.N. Gaiman did not react in any way to the refusal of the 2nd preparatory team to shoot at the crowd and allowed it to pass through the Liteiny Bridge to Liteiny Prospekt. However, among the soldiers of the Life Guards of the Volynsky regiment were those who refused to rebel. Part of one of the companies of the Volynians stationed in the barracks of the Life Guards of the 1st Artillery Brigade on Baskova Street (now Korolenko Street) at noon on February 27, 1917, returned to the barracks in an organized manner, when Colonel A.P. Kutepov (in the future, one of the prominent figures of the White movement, pioneer, lieutenant general, commander of the 1st Army Corps V.S.Yu.R., which included the most combat-ready, so-called "colored" units of the White Guard, commander of the 1st th Army (Volunteer) Corps of the Russian Army, Baron P. N. Wrangel After the defeat of the White movement, the emigrant, chairman of the Russian General Military Union (ROVS)) assured the soldiers that they would not be shot.

A different situation developed in the center of the rebellion, in the southeastern part of the Taurida barracks. The assassination of Captain Lashkevich cut off the way back for the rebels. Now they had to go to the end, because, otherwise, a court-martial was waiting for them.

The column of insurgent Volhynians went to the barracks of the 18th engineer battalion - to raise their colleagues stationed there. At this time, the instigator of the rebellion, Kirpichnikov, was informed that machine guns were ahead and he decided to turn the column and go to the Tauride barracks, where the reserve battalions of the Life Guards of the Preobrazhensky and Lithuanian regiments were located. Bursting into the courtyard of the Taurida barracks with firing and shouting "Hurrah", the rebels then persuaded the Lithuanians and Preobrazhenians to join the rebellion for an hour and a half. The situation changed dramatically in favor of the rebels when the senior non-commissioned officer Fyodor Kruglikov mutinied the 4th company of the Preobrazhensky reserve battalion, and the Volynians, following a good tradition, stabbed the head of the workshops, Lieutenant Colonel Bogdanov, with bayonets. Soldier freemen spilled back into the city - to raise other units. The uprising gained momentum.

On Preobrazhenskaya Street, Kirpichnikov easily (!) raised a spare company of the Life Guards Engineer Regiment, at the corner of Kirochnaya and Znamenskaya (now Vosstaniya Street), the troublemakers easily rebelled the 6th reserve engineer battalion, not forgetting to kill its commander, Colonel V.K. von Goering. Moving further along Kirochnaya, at the corner of Nadezhdinskaya (now Mayakovsky Street), the rebels attached to themselves gendarmes (!) From the Petrograd gendarmerie division quartered there and junkers from the Petrograd school of ensigns of engineering troops located obliquely from the division.

The rebellion grew. Crowds of demonstrators began to join the soldiers. Groups of rebels infiltrated the building of the District Court at the corner of Liteiny and Shpalernaya and set it on fire. Arrests and murders of policemen began, deputies authorized from the State Duma led the soldiers to the Tauride Palace.

The February bourgeois-democratic revolution, the success of which was ensured by several dozen passionaries like Kirpichnikov, Markov and Orlov, began ...
