General Tormasov. Tormasov Alexander Petrovich Commander Tormasov
Tormasov Alexander Petrovich- the commander who was the first to defeat the troops of Napoleon in the "storm of the 12th year." From an old noble family, known since the 16th century. Son of Fleet Lieutenant Pyotr Ivanovich Tormasov. He was educated at home: he knew Russian, French and German. At the age of 10, he was assigned as a page to the Imperial Court, and in 1772 he entered military service as a lieutenant in the Vyatka Infantry Regiment.
However, Alexander did not immediately know the prose of army service in its entirety, being first an adjutant of the captain's rank, and then an adjutant general of a major's rank under Count J. A. Bruce. In 1777, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, he was appointed commander of the battalion of the Finnish Jaeger Corps. The campaign of Russian troops in 1782 in the Crimea became a baptism of fire for him.
In 1783, he was entrusted with the command of the Dalmatian Hussar Regiment, which the following year was reorganized into the Alexandria Light Horse Regiment. The rank of colonel receives in 32 years.
At the beginning of the 2nd Turkish war (1787 -1792) he was in the Yekaterinoslav army. With his regiment he was at the siege of the Ochakovo fortress, participated in the battle of Causeni, the capture of Akkerman and Bendery. For military distinctions in 1789 he was promoted to brigadier, and in the last year (1791) - to major general.
At the end of the war, Tormasov "probably distinguished himself" in the battles near Babadag, commanding a cavalry brigade from the Alexandria and Kherson light horse regiments. In the battle of Machinsky, he successfully commanded the cavalry of the left wing of the Russian troops. For participation in the case under Machin, which ended in complete defeat for the Turks, he was awarded the Order of St. George immediately of the 3rd degree.
During the 2nd Polish War, with several light-horse regiments, he defeated the enemy at the town of Mobar, and on September 28, 1794, in the battle of Maciowicz, he commanded the left flank of the main forces. During the assault on Prague (a suburb of Warsaw), he led one of the columns. For the first case, he was awarded the Order of St. Vladimir, 2nd degree, for the second - the Golden Weapon (sword) with the inscription "For Courage", decorated with diamonds. In 1798 he received the rank of lieutenant general.
In the reign of Paul I in June 1799, for impudent recall and disobedience to the senior commander, Tormasov was "expelled from service", arrested and imprisoned for several months in the Dinamunde fortress. But in 1800 he was again appointed commander of the Life Guards Horse Regiment. In July 1801, he received the post of cavalry inspector of the Dniester inspection, in September of the same year he was promoted to general from the cavalry.
In 1803 he was appointed governor-general of Kyiv, in 1807 - of Riga. In December of the same year, he retired.
The resignation was short-lived. In June 1808, the holder of the Military Order was returned to service, and three months later he became commander in chief of the Caucasian fortified line in Georgia, which became part of Russia.
Tormasov showed tireless energy, the ability to direct the actions of his troops and the ability to choose performers. Thanks to this, success gradually leaned towards Russia. Having taken the fortress of Poti and thereby eliminating the influence of the Turks on Abkhazia and Imeretia, Tormasov brought peace to them. In Dagestan, attempts at an uprising were crushed.
Tormasov's closest associates - Kotlyarevsky, Lisanevich and Simanovich - inflicted several decisive defeats on the Turks and Persians and thereby ensured the calm of the southern border of Russia.
He was awarded the Order of St. Vladimir of the highest, 1st degree.
During the Patriotic War of 1812, Tormasov commanded the 3rd observational army (54 battalions, 76 squadrons, 9 Cossack regiments, 43 thousand in total), designed to contain Austria.
Troops under the command of cavalry general A.P. Tormasov surrounded, defeated and captured the Saxon brigade of General Klengel (Korbin).
Emperor Alexander I highly appreciated the victorious initiative of Russian weapons in the outbreak of the war against Napoleonic France. Tormasov was awarded for the victory at Korbin by the commander's Military Order of the Holy Great Martyr and Victorious George, 2nd degree. Alexander Petrovich was praised as a hero of the army in the field. In honor of the Korbinsky victory in St. Petersburg, an artillery salute was fired.
Rainier, having gathered his troops and joined with Schwarzenberg, attacked Tormasov near Gorodechno. On August 1, Russian troops retreated first to Kobrin, and then to Lutsk, to join the Danube army, which was marching to Russia after the conclusion of the Bucharest peace with the Ottoman Porte.
In September, the armies united and forced Schwarzenberg to hastily retreat to Brest. Soon, command of the united armies passed to Admiral Chichagov, and Tormasov was recalled to the main headquarters, where he was entrusted with the internal command and control of the troops and their organization.
Tormasov took part in the battles near Maloyaroslavets, Vyazma, Krasny and with the main army crossed the border of the empire in December 1812. During the Patriotic War, the only holder of the Order of the Holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called was General A.P. Tormasov for his distinction in the battle of Krasnoe. When Kutuzov, due to illness, remained in Bunzlau, Tormasov temporarily assumed the main command of the army.
Soon, his failing health forced him to ask for a discharge; he was appointed a member of the State Council, and in 1814 - Governor-General of Moscow. On August 30, 1816, he was elevated to the dignity of a count.
His merits in returning the ancient city to its former appearance, as in the Patriotic War, were great. The uniform of the commander was decorated, in addition to the orders of St. Andrew the First-Called and St. George, also the domestic orders of St. Vladimir of the 1st degree, St. Alexander Nevsky with diamonds, St. Anna of the 1st degree.
Died in 1819. (Report of the Moscow Governor E. A. Durasov on the death of the Governor-General A. P. Tormasov. 1819).
He was buried with all the military honors due to him in the Church of the Most Holy Theotokos of the Donskoy Monastery in Moscow.
According to a contemporary, Tormasov was tall and handsome in his youth. “A dandy from his youth, even in his advanced years he was meticulous in dress and showed himself like that in war and battles. His irascible temper was tempered by good nature. With strict frugality, he loved glitter; subordinates did not easily win awards from him. From them he demanded diligence, strict order and precision. “As a commander, he did not blind with brilliant qualities, but he knew how to extract victory from a deep consideration of the circumstances, terrain and forces of the enemy; I considered it a win even if the opponent does not find the means of victory. When it was necessary to fight for victory, he did not hesitate for a minute to join the battle.
From marriage (since 1797) with Luisa Filippovna von Geiking, the widow of Lieutenant Colonel Dirin, he had the only son Alexander Alexandrovich (1806 -1839), a chamber junker, an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with whose death the count branch of the noble family of Tormasovs was stopped.

Patriotic War of 1812
Tormasov was promoted to the ranks of heroes by the victory near Kobrin. Kobrin entered the history of the Patriotic War of 1812 as the city where the first indisputable victory of the Russian army over the troops of Napoleon Bonaparte was won on July 27, 1812. The 3rd observational army under the command of A.P. Tormasov was in the very rear and covered the southwestern regions of Russia and the Kiev direction. She was opposed by the Austrian and Saxon corps of Generals Schwarzenberg and Renier. Napoleon significantly miscalculated in his judgments and underestimated the strength and spirit of Tormasov and his army. According to Tormasov's plan, two detachments led by generals K.O. Lambert and A.G. Shcherbatov, they were supposed to reach Brest-Litovsk on July 13 by different roads, capture the city and turn to Kobrin. At the same time, the main forces of the 3rd Western Army, led by Tormasov, were to approach Kobrin from the south. Another detachment under the command of Melissino was tasked with making a diversionary maneuver in the direction of Pinsk. The troops of Lambert, Shcherbatov, Chaplits brilliantly coped with the tasks assigned to them. The enemy was surrounded. From the south it was covered by the main forces under the command of Tormasov himself.

The battle for the small town of Corbin lasted 9 hours. The stubborn resistance offered by the brigade of General Klengel, who was called upon to hold Kobrin, was broken. After the battle, General Tormasov, as a sign of respect for the courage shown by the Saxons, returned the swords to all captured officers.
This unprecedented and glorious victory of the Russian troops caused a storm of delight in the Russian Empire. Emperor Alexander I highly appreciated the victorious initiative of Russian weapons in the outbreak of the war against Napoleonic France. Tormasov was awarded for the victory at Korbin by the commander's Military Order of the Holy Great Martyr and Victorious George, 2nd degree. Alexander Petrovich was praised as a hero of the army in the field. In honor of the Korbinsky victory in St. Petersburg, an artillery salute was fired.
Rainier, having gathered his troops and joined with Schwarzenberg, attacked Tormasov near Gorodechno. On August 1, Russian troops retreated first to Kobrin, and then to Lutsk, to join the Danube army, which was marching to Russia after the conclusion of the Bucharest peace with the Ottoman Porte. In September, the armies united and forced Schwarzenberg to hastily retreat to Brest.

It was he, as commander of the third army on July 15 (27), 1812 near Kobrin, inflicted the first defeat on Napoleon's troops entering Russia, for which he received a special mention in the order of the emperor, who demanded "to put an end to Tormasov." The 7th corps of General Renier and the powerful corps of General Schwarzenberg moved to help the defeated Saxon brigade - Tormasov's army pulled back significant enemy forces, weakening him in the main direction. In battle With according to Tormasov's report, up to 2 thousand Saxons died, General Klengel and 2300 soldiers and officers were captured, 8 guns were captured. The Russians lost 77 people and 181 were injured. A little bit later,in the battle of Gorodechno, the 18,000th army of Tormasov confidently repulsed the attacks of the 40,000th army of the enemy and retreated in an organized manner to join Chichagov's Transdanubian army. Tormasov received orderSaint George 2nd degree and 50 thousand rubles. After joining the armies, Chichagov became commander, and Tormasov was recalled to the main headquarters for internal command and organization of troops. Saint George was not his only reward in the 1812 campaign. For the battle near Krasnoye, Tormasov was awarded the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called, and he was the only holder of this order "during the Patriotic War of 1812."
P. Hesse. Battle of Red.
The general took part in the battles near Vyazma and Maloyaroslavets. Participated in the foreign campaign of the Russian army. For some time, he replaced the ill Kutuzov as commander-in-chief of the army. After the battle of Lutsen, he filed a petition for dismissal from service for health reasons. The military career was over. She was, if not brilliant, at least very honest. All orders (Tormasov was a holder of many Russian orders -St. George 2nd class, Order of St. Vladimir 1st class, decorated with diamonds of the Order of Alexander Nevsky, the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called and the Polish White Eagle and St. Stanislav, and also awarded decorated with diamonds with a gold sword signed "For Bravery") the general received for achievements on the battlefield, and not on the palace parquet.
Although the young ten-year-old Alexander began his "service" in the palace as a page at the Highest Court of Emperor Peter the Third.
In 1772 - the beginning of a military career, Tormasov - lieutenant Vyatka Infantry Regiment. A few weeks later, already in the rank of captain - adjutant of Count A.Ya. Bryus. In 1777 - lieutenant colonel, commander of the Finnish Chasseurs regiment formed by him.
1774 for Tormasov is "the year of the great turning point". He was "noted by Potemkin", assessing, first of all, the organizational skills of the young officer. This is followed by a battle check - Tormasov is sent to the Crimea to pacify the rebellion of the Crimean Tatars against the Khan - the then ally Russia. He copes with the task "with a bang", combining reconnaissance cavalry raids on the rear of the enemy with the subsequent destruction of his superior forces in parts. Tormasov is groping for his personal style of warfare - a quick cavalry strike on the flank, together with a maneuverable infantry and artillery detachment. Combat experience will come in handy during his participation in the second Russian - Turkish and second Polish wars. On his combat account, a successful campaign across the Danube at the head of a cavalry brigade and participation in the Machinsky battle; in the battle of Maciejowice, Tormasov commanded the left flank of the main forces, during the famous assault on Prague (a suburb of Warsaw) he led one of the columns.
In 1798, Tormasov received the rank of lieutenant general, and in 1801 he was a cavalry general.
In 1808, the general became commander in chief in Georgia and on the Caucasian line. This position required from him a wide variety of talents. And the military. and diplomatic, furious energy, administrative intuition. Tormasov managed to "resolve" a completely crazy situation: Turkey and Persia were preparing for an invasion, Imereti and Abkhazia rebelled, Dagestan was on the verge of unrest, and only 42 thousand people were "at hand" .And yet he managed, the troops under his general command defeated the Turks and Persians, took the Poti fortress, eliminating Turkish influence on Abkhazia and Imeretia and thereby stabilizing the situation. The uprising in Dagestan was crushed.
The ability to cope with any difficult situation, to isolate the main strategic tasks, to find reliable performers helped Tormasov in 1814, when he was appointed to the post of Governor General of Moscow. The city had to be rebuilt after a huge fire. Tormasov approached the matter quite "creatively", proposing "at the same time" to level the streets, build new quarters, build up the center with city mansions instead of rural estates and houses with several floors. The creation of the Boulevard Ring is also his work. During his governorship built Manege, enclosed in the Neglinka pipe, a monument to Minin and Pozharsky was erected on Red Square. For success in the field of restoring the ancient capital, by decree of Alexander the First, Tormasov was elevated to the dignity of a count. But perhaps more important is the opinion of Muscovites: "Thank you, Sovereign, for giving us a boss who, preserving the laws, was equally attentive to the rich and the poor, in honor of the existing and in misery abiding."
A.P. Tormasov died in November 1819 and was buried in the Small Cathedral of the Donskoy Monastery.
TORMASOV ALEXANDER PETROVICH
Tormasov (Count Alexander Petrovich, 1752 - 1819) - a famous general. Spotted by Potemkin, he was sent in 1782 to the Crimea to pacify the revolt of the Tatars. At the beginning of the 2nd Turkish war he was in the Yekaterinoslav army. In 1791, commanding a cavalry brigade, he made a successful search across the Danube to Babadag, and on June 28 he took a prominent part in the battle of Machinsky, commanding the cavalry of the left wing. During the 2nd Polish War, with several light-horse regiments, he defeated the enemy at the town of Mobar, and on September 28, 1794, in the battle of Maciowice, he commanded the left flank of the main forces. During the storming of Prague, he led one of the columns. Under Emperor Paul in 1799 he was expelled from service, but in 1800 he was again appointed commander of the Life Guards Horse Regiment. In 1803 he was appointed governor-general of Kyiv, in 1807 - of Riga, in 1808 - commander-in-chief in Georgia and on the Caucasian line. Arriving at his post in February 1809, Tormasov found things in a difficult situation: Turkey and Persia were preparing to invade our borders, Imereti and Abkhazia were in revolt, Dagestan was close to that, and the commander in chief had no more than 42 thousand troops. Tormasov discovered tireless energy, the ability to direct the actions of his troops and the ability to choose performers. Thanks to this, success gradually leaned in our favor. Having taken the fortress of Poti and thereby eliminating the influence of the Turks on Abkhazia and Imeretia, Tormasov brought peace to them; in Dagestan, attempts to revolt were suppressed. Tormasov's closest collaborators - Kotlyarevsky, Lisanevich and Simonovich - inflicted several decisive defeats on the Turks and Persians and thus secured our southern border. During the Patriotic War, Tormasov commanded the 3rd observational army (54 battalions, 76 squadrons, 9 Cossack regiments, 43 thousand in total), designed to protect South Russia. First Schwarzenberg was sent against Tormasov, then Renier with the Saxon corps. On July 1, Tormasov, leaving Saken's corps to guard Volhynia and to communicate with the Danube army, and Major General Khrushchev (a dragoon brigade and 2 Cossack regiments) in Vladimir-Volynsky to secure the borders from Galicia and the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, himself with the main forces moved against the flank and rear of the French troops advancing from Brest to Pinsk (against Bagration). Corps Rainier was scattered over a large area (Slonim - Pruzhany - Brest - Kobrin - Yanovo - Pinsk). On July 13, a part of Tormasov's army captured Brest; On the 15th, the Saxon detachment in Kobrin was defeated and laid down weapons (General Klengel, 66 officers, 2200 lower ranks, 8 guns); after that Tormasov occupied Pruzhany. This victory was of great moral significance, as the first success during the retreat of our armies. Rainier, having gathered his troops and united with Schwarzenberg, attacked Tormasov at Gorodechna (see). On August 1, Russian troops retreated first to Kobrin, and then to Lutsk to join the Danube army, which was marching to Russia upon the conclusion of the Bucharest peace. In September, the armies united and forced Schwarzenberg to hastily retreat to Brest. Soon the command of the united armies passed to Admiral Chichagov, and Tormasov was recalled to the main apartment, where he was entrusted with the internal command and control of the troops and their organization. Tormasov took part in the battles near Maloyaroslavets, Vyazma, Krasny and with the main army crossed the border of the empire in December 1812. When Kutuzov, due to illness, remained in Bunzlau, Tormasov temporarily assumed the main command of the army. Soon, his failing health forced him to ask for a discharge; he was appointed a member of the State Council, and in 1814 - commander in chief in Moscow. On August 30, 1816, he received the dignity of a count.
