On the guards "Sch-309" Cape Isaac

DIFFICULT TO LEARN - EASY TO COMBAT

On March 31, 1940, a new commander was appointed to Shch-309 - Lieutenant Commander Kabo. On May 18, the boat went to Kronstadt, where it was scheduled for repairs after participating in a military campaign. On May 20, joyful sailors saw through the morning haze the handsome Kronstadt, the ships standing in the roadstead, and soon fell into the arms of friends. In the six months that have passed since the day the Dolphin left Kronstadt, its crew has gained combat experience and become more mature. New knowledge had to be consolidated in further combat training.

There have also been changes in the Baltic. In the summer of 1940, the working people of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania overthrew the bourgeois governments they hated and created their own proletarian republics, which voluntarily joined the great brotherhood of peoples - the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The Red Banner Baltic Fleet received new naval bases and entered the vastness of the Baltic Sea.

The ships of the fleet faced an urgent task - to master the maritime theater in a short time. Therefore, day and night, in poor visibility and in good visibility, voyages were made to Tallinn, Libava, Riga, Klaipeda, and to the bays and bays adjacent to them. During the voyages, various training tasks were practiced.

And the international situation did not allow a decrease in the pace of combat training.

The fire of war that engulfed Europe was approaching the Soviet borders. “The flames of the Second World War are raging over the world,” the Political Administration of the Red Banner wrote in its appeal. Baltic Fleet- the blood of young men, old people and children is shed, cities are burning, huge material and cultural values \u200b\u200bare destroyed ... ”The political administration called on personnel to be constantly combat ready, to persistent, with full exertion, combat training.

On June 12, 1941, Shch-309 went on another training campaign, this time to the Gulf of Riga. In addition to the regular personnel, there were midshipmen on the boat who were trained after graduating from college. The purpose of the campaign is to practice torpedo firing, which is usually the final stage of the crew's combat training, summing up their long work. At such exercises, the ability of the personnel of the submarine ship to covertly approach the ships of the "enemy", determine the elements of their movement, make an accurate salvo at the chosen target and quietly withdraw.

... Even before dawn, the boat took a "combat" position and began to search for an "enemy" that could appear from any direction. There is an almost palpable silence in the compartments. Everyone is extremely focused. At the periscope - the senior assistant to the commander, Lieutenant Commander Semyon Zosimovich Trashchenko. As soon as he discovered the "enemy's" high-speed ship, a "combat alert" was announced for the ship. The boat began its first torpedo attack in this training campaign.

"Shch-309" moves at periscope depth, which is exactly held by the boatswain Pronin. The commander of the electromechanical warhead, engineer-captain-lieutenant Averyanov, prepared to prevent the boat from surfacing after the release of torpedoes. Worried midshipman Fokin, who led the preparation of torpedo and torpedoes. Finally the long awaited commands:

Devices tovs!

Light, one after another, jolts and hissing of the air were felt and heard by everyone in the boat: two torpedoes fired by foreman of the 2nd class Malyavkin rushed towards the target.

The minutes of waiting for the results of the attack seemed endless. But on the foremast of the target ship, a signal rises: “The attack was successful!”

The first was followed by more complex attacks: now the "enemy" had a strong guard. Torpedo attacks were interspersed with artillery fire, all kinds of exercises to put damaged mechanisms into operation, to fight for the ship's survivability, and others. The crew of the boat acted during all these exercises smoothly and confidently.

The personnel are doing exceptionally well with their duties on all types of alarms, ”said the usually laconic lieutenant commander Trashchenko. These words could not but bring pleasure to the team: Semyon Zosimovich was painfully stingy with praise. But now the first officer was pleased, because the success of the exercises is the result of the enormous work invested by him and the commander of the electromechanical warhead in training personnel.

The study tour was tense and difficult. However, they returned to the base with a big lift. Every officer, foreman and sailor firmly knew the wise rule of Russian military art: "Difficult in learning - easy in battle."

After the exercises, Shch-309 was transferred to the first line of warships of the Red Banner Baltic Fleet. Per progress made in combat and political training, the commander of the 6th division, captain of the 2nd rank M. V. Fedotov, declared gratitude to everything personnel boats, and the foremen of the 2nd article Malyavkin and Petryuk, the senior sailor Davydov were photographed at the deployed Banner of the 2nd submarine brigade.

2nd leader.
Thank you all for your attention
For enthusiasm and ringing laughter,
For the fire of competition
Ensuring success.

The final song “Serve Russia.

Without virtue there is neither glory nor honor.

Irreligion consumes states and sovereigns, faith, rights and mores.

(About godlessness). See hell over which madness reigns even stronger at the end of the age. This hell spreading its jaws to the mountains of the Alps, raises a new Rome, the foundation of which is near the abyss.

Wise generosity is often more useful than a headlong war sword.

Goodness and mercy are necessary for heroes.

The target closest to the action is better than the distant one.

Baba hits back, front, and things go on.

The executioner is also polite.

Be sincere with your friends, moderate in your needs, and disinterested in your actions.

Great adventures come from small causes.

Rule over the happiness, the speed of Caesar, who was so good at taking enemies by surprise even during the day.

Liberty and equality cannot long stand against faith and dominion.

Here are my thoughts about people: the sign of fools is pride, people of a mediocre mind are meanness, and a person of true merit is a sublimity of feelings, covered with modesty.

Courageous deeds are more reliable than words.

Time is the most precious thing.

The whole earth is not worth even one drop of uselessly shed blood.

Above money time is scary.

Where there are fewer troops, there are more brave ones.

Where there is anxiety, there is the road; where cheers - there and it's time; the head of the tail does not wait.

Heroism wins over courage, patience over speed, reason over mind, labor over laziness, history over newspapers...

The main talent of a great man is to be able to choose people according to their talents.

The head of the tail does not wait, it will always ripen in due time.

Hunger is the best medicine.

Civil prowess will not replace useless cruelty in the troops.

Two masters cannot be in the same house.

The work of the master is afraid. And the peasant does not know how to own a plow - bread will not be born.

Money should not lie empty.

Money is expensive, human life is even more expensive, and time is the most precious thing.

Diplomatic style - deceptive duplicity.

Good to do should hurry.

Virtue is always persecuted.

Unity gives consent. Look at the whole thing.

If you love hot, be capable of cold.

Poor imitation, commendable competition. Imitation is a recognition of the lack of one's own abilities. Competition is the impulse of a noble soul who wants to show a contested advantage.

The raking heat with other people's hands will burn it after its own.

Going forward, know how to turn back.

Do you know three sisters? Faith, Love and Hope. With them glory and victory. God is with them.

Sincerity of relations, truth in communication - that's friendship.

Art cannot tolerate enslavement.

Truth favors merit alone.

True glory cannot be valued: it is the result of self-sacrifice for the benefit of the common good.

How painful is indifference to oneself!

The peasant does not get rich with money, but with children. From children to him and money.

Who surprised, he won.

Who is good for the first role, not suitable for the second.

Love true glory.

Laziness is born from abundance. The closest reason to laziness is anarchy.

Flattery is like a pie: you need to skillfully bake it, everyone needs to stuff it in moderation, not oversalt or overpepper.

A proud and unpunished flatterer is the greatest villain.

Mercy covers severity. With severity, mercy is needed, otherwise severity is tyranny.

A wise and meek lord does not hide his security in the fortifications, but in the hearts of his subjects.

The wise do not fight by accident.

Reliability is the foundation of courage.

Never throw away an orange while there is still content in it.

Do not be flattered by brilliance, but by constancy.

Innocence cannot be justified.

The uncut forest grows again.

Hatred overshadows the mind.

The incessant science of reading!

There is no land in the world that is so dotted with fortresses as Italy. And there is also no land that has been conquered so often.

There is nothing worse than the desperate.

The leg strengthens the leg, the arm strengthens the arm.

The burden of service is light when it is lifted together by many.

We need more unpleasant news to overcome than pleasant news for consolation.

Danger is better to meet than to wait on the spot.

Distinguish ambition from pride and arrogance.

Command happiness, for one minute decides victory.

Suspicion is the mother of wisdom.

Assumptions and prejudices upset everyone.

The supposed not to end - God's wrath!

Get used to tireless activity.

Once happiness, twice happiness - God have mercy! All you need is some skill.

From a young age, learn to forgive the shortcomings of your neighbor and never forgive your own.

Speed is needed, and haste is harmful.

Self-observance and self-love are different: the first is commanded by God, the second is corrupted by pride in the beginning.

Self-love drowns in ignorance of its own lot, but it has desires.

Service and friendship - two parallel lines- do not converge.

To sacrifice one's property at all times is the rule of the highest service.

The standing of the city is not taken.

Happiness depends on rules, fortune depends on chance.

The only sacrament of a firm bond of worthy friends is to be able to forgive misunderstandings and enlighten urgently in shortcomings.

Tactics and diplomacy without the lamp of history is nothing.

A hard oak falls not from the wind or itself, but from an ax.

Theory without practice is dead.

He is not great yet, who is revered as such.
He is not thin who is reputed to be thin.
He is no longer cunning, of whom everyone says that he is cunning.

Three main virtues of a leader: courage, mind, health (bodily and mentally).

An industrious soul must be occupied with its craft, and frequent exercise is as invigorating to it as ordinary exercise is to the body.

It's amazing, really, that with you cunning is preferred to reason and the end is taken as the beginning! It is decent to do this with court jesters alone.

Surprise - win.

Learned men, by their immortality, are more like gods than anyone else: it is they who carry us to the heights of virtue. Their genius shows us how sweet it is to dedicate one's life to the public good. They instruct us not to worry about our own person, to despise the vicissitudes of fortune and to sacrifice ourselves for the good of the Fatherland and humanity.

Learning is light and ignorance is darkness.

Familiar treatment breeds contempt.

Fortune spins happiness like a spoked wheel.

Fortune has eyes on the back of her head, her hair is short, her flight is lightning fast: if you miss it once, you won’t catch it. (There is another option: Fortuna has a bare back of her head, and long hanging hair on her forehead: she didn’t grab ... she won’t come back!)

Although courage, vigor and courage are needed everywhere and in all cases, they are only in vain if they do not flow from art, which increases from trials, with suggestions and affirmations to each of his position.

The more amenities, the less courage.

Clean - everything is clean.

Great is the Russian God! We will go with him along the paths of ancient glory!

Almighty God! Grant that evil for Russia is not revealed before 100 years, but even then the basis for this will be harmful.

The fortress is strong, the garrison is a whole army. But nothing can stand against Russian weapons - we are strong and self-confident.

Whoever loves his Fatherland sets the best example of love for humanity.

Easy victories do not flatter the Russian heart.

Our slowness will increase the strength of the enemy. Quickness and suddenness will upset him and amaze him. The width of the river will not narrow, the height of the banks will not decrease. The Russian God is strong. With Him we will fly with a heroic flight, with Him we will win!

We are Russians, we will overcome everything.

No army in the world can resist the brave Russian grenadier.

Nature produced only one Russia. She has no rivals.1

Try to move this stone. You can not? So the Russians can't retreat.

Show in practice that you are Russian!

The Russian is distinguished by faith, fidelity and reason.

Rusak is not a coward.

Russian Prussians have always been beaten, what is there to adopt?

The Russian God is great! The French are groaning, the Caesars are pacifying!

The Russian must experience everything.

Death or captivity - it's all the same!

Wherever a deer passes, a Russian soldier will also pass. Where the deer will not pass, the Russian soldier will still pass.

In vain will all Europe move against Russia: it will find there Thermopylae, Leonidas1 and its own coffin.

Die for the House of the Mother of God, for the Mother Queen, for the Most Serene House. The church prays to God. Whoever survived, honor and glory!

Bayonet, speed, surprise - these are the leaders of the Russians.

In essence, there is nothing more harmful and even more - no one can be as cruel as sentimental people are harmful and cruel as a result of their actions. A person who loves his neighbors, a person who hates war, must finish off the enemy so that another war does not start after one.

Prepare in war for peace, and in peace for war.

Victory is the enemy of war.

Soldier and in peacetime in the war.

MILITARY SCIENCE

Attack with what you came! If, cut, drive, cut off, do not miss! Hooray! - works miracles, brothers!

Watch out for the bullet in the muzzle.

Save a bullet for three days, and sometimes for a whole campaign, when there is nowhere to get it.

Be patient in military labors, do not succumb to despondency from failures.

Brothers! Bayonet, stab with the butt! Don't delay: go ahead! Wow, move! Shake your head, go ahead, brothers! Miracle heroes, go ahead! We are Russians!

Be perceptive, be careful. Have a definite goal. Know how to foresee false and doubtful circumstances, but do not get carried away by local ardor.

In the office they lie, but in the field they beat.

Speed and surprise replace number. Pushing and punching decides the battle.

Speed and pressure are the soul of real war.

There are three attacks in the battle in the field: the first in the wing, which is weaker. It’s not good in the middle - they will squeeze you yourself. Attacking with all your forces in a bypass is good only for a small corps.

Don't waste time in sieges... An open assault is the best. There is less loss.

Gaze! Rapidity! Victory!

Fight not by numbers, but by skill.

Military science is the science of winning.

military science should learn from the war. Every theater of war is new.

Military virtues: for a soldier - courage, for an officer - courage, for a general - courage, guided by the principles of order and discipline, controlled by vigilance and forethought.

In the event of obstacles, you can’t be distracted by them much, time is the most precious thing - you need to be able to save it. Often our previous victories remained inconclusive due to a lack of people. The most false rule is the belief that after the defeat of the enemy, everything is over, while one should strive for greater successes.

Above all is the eye, that is, the use of the position of the place, diligence, vigilance and comprehension.

Do in war what the enemy considers impossible.

Activity is the most important of all military virtues.

Discipline is the mother of victory.

should strive for one main point and forget about retreat1. Onslaught and blows decide the battle, and an attack is preferable to a siege.

For a scientist, three non-scientists are given. Three is not enough for us, give us six, give us ten for one - we will beat them all, knock them down, take them in full ...

If you want to die in war, then you must want to die in action with glory, like Turenne.

You go to beat the enemy, multiply your troops, empty posts, remove communications. Having beaten the enemy, renew according to circumstances, but drive him to destruction.

Correct shooting at a target is of great importance: it multiplies the death of the enemy and averts unnecessary waste of cartridges in action.

The true rule of military art is to directly attack the enemy from the most sensitive side for him, and not to converge, timidly making his way along detours, through which the attack itself becomes polysyllabic, while the matter can only be decided by a direct, bold offensive.

Who is scared is half defeated. Fear has big eyes, one in ten will appear.

Whoever is brave and boldly goes straight to the enemy, he has already won half the victory.

A local (resident) in his vicinity judges better by the circumstances.

We owe all the exploits to the unification of the first two armies in Europe into the invincible Russian-Austrian army. And if you start the campaign again, then you need to get closer in systems1. Otherwise there can be no salvation for humanity, no restoration of oppressed sovereigns and religion.

In war, money is expensive, human life is even more expensive, time is the most precious thing.

You have to hit with skill, not numbers.

Methodism is not needed, but a correct military outlook.

The indefatigability of the soldiers and the determination of the officer - these are the leaders to glory!

Not a single post should be considered a fortress ... there is no shame in yielding a post to an enemy superior in numbers. On the contrary, this is the art of war, in order to retreat in time without loss. A given post can be taken back, but the loss of people is irretrievable: often one person is more valuable than the post itself.

No battle in the office can be won.

Never split forces to occupy points. Bypassed the enemy - so much the better: he himself goes to defeat.

Nothing but offensive.

Do not offend the inhabitant: he waters and feeds us. A soldier is not a robber. Holy booty: take the camp - all yours, take the fortress - all yours. Without an order, do not go to the prey.

The infantry should not engage in firing much, but only go with hostility and take in full.

Operating plan in the corps, in the column. Clear distribution of regiments. Everywhere timing. In correspondence between the chiefs of troops, the matter should be stated clearly and briefly, in the form of notes, without large titles. Future enterprises should be determined ahead for a day or two.

Victory depends on the feet, and the hands are only the instrument of victory.

The regiment is a mobile fortress, together, shoulder to shoulder, and you won’t take it with a tooth!

In any case, our terrible bayonet, with which our soldier works more regularly than anyone else in the world, is more harmful to the enemy.

The ditch is not deep, the shaft is not high. Throw yourself into the ditch, jump over the rampart. Strike with bayonets, if, drive, take in full !!!

Take care of the gun, cracker and legs more than your eyes!

Treat captives philanthropicly, ashamed of barbarity.

Sikurs (help), danger and other words serve the women who are afraid to get off the stove.

Death flees from the bayonet and saber of the brave. Happiness crowns courage and courage.

Subordination, exercise, discipline, cleanliness, neatness, health, vivacity, courage, courage, victory, glory, glory, glory!

Death on the bed is not a soldier's death.

Shoot rarely, but accurately. Bayonet if firmly. The bullet is a fool, the bayonet is well done.

Subordination or obedience is the mother of discipline or martial arts.

Firmness, prudence, eye, time, courage, onslaught, fewer details and details in speeches to soldiers.

Three martial arts: the first is the eye, the second is speed, the third is the onslaught.

Three will jump: stab the first, shoot the second, the third bayonet karachun. Don't delay on the attack.

Hard in teaching - easy on a campaign, easy on a teaching - hard on a campaign.

A smart military man should not act at random, without extremes.

Although courage, vigor and courage are needed everywhere and in all cases, they are only futile if they do not flow from art.

Step back - death. Forward two, three and ten - I allow.

Bayonets, speed, surprise!.. The enemy thinks that you are a hundred, two hundred miles away, and you, having doubled your heroic step, swoop down quickly, suddenly. The enemy sings, walks, waits for you from an open field, and you, from behind the steep mountains, from the dense forests, fly at him like snow on your head. Strike, constrain, overturn, beat, drive, do not let yourself come to your senses.

With a bayonet, one person can stab three, where four, and a hundred bullets fly into the air.

ABOUT ENEMIES

A fleeing enemy is destroyed by one pursuit.

Beat the enemy, not sparing either him or yourself, hold on evil, fight to the death, the one who has less pity for himself wins.

Continuous study of the enemy will make you a great general. No battle in the office can be won. Know how to use the terrain, manage happiness.

Bogatyrs, the enemy is trembling from you, but there is a bigger enemy: the damned non-knower, the hint, the riddle, the deceit, the cunning, the eloquence, the short talk, the two-faced, the polite ... there was a lot of trouble from the non-knower.

It is no less than a weapon to strike the enemy with philanthropy.

The enemy should not be given time, take advantage of his mistake as much as possible and take it all boldly from the weakest side.

There is no crazier Prussians. Lauzer or lice was called their cloak. You won’t pass in the shieldhouse and near the booth without an infection, and their head stench will give you a swoon.

Never despise your enemy, whatever he may be, and know well his weapons, his way of acting and fighting. Know what is his strength and what is the weakness of the enemy.

Oh, how this young Bonaparte walks! He is a hero, he is a miracle hero, he is a sorcerer! He conquers both nature and people. He circled the Alps as if they didn't exist at all. He hid their formidable peaks in his pocket, and hid his army in the right sleeve of his uniform. It seemed that the enemy then only noticed his soldiers when he directed them, like Jupiter his lightning, sowing fear everywhere and hitting the scattered crowds of Austrians and Piemnts. Oh, how he walks! As soon as he embarked on the path of military leadership, he cut the Gordian knot of tactics. Not caring about the number, he attacks the enemy everywhere and smashes him completely. He knows the irresistible force of the onslaught - no more needed. His opponents will persist in their sluggish tactics, subordinated to armchair feathers, and he has military advice in his head. In action he is as free as the air he breathes. He moves his regiments, fights and wins according to his will!
Here is my conclusion: as long as General Bonaparte keeps his presence of mind, he will be victorious. The great talents of the military went to his lot. But if, to his misfortune, he throws himself into the political whirlwind, if he betrays the unity of thought, he will perish.

Give mercy to the rest of those who surrender: it is a sin to kill in vain. They are the same people.

The enemy is driven back - failure. Cut off, surrounded, scattered - good luck.

The winner deserves generosity.

The enemy has the same hands, but they do not know the Russian bayonet.

The French, and especially the Neapolitan cavalry, shout "Sorry" so that it passes to us.

The French are hot, they are hot: they beat a lot of them, it is difficult to save.

The French are violators of the general silence and enemies of the general calm. The French rejected Christ the Savior, they trampled on the legitimate government. Fear their debauchery... You were happy with faith - keep it. Cherish your conscience: may it not reproach you for being companions of the oppressors of faith and the rights of the people. Run from false teachers.

ABOUT COMMANDERS

The vigil of the chief is the best calmness of subordinates. His perspicacity overcomes the unexpected.

The general needs to educate himself in the sciences.

Pitiful is the commander who, according to the newspapers, is waging war. There are other things he needs to know.

The commander needs continuing education sciences through reading.

It is necessary that the troops of their leader understand.

Learn to obey before commanding others.

A leader in war should not bind himself with anything, but act according to the circumstances and always quickly.

Don't use "stop" commands. And in battle: "attack", "hack", "if", "cheers", "drums", "music".

Continuous refinement of the eye will make you a great commander.

Nightly defeats of opponents prove the leader's ability to use victory not for brilliance, but for constancy.

Training is necessary, if only plainly and briefly. The soldiers love him.

From severity to cruelty, half a sazhen, half a arshin, half an inch, half a inch.

Full power to the chosen commander.

Eat your share, and give the soldier to the soldier.

Carefully train your subordinate soldiers and set an example for them.

Keep in mind the names of great people and in your campaigns and actions with prudence follow their example.

Follow Aristides in rightness, Fabrizian in moderation, Epaminondas in dishonesty, Cato in laconicism, Julius Caesar in swiftness, Turenne in constancy, Laudon in manners.

ABOUT SOLDIERS

Without ambition, obedience and good morals, there is no serviceable soldier.

See in the part - the family, in the boss - the father, in the comrade - the brother.

Each warrior must understand his maneuver. The secret is only a pretext, more harmful than useful. Chatterbox will be punished anyway.

What is necessary for a soldier is useful, and what is superfluous leads to luxury - the mother of self-will.

Die yourself, but save a comrade. The Church of God prays for the dead!

Road soldier. Take care of your health, clean your stomach if it gets clogged. Hunger is the best medicine.

A soldier should be healthy, brave, firm, resolute, truthful, pious.

You swore. Die for the faith, the king and the Fatherland. Defend the banner to the last drop of blood.
A battle is calmer to me than a shovel of lime and a pyramid of bricks.

My wealth consists in donated diamonds and uniforms made in St. Petersburg and silver spoons recently ordered from Moscow.

In your letter ... the word "retreat" is used at my expense. I answer that I did not know him all my life, just as I did not know the defensive war, which at the beginning of the campaign cost the lives of more than 10,000 people in Tyrol alone, which we did not lose during the entire Italian campaign ...

Your brush will depict the features of my face - they are visible. But my inner humanity is hidden. So, I will tell you that I have shed blood in streams. I shudder. But I love my neighbor. I have never made anyone unhappy in my entire life. He did not sign a single death sentence. Not a single insect died by my hand. Was small, was big. With the ebb and flow of happiness, he trusted in God and was unshakable.

Proud to be Russian!

Take for yourself a hero of ancient times. Watch him. Follow him. Level up. Overtake. Glory to you! I chose Caesar. The Alpine mountains are behind us. God is before us. Hooray! The Russian eagles flew over the Roman eagles.

Yes, I served for the sexton, I sang in bass, and now I'm going to sing with Mars.

Every honest person should have a good name, I personally saw this good name in the glory of my Fatherland. My successes had the sole purpose of his welfare.

A life as open and famous as mine can never be distorted by any biographer. There will always be true witnesses to the truth, and most of all I do not demand someone who deems worthy to work for me, to think and write. This is the scale by which I would like to be known.

Look for true glory, walk in the footsteps of virtue. I am devoted to the last, and I close the first in the service of the Fatherland.

If I were not a general, I would be a writer.

The Cabinet ordered me not to take any more fortresses.

Kamensky knows military affairs, but it does not know it, Suvorov does not know military affairs, but it knows it, and Saltykov neither knows military affairs, nor does it know it.

It is better to have your head off than to lose your honor. With five hundred deaths, I learned not to be afraid of death.

The Prussians accept my tactics, but leave their rotten ones.

Meanwhile, as long as the European world and tactics are renewed, I numb in shameful inaction, I languish under the burden of an idle and useless life.

A soldier is dearer to me than myself.

My tactics: courage, courage, insight, foresight, order, moderation, charter, eye, speed, onslaught, humanity, appeasement, oblivion ...

Self-esteem, most often generated by a momentary impulse, never controlled my actions, and I forgot myself when it came to the benefit of the Fatherland.

Repnin can always talk about Mother Ekaterina, Suvorov sometimes, but Kamensky should never talk about it.

One minute decides the outcome of the battle, one hour - the success of the campaign, one day - the fate of the empire. I act not in hours, but in minutes.

Honoring and loving unhypocritically God, and in him also my brethren, people, never being tempted by the alluring singing of the sirens of a luxurious and carefree life, I always dealt with the most precious treasure on earth - time - economically and actively, in a vast field and in quiet solitude, which I delivered everywhere. Intentions thought out with great difficulty and even more carried out, with perseverance and often with extreme speed and non-missing of fickle time. All this, formed according to my own form, often gave me victory over the wayward Fortune. This is what I can say about myself, leaving my contemporaries and posterity to think and say about me what they think and wish to say.

True, I did not communicate much with women. But while amusing myself in their company, I always observed respect. I didn't have time to deal with them, and I was afraid of them. Women run the country here just like everywhere else. But I did not feel strong enough to defend myself against their charms.

At court, the language is full of allusions, conjectures, omissions, ambiguity. I am a rough soldier - not a guesser at all.

Nature did not endow me with carelessness, it’s too late to change, I will always be the same.

I came to Bellinzon... there are no hinnies, no horses, but there is Tugut, and mountains, and abysses... but I am not a painter: I went and passed.

Powder is not gunpowder, buckle is not a cannon, a scythe is not a cleaver, and I am not a German, but a real hare.

For seventy years I have been chasing glory. I stand at the tomb and recognize her dream: the peace of the soul at the Throne of the Almighty.

Titles are not for me, but they are necessary for the public.

Alas, with my love for the Fatherland - intrigues prevent me from showing it.

My honor is dearest to me. God is her patron.

I live in a relentless dream.

I feel now my former wounds, but as long as I am alive - to serve, although sometimes to rest. Such is the duty of a Christian! Pure mind without knots. My style is not figurative, but natural - with the firmness of my spirit!

Bayonets, edged weapons, attacks, blows - these are my reconnaissance.

I would legitimately wish to be sometimes in public in a foreign uniform: it is glory to the Great Emperor that his subject deservedly deserved them.

I was happy because I commanded happiness.

As a slave I die for the Fatherland and as a cosmopolitan I die for the world. I'm waiting for dismissal from the Baltic worldly vanities.

I'm better than the dead king of Prussia. By the grace of God, I did not lose battles.

I love the truth without embellishment.

I am not a fan of Demosthenes' chatter, I do not like either academics, who only bring confusion into sound judgments, or Gannibalov's Senate. I don't like rivalries, demonstrations, counter marches. Instead of these childishness - eye, speed, onslaught - these are my leaders.

I cannot leave my 50 year habit of hectic life and my acquired soldierly talents.

I am a soldier, I do not know any tribe or clan. The field is one of my elements.

I am the same, I have not lost my spirit. Everyone will deceive me in his own interest, who needs my last shirt, I will give it to him, I will remain naked. Because of this, I am not small yet.

The materials belonging to the history of my military actions are so closely intertwined with the history of my life that the original man and the original warrior must be inseparable from each other, so that the image of one or the other retains its essential appearance.

The main rule of Suvorov: Hurry to do good.
