"Here is a beautiful, slender, formidable infantry! The main protection, a strong stronghold of the Fatherland! These are heroes who carry death inevitable! -recalled the famous "cavalry-girl" N.A. Durov. -The cavalryman will scatter, retire, wounds, swings, turn back, kills sometimes, but in all his movements some mercy of the enemy shines: these are only the precursors of death! But the system of infantry is death! A terrible, inevitable death! " It was the Russian infantry that issued the main severity of the Patriotic War of 1812, gaining immortal glory. It was the infantry regiments that were a "background" of defense and the main shock force in the offensive. Their excellent organization and combat training, multiplied by the features of a national character - stamina, courage, endurance, unpretentiousness - created an indestructible alloy: one and a half centuries of Russian bayonet stroke could not withstand a single opponent. And as the Russian army after the defeat of Napoleon was recognized as the best in the world, so our infantry was rightfully considered the most formidable and invincible ...
