Nevsky Prospekt swayed with a festively dressed crowd, waving and shouting to the orderly rows of knights in gilded cuirass and battle helmets dazzlingly shining in the sun of Northern Palmyra

The famous regiment was on the way!

Hero of Austerlitz, Borodino, Kulm, Leipzig, Ferschampenoise, Causen, Kraupischken, conqueror of Paris, participant of the Brusilov breakthrough.

They gnawed at the bit of their well-fed horses, frenziedly mowed down at the audience with their full eyes, and the sergeant-major of the first squadron fiercely bristled his black as pitch, half-shoulder mustache, casually sitting in the saddle, hanging down on his side like a Cossack.

The regiment consisted of: a regiment commander, 5 squadron commanders, 5 captains, 5 captain-captains, 13 lieutenants, 11 cornet, 5 sergeants, 10 standard-junkers, 60 non-commissioned officers, 660 horsemen in gilded cuirass and helmets dazzlingly shining in the sun, 5 quartermasters, 1 timpani, 1 headquarters trumpeter, 15 trumpeters, etc. - a total of 991 people. Each squadron was divided into 4 platoons. The regiment also had an orchestra of 25 musicians (two bassoons, four French horns, four flutes, two copper pipes, one contrabassoon, one trombone, two serpions, one triangle, cymbals and a tambourine, etc.).

The St. George's standards fluttered with the inscription: "For the difference in the defeat and expulsion of the enemy from the borders of Russia in 1812" and 15 St. George's silver trumpets sounded with the inscription: "Cavalry regiment".

There was one of the most privileged regiments of the Russian Empire, who gave the history of Russian weapons of heroes, whose names are known all over Russia.

At different times of his service to the Fatherland, the chiefs of the regiment of famous horsemen were: Count Gendrikov, Ivan Simonovich, Count, (from 1772) His Serene Highness Prince Orlov, Grigory Grigorievich, Count, later His Serene Highness Prince Tauride Potemkin, Grigory Alexandrovich, Count, later His Serene Prince Zubov, Platon Alexandrovich, Count Musin-Pushkin, Valentin Platonovich, Count Litta, Yuli Pompeevich, Prince Dolgorukov, Vladimir Petrovich 4th, Uvarov, Fedor Petrovich, Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, Emperor Alexander I, Grand Duke heir to Tsarevich Alexander Alexandrovich (from March 2, 1881 - Emperor Alexander III), The last chief of the regiment was Empress Maria Feodorovna.

You can endlessly talk about this regiment, but I want to tell the world about its last days and about my ancestor, who did not betray his duty as a Russian officer, and who accepted a cruel death with his head held high.

The first world war was going on. The Bolshevik infection penetrated the army and ate it from the inside. German spies scurried about in the capital of the empire like mice in the hayloft. International Zionism entangled the economy of a great state with a web of debts, and in the cultural life of the Russian intelligentsia there was futurism professing the principle "The nastier, the better."

The great country was sliding into the abyss of revolution and civil war, which would bring destruction to the flower of the Russian people, degradation and confusion of society, mass emigration. Then there will be the famous Gulagag and millions of nameless victims. The blow inflicted on Russia will be of such force that it will be felt by us, contemporaries of modern history and our fast-growing children.

Since March 1917, the Cavalry Regiment received the task of guarding the Shepetovka and Kazatin railway stations and detaining deserters. On August 30, in Sarny and Kazatin, where divisions of cavalry guards were stationed, rallies were held, the participants of which decided "to express distrust to the entire officer corps." The Commissar of the Special Army ordered: "In view of the acute distrust of the soldiers in the command staff, all officers who are in the ranks by September 1 must leave the regiment to replace them with more democratic ones."

Only three officers remained in the regiment, who experienced the "personal confidence" of the commissar sent to the regiment. The rest decided to leave for Ukraine to participate in the White movement /

By inscrutable ways, through devastation and famine, they reached Kiev, where the commander of the volunteer forces of Ukraine, Count Keller Fyodor Arturovich gathered monarchist-minded officers.

Becoming the commander of Russian volunteer units in Ukraine, Keller began to gather around him Russian monarchists, loyal to the idea of autocracy. He appointed the head of the Defense Council one of the pre-revolutionary leaders of right-wing nationalists, a member of the Markov secret organization "Great United Russia", retired colonel-cavalry guard Fyodor Nikolaevich Bezak, and took Colonel Andrei Andreyevich Panteleev ** to his headquarters as an adjutant.

Count Keller was the only white general who received from His Holiness Patriarch Tikhon through the Bishop of Kamchatka Nestor (Anisimov) a blessing for the armed struggle for the restoration of the monarchy in the form of a neck icon of the Sovereign Mother of God and a prosphora. The choice of the Patriarch is not difficult to explain: General Keller was, perhaps, the only leader of the White Army who openly set himself the goal of "raising the imperial standard over the Holy Kremlin" and was alien to the crafty silence of the command of other White armies.

However, Hetman Pavlo Skoropadsky rejected the idea of restoring the monarchy and the general, who became famous for his heroism in the First World War, refused to command the units subordinate to the hetman proclaimed by the German command

At the end of November, the Pskov monarchists arrived in Kiev on behalf of the Northern Army, which, upon completion of its formation, was preparing to take the oath to the "legitimate Tsar and the Russian state." The regiments introduced the old regulations and the old uniform with the addition of a patch - a white cross on the left sleeve. Keller was asked to lead the army that was being formed in the Vitebsk and Poltava provinces. The general accepted the offer.

However, Keller did not have time to leave for Pskov - the rebels of Semyon Petlyura approached Kiev. Keller took over the leadership of the defense of the city, but due to the impossibility of resistance, he disbanded the armed detachments. The German military suggested that he take off his uniform and weapons and flee to Germany, but Keller did not want to part with either his epaulettes or the award saber received from the emperor. The same did the two adjutants who remained faithful to their general to the end. He completely openly settled in the Mikhailovsky Monastery with two adjutants, one of whom was my ancestor, Colonel-cavalry guard, the last commander of the 4th squadron of the Cavalry regiment, Andrei Andreevich Panteleev. When the Petliurites came to the monastery with a search, contrary to the persuasions of the monks, Count Keller, through his adjutant Colonel Panteleev, announced himself to those who had come. The patrol declared all three arrested.

The interrogations and beatings of the three recalcitrants continued for a whole week. Enraged by the steadfastness of the soldiers and their refusal to join the ranks of Petliura's army, the executioners of the new "non-profit" Ukraine used all means, including bribery, but could not persuade them to treason.

On the night of December 8 (21), 1918, an order was received to transfer Keller and his companions to the Lukyanovskaya prison. They were led along the walls of the St. Sophia Cathedral, past the monument to Bogdan Khmelnitsky, when a volley at the arrested was heard from a nearby park. General Count Fyodor Keller and Captain Ivanov were killed by the first bullets.

Seriously wounded in the chest, Colonel Panteleev, snatching a rifle from the guard, lay down behind the bodies of his dead comrades and took his last battle. Having destroyed 4 Petliurites, Andrei Andreevich launched a bayonet attack and, despite the new wounds received, rushed to catch up with the fleeing Petliurites, hitting the fifth with a bayonet. However, the loss of blood accelerated the decline in strength. Leaning on the rifle, the colonel staggered in the middle of the square, and "Cossacks from the Blue Division" in blue wide trousers and the same color hoods on ram hats were approaching him.

- Put on the colin, Moskal! - shouted the chief of the convoy.

In response, the scolding Gaidamak was cursed from the lips of an officer whom his regiment comrades called "Qatar", who never allowed himself to speak swear words with fellow officers or subordinate soldiers. The noble blood of a pillar nobleman, descending from the commander of a detachment of archers, vidam Languedoc, who made his way with a fight and a handful of brave men from Montsegur, besieged by the papal troops, boiled up, and took the treasures of the Enlightened Cathars, a descendant of the first Pantel, who received the Russian coat of arms from the hands of Alexander Nevsky himself, to Great Russia. Great-grandfather knew exactly how to talk to a boor.

The Petliurites halted in indecision in front of the bleeding officer. They were afraid to approach this wounded two meter giant.

A shot rang out and a bullet hit in the back.

The colonel fell face down to the ground.

The Petliurites pounced on him and finished off with bayonets in the back. They also stabbed the lifeless bodies of Count Keller and Captain Ivanov. The last words of the ancestor were those that he shouted in a hoarse voice: "The destiny will come true!" ….

It may seem to the reader that I attribute unknown facts to this event on the square in Kiev. This is not true. The death of these people is described in detail in the report of the Petliura investigator, who, on the instructions of Petliura, conducted an investigation into this case. The death of such a famous person in Russia as General Keller could not pass unnoticed. And Simon tried to be bleached for history. Therefore, what was described has both eyewitnesses indicated in the report and the resolution of Petliura himself - “Heroes! Give the bodies to the monks of Mikhailovsky. Let them bury them with honor. Of course, it was written in Ukrainian, but I am translating it for the readers verbatim.

… Suddenly, the Petliurites stopped. In the middle of the night, the bell of the St. Michael's Golden-Domed Cathedral rang out, Sofia responded and a bell ringing floated over Kiev, and in the air (at night !!!) the wings of a huge bird that flew in the light of the lights over Mikhailovskaya Square flapped. The souls of three unconquered heroes flew away …

… In 1209, Pope Innocent III called for a crusade against the Cathars. The crusade, called the Albigensian (from the name of the Qatari city of Albi), was distinguished by extraordinary cruelty and claimed thousands of human lives, both Cathars and ordinary Christians. During this time, the Cathars began to fortify their castles, such as Montsegur in the south of modern France, which were usually used as places for collective prayers. During the crusade, Montsegur became the last refuge of the Cathars. In 1243, the siege of Montsegur began, but the difficult mountainous terrain did not contribute to the successes of the crusaders. The Cathars finally surrendered on March 2, 1244. This happened after ten months of the siege. During this time, many of the besiegers adopted the Qatari faith and joined the defenders of the fortress. Under the terms of the surrender, the Cathars were given 15 days to prepare for their fate. On the night before they had to surrender, four Cathars with a detachment of the best surviving warriors under the command of Wilhelm (Vladislav) La Pantel, secretly disappeared from the fortress, taking with them the Cathar treasures. Until now, it is not known for certain what these treasures were, but this issue has been discussed more than once in the pages of numerous books. It has been suggested that among other jewels was the legendary Holy Grail, the fabulous "talking head" of the Templars, also known as Baphomet, the most important objects of the Qatari religious cult, scriptures or. However, these four Cathars could have been this most important treasure. On the day of the surrender of the fortress, all 205 Cathars who were within the walls of Montsegur were led into a mountain valley and burned at the stake. None of them will accept the offer of the papal envoy to accept life in exchange for renouncing their faith and embracing Catholicism. Among them was the last bishop of the Cathar Church - ancient Russian Orthodoxy, Bertrand Marty, who uttered before his death at the stake the phrase: "The destiny will come true!"

At Monsegur there was a crushing defeat of the prince of Catholic Rome, the Roman bishop, who calls himself "pope." While he was gathering hordes of crusaders against the innocent and defenseless Cathars, who had never resorted to the language of violence and weapons, a new fiery army of Christ was already being born here. Who are they - these beautiful noble souls, which the earth has not yet given birth to? I would like to repeat their names like music, although there is not a word about them in earthly chronicles. The kindest kind "weaving cross", and around it the names of the Qatari Wedding: the highest of the initiates, the sweetest fathers Raymond de Saint-Martin, Bishop Bertrand and Raymond Eguyère. Duc de Dufour, Paida de Plain, Pierre Bonnet, Father Nome (Cathar bishop of Florence), Gulien de Lavalagnet (Italy), Daniel (Bishop of the Bogomils in Bosnia), Blanca de Lorac (one of the abbess of the feminine monasteries), Arno de Castelverden (noble Languedoc aristocrat, the most convinced Cathar), Bernard de la Motte (the Cathar bishop of Toulouse, the purest light: when burned he did not make a sound and three executioners fell dead, slain by angel swords), Beranger de Puisergie, Beranger de Lacorbier (Bertrand de Lacorbier, Bertrand bishop, permanent leader and comforter of the monastery of Montsegur), Patricia de Lantard, who was burned with her husband in Montsegur …

Likewise, the holy wives of the Grail … Sister of Count Foix Exclarmond ("High Light to the World") and a whole galaxy of myrrh-bearing saints. Exclarmond was three, one more beautiful than the other: Exclarmond de Graves - daughter of the domain (owner) of Montsegur Raymond, the quietest, most blessed; Exclarmonda de Foix - passionate, perfect, ardent, expansive sister of Count Raymond Roger: constantly fearlessly testifying about the Cathars; third Exclarmond Nyorskaya, 28 years old - Perfect.

The reader should not be surprised at the "European" names of the Slavs burned to death in Montsegur.

These are the names given to them by their possessions, located in this part of France and the Perinees. In fact, they are all Fedors and Ivans - Russian people who performed military duty in Europe conquered by Great Tartary. THE DEFENDERS OF MONSEGUR THIS IS ONE OF THE GARRIZONS OF RUSSIA-HORDA-GREAT TARTARIAN STANDING IN ALL EUROPE CONQUERED BY THE RUSSIANS, WHICH PRESENTED ANCIENT ORTHODOXY - GODOMILISM..

As the legend says, when the "fighters against heretics", by the Pope's decree, pounced on the castle of the saints, the earth parted and received the Holy Grail, and the Holy Grail Keeper, the Virgin of Exclarmond, turned into a dove and flew away into the heavens.

The coat of arms of my family is a silver swan standing in the green of the meadow. This coat of arms was granted to Pantelya, the Holy Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky, in memory of the battle cap of the first Panteleev - a helmet with a silver swan depicted on it.

So I believe that on that distant and terrible night, the death of the Russian officers of the monarchists and their general, it was he, proud and silvery, who flew over them, taking their souls. Qatar, who left Montsegur, joined the Enlightened Ones who accepted a cruel death at the walls of the Orthodox cathedral in Kiev.

"The destiny will come true!" - Andrei Andreevich Panteleev left with this phrase. I will leave with her at the appointed hour, and I am his descendant.

• On the splash screen, there is a photo of Andrei Andreevich Panteleev in the uniform of a second lieutenant of the Cavalry Regiment with the sign of the end of the Alexandrovsky (Tsarskoye Selo) Lyceum on the right side of his uniform, ** Andrei Panteleev was born into a noble family, his parents were Andrei Vasilievich and Maria Vladimirovna Panteleevs (nee Rodzianko, sister of the chairman of the State Duma, maid of honor of the imperial court). He studied at the Alexander Lyceum, graduating in 1902. Then he entered the regiment of Her Majesty's Cavalier Empress Maria Feodorovna. On September 26, 1904, with the rank of cornet, he was appointed assistant chief of the training team. Participated in the Russo-Japanese War, being in the Nizhyn Dragoon Regiment, was awarded the Order of St. Anna, IV degree. Responding to the revolutionary events of 1905, Panteleev joined the monarchist organization that was being created in the regiments of the guard. In the First World War, he commanded the fourth squadron of the Cavalry Regiment with the rank of colonel.

After the October Revolution, when the Cavalry Regiment was disbanded, Panteleev became a member of N. Ye. Markov's secret monarchist organization "Great United Russia", holding the position of one of Markov's assistants in the military. He was sent to Kiev, where he entered the army of the Ukrainian State of Hetman P. P. Skoropadsky, and then became an adjutant of the headquarters of General F. A. Keller, commander of Russian volunteer units in Ukraine. During the capture of Kiev, the Petliurites remained with Count Keller, together with him trying to assemble detachments from the officers remaining in the city, he was captured and on December 21, 1918, he was meanly killed along with Keller and the staff-captain N. N. Ivanov.
