Uniforms of military personnel. Military uniforms of soldiers and officers of the second world war

Military Official's Tunic

Throughout its history, the Russian military uniform has undergone many changes, improvements and innovations. This was due to the will of the ruler, a change in ideology, the influence of Western European military fashion.

Most Russian emperors were adherents of military fashion Western Europe, therefore, the Russian military uniform was often similar to the uniforms of other European armies. And only Emperor Alexander III gave the military uniform the appearance of a national dress.

Pre-Petrine era

In Russia before late XVII v. there were almost no permanent troops, so there were no military uniforms either. The princes' squads were dressed in the same clothes as civilians, only armor was added.

True, some princes sometimes acquired uniform clothing for their squads, but these were isolated cases.

The government of Tsar Michael in 1631, awaiting war with Poland, sent Colonel Alexander Leslie to Sweden to hire 5,000 infantry soldiers.

In the 17th century, during the reign of Alexei Mikhailovich, "Regiments of a foreign system" were formed - military units formed from "eager" free people, Cossacks, foreigners and others, and later from ordinary people on the model of Western European armies.

The first unified military uniform in Russia can be considered the clothing of the rifle regiments. They appeared in the 17th century.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius- a serviceman; a rider or infantryman armed with a "fiery battle". The archers in Russia made up the first regular army.

The rifle regiments had a uniform and obligatory ceremonial uniform (“colored dress”). It consisted of an upper caftan, a hat with a fur band, trousers and boots, the color of which (except for trousers) was regulated in accordance with the belonging to a particular regiment.

Caftan- top men's clothing.

Common in the weapons and clothing of all archers:

• gloves with leggings of brown leather;
• on the march the muzzle was squeaky or the musket was covered with a short leather cover;
• the reed was worn behind the back over any shoulder;
• a sash was put on over the waist belt;
• there were no buttonholes on the marching caftan;
• external distinction of senior officers (" initial people») There was an image of a crown on a cap and a staff embroidered with pearls, as well as an ermine lining of the upper caftan and the edge of the cap (which indicated a noble princely origin).

The dress uniform was worn only in special days: during major church holidays and special occasions.

Everyday and in military campaigns, a "wearable dress" was used, which had the same cut as the dress uniform, but made of a cheaper cloth of gray, black or Brown color.

During the struggle for power, the rifle regiments opposed Peter I and were repressed by him. The form of the European model in Russia was introduced by Peter I, basically borrowing it from the Swedes.

The era of Peter I

Peter I created a regular army on the basis of the "Regiments of the foreign system" that existed during the reign of his father, and the streltsy units. The army was recruited on the basis of conscription (compulsory service of the nobles was also preserved until the middle of the 18th century). Peter inherited from his predecessors an army already adapted for further reconstruction. In Moscow there were two "elective" regiments (Butyrsky and Lefortovsky), which were commanded by "foreigners" P. Gordon and F. Lefort.

In his "amusing" villages, Peter arranged two new regiments: Preobrazhensky and Semyonovsky, completely according to a foreign model. By 1692, these regiments were finally trained and made up the 3rd Moscow elective regiment, headed by General A.M. Golovin.

At first, the officer's uniform of the Petrine army was no different from the soldier's. Then they introduced a "commander's insignia" - an officer's scarf. This detail was borrowed from the Swedes, with the exception of the coloring, which reproduced the colors of the Russian flag. According to the rules, the scarf was worn over the right shoulder and tied at the left hip, but our officers adapted to wear it around the waist - it was more comfortable in battle. The Petrovsky scarf with changes has survived to the present - in the form of a ceremonial officer's belt.

Grenadier of an infantry regiment from 1700 to 1732

The armament of each soldier consisted of a sword with a sword belt and a fuse. Fusey - a gun, the Fusée's castle was flint; sat on the fusee in necessary cases baguette is a five- or eight-point three-edged bayonet. The cartridges were placed in leather bags attached to the sling.

Captenarmus and Ensign of the Musketeer Companies of the Infantry Regiment from 1763 to 1786

Captenarmus and the sergeants were armed with halberds instead of fuzei - axes on a three-articulated shaft.

Sergeant of the Infantry Regiment with a halberd from 1700 to 1720

One of the companies in each regiment was called a grenadier, and a feature of its armament was the fuse bombs, which were kept by the grenadier in a special bag. Grenadiers- selected units of infantry and / or cavalry, designed to storm enemy fortifications, mainly in siege operations.

Dragoons- the name of the cavalry (cavalry), which is also capable of operating on foot. Dragoons in Russia were horse and foot service.

Since 1700, the uniform of a soldier consisted of a small flattened bright cocked hat, a caftan, an epanchi, a camisole and trousers.

Cocked hat

Epancha- a wide sleeveless round cloak with a hood for men, and for women - a short, sleeveless coat (obepanechka). Imported from the Arab East.

Camisole- men's clothing, sewn at the waist, knee-length, sometimes sleeveless worn under a caftan.

The hat was black, the edges of the brim were trimmed with braid, and a brass button was attached to the left side. When listening to orders from the elders, the younger ones took off their hat and held it under their left armpit. The soldiers and officers wore hair long to the shoulder, and on ceremonial occasions they powdered it with flour.

The infantrymen's caftans were of green cloth, the dragoons were of blue, single-breasted, without a collar, with red cuffs (a lapel on the sleeve of men's clothing).

The caftan was knee-length and was supplied with brass buttons; The epancha for cavalry and infantry was made of red cloth and had two collars: it was a narrow cape that reached the knees and did not protect well from rain and snow; boots - long, with light sockets (funnel-shaped expansion) were worn only on guard and during the campaign, and stockings and blunt-nosed greasy heads with a copper buckle were ordinary shoes; army soldiers had stockings Green colour, and among the Transfiguration and Semyonovites after the Narva defeat - red, according to legend, in memory of the day when the former "amusing" regiments did not flinch, with general "confusion" under the onslaught of Charles XII.

The guard grenadiers differed from the fusiliers (soldiers armed with flintlock rifles) only in a headdress: instead of a triangular hat, they wore leather helmets with an ostrich feather.

The cut of the officer's uniform was the same as that of the soldiers, only trimmed around the edges and along the side with gold galloon, the buttons were also gilded, the tie, instead of black cloth, like the soldiers, was white linen. Attached to the hat plume made of white and red feathers.

In full dress, officers were required to have powdered wigs on their heads. He also distinguished the officer from the private with a white-blue-red scarf with silver tassels, and the headquarters officer with gold tassels, which was worn high on his chest, at the collar.

Under Peter I in Russia, epaulettes also appeared on military clothing. The shoulder straps have been used as a means of distinguishing the servicemen of one regiment from the servicemen of another regiment since 1762, when shoulder straps of various weaving from a yarn cord were installed for each regiment. At the same time, an attempt was made to make the shoulder strap a means of distinguishing between soldiers and officers, for which in the same regiment officers and soldiers had different weaving of shoulder straps.

In the future, the form of uniforms changed, although in general the samples of Peter the Great were preserved, which became more and more complicated. After Seven Years War the cult of Frederick the Great was formed. Convenience in the form of uniforms was forgotten; they tried to make the soldier look good and give him such an outfit that the maintenance of which would take all his free time from service in order. Especially a lot of time was required for the soldiers to keep their hair in order: they were combed into two curls and a braid, they were powdered on foot, and on horseback it was allowed not to powder the hair and not curl it in curling, taking it into one dense braid, but it was required to grow and brush your mustache high or, who does not have one, have fake ones.

The soldier's clothes were narrow, which was caused by the requirement of the then stance and especially marching without bending the knees. Many units of the troops had moose trousers, which were moistened and dried in public before being put on. This uniform was so inconvenient that in the instruction for training, the recruit was instructed to put it on no earlier than three months later, in order to teach the soldiers how to use such clothes.

The era of Catherine II

During the reign of Catherine II, the uniform was not followed very carefully. The guards officers were weary of it and did not wear it at all outside the formation. It was changed at the end of Catherine's reign at the insistence of Prince Potemkin. He said that “curling, powdering, weaving braids - is this a soldier's business? Everyone must agree that it is more useful to wash and scratch your head than to burden it with powder, bacon, flour, hairpins, and braids. The soldier's toilet should be such that it is up and ready. " The uniform of the army was simplified and consisted of a wide uniform and trousers tucked into high boots; the cocked hat was replaced for the soldiers by a helmet with a longitudinal ridge, which well protected the head from a saber strike, but did not save from the cold.

But in the cavalry, and especially in the guards, the uniform remained shiny and uncomfortable as before, although complex hairstyles and leggings disappeared from the usual uniform of the troops.

The era of Paul I

Paul I carried out his own army reform, because discipline in the regiments suffered, ranks were handed out undeservedly (noble children from birth were assigned to a rank, to a particular regiment. Many, having a rank and receiving a salary, did not serve at all). Paul I decided to follow Peter the Great and take as a basis the model of a modern European army (Prussian), seeing in it an example of discipline and perfection. Military reform was not stopped even after Paul's death.

S. Shchukin "Portrait of Emperor Paul I in a ceremonial uniform and a cocked hat"

The uniform consisted of a wide and long uniform with folds and a turn-down collar, narrow and short pants, patent leather shoes, stockings with garters and boot-like boots, and a small triangular hat. The shelves differed in the color of the collars and cuffs, but without any system, they were difficult to remember and poorly distinguished.

Hairstyles are gaining importance again - soldiers powder their hair and braid it in regular length braids with a bow at the end; the hairstyle was so complicated that hairdressers were brought into the army.

Buckles are not guns

A scythe is not a cleaver

I am not a Prussian, but a natural hare!

Grenadier of the Pavlovsk regiment

The grenadiers wore high cone-shaped caps (grenadiers) with a large metal shield in front; These hats, like a ceremonial headdress, were preserved in the Pavlovsky Life Guards regiment.

According to eyewitnesses, the soldiers on the march suffered most of all from lacquered shoes and tight trousers, which rubbed their legs.

The era of Alexander I

Emperor Alexander I was a supporter of a magnificent military uniform, which became even more uncomfortable. The Pavlovsk form in 1802 was replaced by a new one. Wigs were destroyed, boots and shoes were replaced with boots with trouser clasps; the uniforms were significantly shortened, narrowed and looked like tailcoats (the coattails on the uniforms were left, but the soldiers had them short); solid standing collars and shoulder straps and epaulettes were introduced; the officers' collars were decorated with sewing or buttonholes and were generally colored; the shelves were distinguished by their colors. Light and comfortable cocked hats were replaced by new hats, tall, heavy and very uncomfortable; they wore common name shakos, while the straps on the shakos and the collar rubbed the neck.

Shako- a cylindrical military headdress, with a flat top, with a visor, often decorated with a sultan. Was common in many European armies early XIX century.

The highest command personnel were assigned to wear the then popular bicorns of huge sizes with feathers and edging. In winter, it was warm in the two-cornered hat, but in summer it was very hot, so the peakless cap also became popular in the warm season.

S. Shchukin "Alexander I in the uniform of the Preobrazhensky Life Guards Regiment"

Shoulder straps were first introduced only in the infantry (red), then the number of colors was brought to five (red, blue, white, dark green and yellow, in the order of the regiments of the division); officer's shoulder straps were trimmed with galloon, and in 1807 they were replaced with epaulettes.

D. Dow "Portrait of General Peter Bagration with epaulets"

Epaulettes- shoulder insignia military rank on a military uniform. Were common in armies European countries in the XVIII-XIX centuries, especially during the Napoleonic wars. By the middle of the 20th century, they practically went out of circulation.

Subsequently, epaulettes were also given to the lower ranks of some cavalry units.

Pavlov's cloaks were replaced by narrow overcoats with standing collars that did not cover the ears. The equipment included a mass of belts, which was difficult to maintain. The uniform was complex and heavy to wear.

From the day of accession to the throne of Alexander I until 1815, officers were allowed to wear a particular dress outside of service; but at the end overseas trip due to fermentation in the army, this right was canceled.

The era of Nicholas I

Under Nicholas I, uniforms and overcoats were at first still very narrow, especially in cavalry - officers even had to wear corsets; you couldn't put anything under your overcoat. The collars of the uniform were fastened tightly and strongly propped up the head. The shakos were too tall, during parades they were decorated with sultans, so that the entire headdress was about 73.3 cm high.

Wide trousers (woolen in winter and linen in summer) were worn over boots; under them, boots with five or six buttons were put on, since the boots were very short. The ammunition of white and black lacquered belts required constant cleaning. A huge relief was the permission to wear, first out of order, and then on the march, caps similar to the present ones. The variety of forms was great.

Chief Officer of the Volyn Life Guards Regiment (1830)

Only from 1832 did simplifications in the form of uniforms begin: in 1844 heavy and uncomfortable shako was replaced by high helmets with a sharp top, officers and generals began to wear caps with visors; the troops were supplied with mittens and headphones. Since 1832, officers of all types of weapons have been allowed to wear mustaches, and officers' horses are not allowed to trim their tails or trim their heads.

V last years of the reign of Nicholas, the uniform acquired instead of the French Prussian cut: ceremonial helmets with ponytails were introduced for officers and generals, uniforms for the guards were sewn from dark blue or black cloth, coattails on army uniforms became short, and white trousers became sew on red stripes, as in the Prussian army.

In 1843, on the soldier's shoulder straps, transverse stripes were introduced - stripes, according to which ranks were distinguished.

In 1854, shoulder straps were also introduced for officers. Since that time, the gradual displacement of epaulettes by shoulder straps began.

The era of Alexander II

I. Tyurin "Alexander II in the form of the Preobrazhensky Life Guards Regiment"

The troops received a convenient form of uniform only during the reign of Emperor Alexander II. She had a beautiful and spectacular look and was at the same time spacious and allowed the insulation to be pushed on in cold weather. In February 1856 tailcoat-like uniforms were replaced by full-skirt uniforms. The cavalry retained the shiny uniforms and their colors, but the cut was made more comfortable. All received spacious overcoats with a turn-down collar that covered the ears with fabric buttonholes; the collars of the uniforms were lowered and widened.

The army uniform was first double-breasted, then single-breasted. Trousers were worn in boots only on a campaign, then at the lower ranks always; in summer, the trousers were made of linen.

Beautiful, but uncomfortable helmets remained only with the cuirassiers and the guard, who, in addition, had caps without visors. The ceremonial and ordinary headdress was a cap. Lancers continued to wear diamond-topped shakos.

A convenient and practical hood was introduced, which helped the soldier in the winter. Satchels and bags were lightened, the number and width of straps for carrying them were reduced, the soldier's burden was lightened.

The era of Alexander III

I. Kramskoy "Portrait of Alexander III"

By the early 70s of the XIX century. hair cut was required short. The uniforms of this era were quite comfortable. The emperor strove to nationalize the military uniform. Only the Guards cavalry retained their former rich clothing. The new outfit was based on the uniformity and comfort of wear and fit. The headdress, both in the guards and in the army, consisted of a low, round lamb's cap with a cloth bottom; the cap is decorated in the guards with the St. Andrew's star, in the army - with the coat of arms.

A uniform with a standing collar in the army with a straight back and a side without any edging was fastened with hooks, which could be freely altered by widening or narrowing the uniform. The guards uniform had an oblique side with edging, a colored high collar and the same cuffs; the uniform of the cavalry, with its transformation exclusively into dragoon regiments (except for the guards), became similar to the uniform of the infantry, only somewhat shorter.

Lamb ceremonial hat

The lamb's ceremonial hat resembled an ancient boyarka. Wide trousers tucked into high boots. In the army, greatcoats were fastened with hooks so that in sunny weather a shiny object would not draw the attention of the enemy and cause fire. For the same reason, sultans and helmets with shiny coats of arms were canceled. In the guard, greatcoats were fastened with buttons. In the infantry and other types of weapons, caps with bands were introduced, the difference between one regiment from another was based on a combination of colors of shoulder straps and bands. The division from the division differed in numbers on the shoulder straps.

V. Vereshchagin "Officer of the line battalion in a white jacket and red trousers"

Alexander II introduced tunics and linen shirts for wearing in hot weather, and Alexander III made sure that the soldier's uniform resembled peasant clothes. In 1879, a shirt with a stand-up collar was introduced for soldiers, like a shirt-shirt.

The era of Nicholas II

G. Manizer "Portrait of Emperor Nicholas II in the uniform of the 4th Infantry Imperial Family of the Life Guards Regiment with the insignia of the Order of St. Vladimir IV degree"

Emperor Nicholas II almost did not change the uniforms. The uniforms of the guards cavalry regiments of the era of Alexander II were only gradually restored. The officers of the entire army were given a galloon (instead of a simple leather, introduced Alexander III) shoulder harness.

A. Pershakov “Portrait of P.S. Vannovsky "(the harness is visible)

For troops southern districts the ceremonial headdress was considered too heavy and was replaced by an ordinary cap, to which a small metal coat of arms is attached.

Most significant changes followed only in the army cavalry. The modest uniform without buttons at the beginning of the reign of Nicholas II was replaced by a more beautiful double-breasted uniform, sewn at the waist and with colored piping along the side. The shako was introduced for the guards regiments.

In each cavalry division, regiments are given the same colors: the first is red, the second is blue, and the third is white. The previous colors remained only in those shelves for which some historical memory was associated with their color.

Ceremonial cap of the era of Nicholas II

The caps were also changed: they began to make colored crowns, not the bands, so that the color of the regiment could be seen at a great distance, and visors were given to all the lower ranks.

In 1907, following the results Russo-Japanese War in the Russian army introduced as summer uniform single-breasted khaki jacket with a stand-up collar on hooks, with a five-button fastening, with pockets on the chest and on the sides (the so-called "American" cut). The white jacket of the previous model is out of use.

In aviation, on the eve of the war, a blue jacket was adopted as a workwear.

A corporal (1) in a uniform of the 1943 model. The insignia from the buttonholes were transferred to the shoulder straps. The SSh-40 helmet became widespread since 1942. Around the same time, submachine guns began to arrive in the troops in massive quantities. This corporal is armed with a 7.62-mm Shpagin submachine gun - PPSh-41 - with a 71-round drum magazine. Spare magazines in pouches on a waist belt next to a pouch for three hand grenades. In 1944, along with the drum magazine for the PPSh-41, a 35-round horn magazine began to be produced, which was also suitable for the PPS-43. Carob magazines were carried in pouches in three compartments. Grenades were usually carried in pouches on a waist belt. By the beginning of the war, there were pouches for one grenade, in this case the F-1 (For) grenade is shown. More practical pouches for three grenades appeared later, shown is a pouch with a fragmentation grenade RG-42 (Зb). Pouches with two compartments were intended for high-explosive grenades RGD-33, here is shown a grenade with a fragmentation ring (Zs) on.

A new type of pot (6), similar to the German model. Enamel mug (7). Due to the lack of aluminum, the troops encountered glass flasks with a cork stopper (8).
