Singer and blogger Oleg Abramov (Radio Tapok) filmed clip To the song “Peter’s Guard” dedicated to the Battle of Narva. In the video, the musician staged a reenactment of a historical event.
Narva, 1700. When the 40,000-strong army of Peter I faltered under the attack of the Swedes and fled, only three regiments, Semenovsky, Preobrazhensky and Lefortovsky, remained to fight on the battlefield, ”Abramov wrote on his Telegram channel.
He remembered how the soldiers stood in the deep snow, blood falling on him, and from afar they looked as if they were knee-deep in blood. It was the old fun army that Little Prince Peter raised and turned into his army.
“After that battle, Peter introduced the soldier’s uniform and ordered the guards to wear knee-high red stockings to remember that battle and the guard’s endurance,” the post’s author added.
