Table of ranks for all military, civilian and court ranks

In the days of the Soviet Union, many films were shot, where the rank of the Russian army appeared - lieutenant. Today there is no such rank of serviceman, so many are interested in who in 2017 could be called a lieutenant, who is endowed with similar powers? To do this, it is worth looking into history.

Who is a lieutenant

The military rank of "lieutenant" is still used in some countries, but it is no longer in Russia. For the first time this rank was introduced in the 17th century, in the regiments of the "new system". Lieutenant is a native Polish word, some confuse its meaning, believing that a military rank allowed entrusting important tasks to privates. In fact, of course, the serviceman had the right to give instructions that were agreed with the assistant company commanders (the latter, by the way, were called squadrons). But his main professional activity was to accompany the marches, when the rank and file were given to him "on bail."

Later, the lieutenant could be found in the artillery and engineering troops, even in the guards. In 1798, the rank was abolished everywhere except among the guards. According to historical records, a similar rank was assigned to the Cossacks, but was called "centurion", the cavalry also did not lag behind - here the lieutenant was replaced by a staff captain. During the reign of the tsar in Russia, a midshipman was a lieutenant in the navy, in civilian life the rank was equated to a collegiate secretary.

In 2017, the lieutenant still remains in the ranks of the Czech and Polish armies, he belongs to the junior officers, which means he can coordinate the actions of privates and at the same time execute orders from senior officers.

The current rank of lieutenant

Today, a lieutenant in the Russian army has been replaced by his counterpart, a lieutenant.

The lieutenant is junior and senior, he can also be retired or in reserve. In the latter case, the lieutenant is obliged to report to the service in order to defend the Motherland in the event of a confrontation between the Russian Federation and other states. If the service involves placement on a guards ship or military unit of the guards type, the word "guards" is added to the rank.

Having received a legal or medical education, a lieutenant becomes a lieutenant of the medical service or justice. You can determine that a senior lieutenant is next to you by shoulder straps:

  • in the longitudinal direction of the shoulder strap, 2 stars are placed from the lower edge;
  • the third is fixed above the previous signs on the longitudinal axial strip;
  • the diameter of the stars is small - 14 mm, the higher the rank of a soldier, the greater the size of the insignia;
  • the stars are arranged to form a triangle;
  • if you measure the distance from the center of one star to the center of another, it should be 29 mm;
  • a button is sewn on the upper edge of the shoulder strap.

In the resulting system of veneration, titles became important. That is, forms of appeal to a person of a particular rank.

In the first third of the 18th century, three general titles were most commonly used: Your Excellency(for the ranks of the higher classes), Your Excellency(for senators) and your honor(for other ranks and nobles). By the end of the century there were already five such titles: I And II classes - your excellency;III And IV classes - Your Excellency;V Class - your nobility;VI - VIII classes - your honor;IX - XIV classes - your honor.

Adjutant General Prince V. A. Dolgorukov.

The Moscow Governor-General, Adjutant General Prince V. A. Dolgorukov, strictly monitored the observance of his official seniority.

One day in 1879, he refused to attend a dinner at the Exchange Committee of the merchant society, "so as not to be the second person" among those present. It's just that Minister of Finance Greig and Chief Procurator of the Synod¹ Pobedonostsev had already been invited to dinner.

The following year, at a dinner at Prince A.P. Oldenburgsky, V.A. Dolgorukov expressed displeasure at the fact that he was put on the left hand of the hostess. The prince believed that he had been promoted to the rank earlier than the senator and real secret adviser MP Shcherbinin, who was in the same rank, but was seated on the right hand of Princess Eugenia Maximilianovna of Oldenburg. The princess had to intervene and say that she "she herself appointed places according to the lists of seniority."

GO TO THE CLASSICS

Titles, uniforms and orders - a lot is said about this in A. S. Griboyedov's comedy "Woe from Wit" (1824). Attitude towards them allows the author to show the worldview of the characters and serves as a criterion for their evaluation. Refusal to "search" for ranks and a critical attitude towards them are perceived by most characters as unreasonableness and a sign of freethinking.

Princess Tugoukhovskaya speaks with horror about her nephew Fyodor:

Chinov doesn't want to know!

Molchalin, trying to find out the cause of Chatsky's ironic irritability, asks him:

You were not given ranks, failure in the service?

And hears in response:

Ranks are given by people,

And people can be deceived.

He with naive cynicism explains the path to the rank:

I am quite happy in my comrades;

Vacancies are just open;

Then the elders will be turned off by others,

Others, you see, are killed.

Answering Famusov’s question whether his cousin “has an order in his buttonhole”, Skalozub explains that his brother and he received orders on the spot:

He was given with a bow, around my neck.

When meeting with an old friend, Chatsky asks him a question: “Are you a chief or headquarters?”

Chatsky's monologues are devoted to the denunciation of the cult of the uniform:

And in wives, daughters - the same passion for the uniform!

Have I renounced tenderness to him long ago?

In salon conversations, golden sewing of uniforms, “pimples², epaulettes, buttonholes” on them, narrow “waistlines” of uniforms are mentioned.

Recall another remark of Famusov:

The deceased was a respectable chamberlain,

With the key, and he managed to deliver the key to his son.

But what do all these concepts mean: Privy Councilor, Ober-Schenk, Adjutant General, Excellency, Count, white uniform and uniform embroidery, piping and diamond signs? More on this below.

Kaiser Wilhelm II

At the beginning of the 20th century, Russia and Germany entered into a trade agreement. In connection with such major international events, gifts or awards should have been exchanged. At the Russian court, they knew that the German Kaiser Wilhelm II most of all loves all kinds of forms, orders and insignia. But how to reward Wilhelm? The situation was resolved by the German ambassador. He hinted to the Minister of Finance of the Russian government, S. Yu. Witte, that Wilhelm II would like to receive the uniform of a Russian admiral. The Kaiser's wish was granted.

WHO IS THE NOBLE?

The Code of Laws of the Russian Empire defined nobles or “nobles” as follows: “Noble means all those who are born from noble ancestors or have been granted this dignity by monarchs.”

However, by the time the “Table of Ranks” was introduced, it turned out that “some call themselves nobles,” and not really nobles, while others arbitrarily adopted the coat of arms, which their ancestors did not have. Therefore, Peter I sternly warned: “it belongs to no one, except us and other crowned heads, who should be welcomed to noble dignity with the coat of arms and seal.”

So, simply put, a nobleman is a landowner. That is, the owner of land and serfs. And for the right to own lands and receive income from them, the nobleman was obliged to serve the tsar and the fatherland.

In the time of Peter the Great, nobles were forced to serve for life. Peter III freed the nobles from compulsory service³ in 1762. At the same time, they now tried to lure the nobles into service with ranks, orders, and similar awards.

The title of nobleman could be earned, although the nobility received for service was considered second-class in society. Personal (not hereditary) nobles constituted a special group. They had no right to own serfs. Personal nobility extended only to the wife. Children of personal nobles enjoyed the right " chief officer's children". And since 1832 - by law hereditary honorary citizens.

The hereditary nobility generated attention to the origin, to the history of a kind in generations and the role in the history of the country, to the merits of its outstanding representatives. This title was issued in the form of pedigrees, family coat of arms, portraits of ancestors. All together evoked a sense of personal dignity and pride in their ancestors, made them take care of preserving a good name.

In 1861, the number of hereditary noble families in Russia was 150 thousand.

All the same nobles (together with their families) in 1858 in Russia, there were about a million people.

The noble origin of a hereditary nobleman was also expressed in the title common to all nobles - your nobility. In addition, nobility was also expressed in the right to wear a sword. When referring to a nobleman, the title was often replaced by the word " mister"(that is, the owner, owner). And serfs and servants also used the word " master', derived from ' boyar».

It is worth noting that in pre-revolutionary Russia, titles not established by law were also used in everyday life, such as "your degree", "your grace", "your honor" etc. Most often this was addressed to merchants if they did not have official titles.

"SPEAKING SURNAMES"

It was not customary to use the title "nobleman" in Russia. There were no special prefix particles for noble surnames, like “von” for the Germans, “don” for the Spaniards or “de” for the French. And yet, it was the surname, name and patronymic of a person that sometimes contained an indication of belonging to the nobility.

Charles Lebrun . Portrait of Ya. F. Dolgorukov, painted in 1687 during his visit to Paris.

The patronymic itself, which arose in Rus' in the 16th century, was perceived as a reward. Not everyone could use it. The sovereign himself indicated who to write with “-vich”. Even Peter I allowed in 1697 to write with "-vich" to Prince Yakov Fedorovich Dolgorukov, and in 1700 - to the "eminent person" Grigory Dmitrievich Stroganov. Under Catherine I, a list was compiled of the few persons who were supposed to be named with a patronymic in government documents.

"Eminent Man" Grigory Dmitrievich Stroganov

Surnames also appeared in Rus' not immediately and not for everyone. In the XIV - XV centuries with the princes. And by the beginning of the 18th century, all the nobles already had surnames. They were formed most often on behalf of the father, from where the name of the possessions came from.

In general, there are quite a few ways to form noble families. A small group consisted of the names of ancient princely families, descended from Rurik. By the end of the 19th century, only five of them survived: Mosalsky, Yeletsky, Zvenigorodsky, Rostov (usually had double surnames) and Vyazemsky.

The surnames of Baryatinsky, Beloselsky, Volkonsky, Obolensky, Prozorovsky and some others came from the names of the estates.

Often surnames came from the nickname of a member of the family. He got a nickname for something that stood out.

It must be borne in mind that the surnames were not introduced by any law, but were established quite randomly. At the same time, there were some doubts on which surname to stop. And then there were doubles. For an example, turn to the names of the famous boyars of the Romanovs, to a native of this family, Patriarch Filaret. His grandfather was called Zakharyin-Yuriev after the names of his grandfather and father. The double surnames of the Bobrishchevs-Pushkins, Musins-Pushkins, Vorontsovs-Velyaminovs, Kvashnins-Samarins and others were preserved in the offspring. It is impossible not to mention such a rare formation as the Drutsky-Sokolinsky-Gurko-Romeiko.

There were other reasons for the doubling of surnames. In 1697, the Dmitriev nobles asked, in order to distinguish them “from many different ranks of small-born” with the same surname, to allow them to add the surname of a relative Mamonov and be called Dmitriev-Mamonov.

And under Paul I, the custom of transferring surnames that had been cut off along the male line to another family along the female line was established. So, in 1801, the name of Field Marshal Prince N.V. Repnin was transferred to his grandson - the son of a daughter who married one of the Volkonsky princes.

Many noble families were of non-Russian origin. Some were descended from Tatar families: Yusupovs, Urusovs, Karamzins. Some were of Western origin. The Englishman Hamilton, who arrived in Russia, was first called Gamantov, then Gamatov, and finally Khomutov. The German surname Levenshtein became Levshin.

HONORARY SURNAME

A. D. Menshikov

There were also special honorary names - titles. Receiving it, the recipient most often complained about the generic title. The custom of giving military leaders honorary titles after the names of the places where they won victories was borrowed from Ancient Rome. As early as the beginning of the 18th century, A. D. Menshikov received the first such name - the title of the Most Serene Prince of Izhora.

Military ranks above the table of ranks - Generalissimo

The report card provided for three main types of service: military, civilian and court. Each was divided into 14 classes. Moving from class to class, starting from the bottom 14th, the employee made a career. Each class had to serve a certain number of years. But for special merits, the term was reduced. There were more positions in the civil service, and therefore the upward movement was faster.

In the 18th century, everyone who already had the lowest class rank, received and personal nobility. And the nobleman had a number of privileges. However, in military service hereditary nobility gave 14th grade, and in civilian life - only 8th. However, since the beginning of the 19th century, more and more non-nobles went to public service. And therefore, since 1845, in the civil service, hereditary nobility was received already from the fifth grade, and in the military - in the eighth.

Having established a clear system of ranks, the "Table of Ranks" followed the strict observance of the principle of seniority and rank. Among the holders of one rank, the one who served in the military service, or the one who had previously been granted this rank, was considered senior. Compliance with the principle of seniority was considered mandatory in all ceremonies: at court, during ceremonial dinners, at marriages, baptisms, burials, and even in churches during worship. There was a cruel rule: "Respect the rank of rank." And this principle extended to the wives and daughters of officials.

Shoulder straps and ranks in the Russian army were created in order to clearly delineate duties between the military. The higher the status, the more responsibility is assigned to the soldier who was awarded the rank. Shoulder straps play an identification role, that is, they create a visual representation of a military man, namely: what position he holds, as well as his military rank.

Shoulder straps and ranks in the army play a very important role, and for different troops they have different external characteristics, as well as names. The reason here is that each type of troops has its own characteristics. For comparison, let's go over the land and sea shoulder straps and ranks of the Russian army.

Shoulder straps and ranks in the ground forces of the Russian army

Observance of subordination and knowledge of one's function in the general formation are the basis of military discipline. This is also said to ordinary soldiers who are just beginning to get acquainted in practice with military service. In the ground forces, military personnel are divided by composition.

The following military personnel are included in the number of draft and contact staff:

  1. Private. This is the lowest rank of a soldier, from which all conscripts begin their military career. This rank can be considered higher, perhaps, than a cadet, since the latter only theoretically studies all the basics of military art, and the private is already being tested in practice. The shoulder straps of an ordinary soldier are clean, that is, they do not have any identification marks (as the conscripts themselves say, “clean shoulder straps - a clear conscience”).
  2. Corporal. As a rule, the most distinguished privates can later be promoted to . It is received by the very best or senior privates, that is, obvious leaders in their environment. The epaulettes of the Russian Federation at the corporal already take on one thin strip as a distinctive sign. It is this symbol that gives other military personnel an idea of ​​​​the role of this soldier in the overall military structure. If the commander is absent for some reason, then he is replaced by a corporal.

After the fundamental ranks, sergeants and foremen follow. Further, it is they who follow in order of the hierarchy of shoulder straps and military ranks:

  1. Lance Sergeant. This rank is an intermediate step between the corporal and the foreman. As a rule, promotion in rank means acceptance of a new position. upon receiving his new rank, he is appointed as a squad leader, or as a tank or vehicle. Another narrow stripe is added to the shoulder straps of Russia for a junior sergeant. This rank can also be obtained in exceptional cases if the soldier is sent to the reserve and at the time of sending he had the rank of corporal. However, this corporal should distinguish himself by merit and be one of the best.
  2. Sergeant. This is the next link, to which the soldier passes after overcoming the rank of junior sergeant. Upon receipt of this title, shoulder straps are supplemented with another narrow strip. By this time, the soldier has three of them. It is referred to differently as "non-commissioned officer", and in many countries, especially in Germany, where the term comes from, it sounds the same.
  3. Staff Sergeant. A soldier awarded this title receives one wide instead of three narrow stripes on the shoulder straps of the Russian army. occupies an intermediate step between foreman and sergeant.
  4. Sergeant major. If before this rank the defining lines were located across the shoulder strap, then the wide line already goes along the shoulder strap. Among the military personnel of its composition, this rank is the most senior. As a rule, foremen are also an official and command an entire company. In relation to sergeants and soldiers who stand at the very first steps of military ranks, he is a commander. His job responsibilities include monitoring the observance of discipline among subordinates, suggesting to juniors what to do in a given situation, and ensuring that all subordinates fulfill their duties.

After that, the composition of the ranks of the RF Armed Forces goes into the category of ensigns:

  1. Ensign. The shoulder straps of the military in this rank somewhat change their appearance, since instead of stripes, starting with the ensign, stars are used. At the ensign they are small and are available in the amount of two pieces. This is already a different level of military service, respectively, the requirements are tougher in relation to the soldier who was awarded this rank.
  2. Senior Warrant Officer. It is also an intermediate link between the ensign and officer ranks. Another small star is added to the shoulder straps. Just like on the shoulder straps of an ensign, red lines run along both sides. This rank of military personnel is used not only on the territory of the Russian Federation, but also in many other states.

The officer corps comes immediately after the composition of warrant officers, it includes the following ranks of military personnel:

  1. Ensign. The first level of junior officers. The appearance of the shoulder strap also changes, as the two longitudinal stripes are replaced by one that runs from one edge to the other in the middle of the shoulder strap. When a soldier is promoted to the rank of junior lieutenant, three small stars are replaced by one larger one. The star is clearly on the red line. This title is used in the power structures of our country, as well as in the military hierarchy abroad.
  2. Lieutenant. This title is used not only in the army, but also in such structures of our state as, for example, the police. It is the middle link between junior lieutenant and senior. On shoulder straps, instead of one star of medium size, there are two. However, not along the red line, but on its sides.
  3. Senior lieutenant. A third star of medium size is added to the shoulder straps, which is located just above the two side ones, on the red center line. This military rank also applies to junior officers, it is used both in law enforcement agencies and the armed forces both in our country and on the territory of foreign states.
  4. Captain. On the captain's shoulder straps, another, fourth, medium-sized star is added, which is located just above the third and also on the red center line. This title is available both in the ground forces of our country and in the navy. Initially, the chiefs of the military maritime districts were called captains, and later it acquired a modern meaning.

  1. Major. The rank has one star, an order of magnitude more than the stars of a captain or lieutenant. Shoulder strap has two longitudinal red stripes. This rank is the first step in the senior officer corps.
  2. Lieutenant colonel. Shoulder straps have two stars located on two red lines. It is the middle step between major and colonel. It is used in the national army, as well as in law enforcement agencies of many European countries, as well as Russia.
  3. Colonel. A third star is added to the shoulder straps, located just above the other two. This step is the final one in the senior officer corps. The name comes from the ancient concept of "regiment", that is, the head of this same regiment. The rank is used in the armed forces of our country, as well as in law enforcement agencies. The title exists not only in Russia, but also in other states.

The highest officers of our country are represented by generals, who also have their own internal military gradation:

  1. Major General. This title is the first step in the so-called elite of our military hierarchy. Shoulder straps at this stage are crowned with large stars, this title has one such star. The red line now wraps around the entire shoulder strap.
  2. Lieutenant general. A soldier of this rank was awarded two large stars on shoulder straps. Despite the fact that a major is higher than a lieutenant, a lieutenant general in the highest system of military service will be higher than a major general.
  3. Colonel General. It has three large stars on shoulder straps, located in a row. Represents the middle link between a lieutenant general and an army general.
  4. Army General. A soldier of this rank has four large stars. In the United States or Ukraine, it is the highest military rank. However, in countries where there are such ranks as field marshal or marshal, it is in second place in terms of seniority.
  5. Marshal of the Russian Federation. The highest military rank in our country. On shoulder straps is the coat of arms of the Russian Federation and a star in a range of two colors - gold and silver. This title was established in 1993 by a relevant decree.

Military ranks and epaulettes in the naval forces of Russia

Obligations and status in the naval forces are similar to those used in the land, but the names of the sailors are different.

junior ranks:

  • foreman 2 articles;
  • foreman 1 article;
  • chief foreman;
  • chief ship foreman;
  • midshipman;
  • senior midshipman.

The gradation of ranks in the naval forces is as follows (starts with junior officer ranks):

  1. Junior lieutenant, there is one stripe in the gap.
  2. The lieutenant has two stars on the sides of the red line.
  3. Senior lieutenant, there are three stars on shoulder straps.
  4. Lieutenant-captain, there are four stars in the gaps.

Middle officer naval ranks are subdivided as follows:

  1. Captain (rank 3), there are already two gaps on the shoulder straps of the middle link, and the stars are larger in size. At this rank, the star is between the red stripes.
  2. Captain (rank 2), two stars located directly on the gaps.
  3. Captain (1st rank), three stars, two on the stripes, one between them.

The composition of the highest category is characterized by the following titles:

  1. Rear Admiral. Shoulder straps of this rank do not have gaps on them, stars are immediately embroidered on them. The size of the star is increasing again. Members of this rank wear one star.
  2. Vice admiral. There are two stars on the shoulder straps.
  3. Admiral. Soldiers of this rank wear three stars on shoulder straps.
  4. Fleet Admiral. A serviceman awarded this rank, which is the highest in the navy, wears one large star on shoulder straps, which is 4 cm in diameter.

In any case, a soldier must pass the test of time before he can perform the duties of higher ranks.

The class, qualification, degree of suitability of a person for the implementation of a particular activity in a state body in accordance with his skills, abilities, knowledge. It is established by federal legislative or other regulatory act. Let's take a look at what are class ranks of the state table correspondence of the main classes will also be presented in the article.

General information

For the first time they were systematized by Peter 1 in the Table of Ranks. After the revolution of 1917 they were abolished. In 1943, the ranks were again introduced, but only for employees of the prosecutor's office and investigative bodies. In the current table of class ranks of the civil service each class corresponds to a certain military (special) rank. It was approved by the Decree of the Head of State in 2005.

Categories of employees

In accordance with Federal Law No. 58 and No. 25, officials of the federal, regional and municipal civil civil service receive. Ranks are also assigned to employees of law enforcement agencies.

It is worth saying that the classification of civil servants in the Russian Federation is considered one of the most difficult in administrative theory and practice. The fact is that the division of employees can be carried out according to a variety of criteria. For example, depending on the level of government, employees may be federal or regional civil servants.

According to the branches of power, officials of the legislative, executive, judicial bodies, the prosecutor's office and other higher state bodies are classified. However, the classification of employees according to ranks, special and military ranks is considered the most significant. Currently, it is she who is most fully regulated by regulations.

The legislative framework

In 1995, qualification categories were established. However, in 2004, 79-FZ was approved. It regulates the relations that arise when entering the civil service, its passage. 79-FZ regulates the interaction between a state structure and a person who terminates professional activity in its state. It is worth saying that along with this normative act, the provisions regulating the sphere in question are also present in Federal Law No. 58. In the Law " On the State Civil Service of the Russian Federation"The status (legal status) of federal civil servants and officials of state bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation is determined.

Classification

In accordance with the current legislation, persons in the federal civil service are assigned:

  • diplomatic ranks;
  • special/military ranks;
  • class ranks.

As for employees of regional state structures, they are subject to Federal Law No. 58. The regulatory act establishes that these persons are assigned only class ranks. The corresponding provision is enshrined in Art. 13 (part 1 item 2).

How is the class rank of the civil service assigned?

The following rules are enshrined in legislation:

  1. Assignment of ranks of the state civil service carried out exclusively in accordance with the post to be replaced.
  2. Employees, whose terms of office are not limited, receive a rank after passing a qualification exam.
  3. Ranks are assigned personally. At the same time, the sequence must be observed, taking into account the professional level and duration of civil service in the previous rank and the replaced post.

Class rank of the civil service may be next or first. The latter is assigned to a federal civil servant after successfully passing the test. If it was not provided for in the contract, then a person can receive the rank only after 3 months. after appointment. A citizen receives the next degree after the expiration of the period determined for serving in the same rank. At the same time, a person must fill a position for which a rank is provided equal to or higher than that which is assigned to him.

General principles

Russian Federation receive the next rank sequentially upon completion of the established period of stay at the previous stage. As an incentive measure, early assignment of the next class is allowed.

When transferring or entering a citizen from the civil service of one type to another, the class rank should be taken into account.

In case of dismissal or dismissal from office, the received class is retained. The basis for the deprivation of a class rank is only a court decision.

Nuances

When a person is transferred from a civil service of one type to a service of another type, the previously assigned rank is taken into account when receiving a class at a new place of work. Note that it is not automatically migrated. Presidential Decree No. 113 of 2005 defines the following. Upon admission to the civil service of a person who has a class of another type of service, he receives according to the position he fills. If it turns out to be lower than the current one, then the employee can get a rank one step higher, but within the group to which the post he will fill belongs.

Document without a title

The Table of Ranks (“Table of Ranks for all ranks of military, civilian and courtiers”) - the law on the order of public service in the Russian Empire (the ratio of ranks by seniority, the sequence of ranks) - was approved on January 24, 1722 (February 4, according to a new style) Emperor Peter I. She [the "report card" then was female] existed with numerous changes until the revolution of 1917 and not only left its legal imprint on the state life of tsarist Russia, but also became a comprehensive background for any everyday, cultural and folklore manifestations.

"He was a titular adviser, She is a general's daughter. He timidly declared his love, She drove him away. The titular adviser left And drank with grief all night - And in the wine fog the general's daughter rushed before him ..."

The modern reader may not be completely clear about the drama (and maybe even a personal tragedy) that sounds in this popular romance by P.I. Weinberg, but in the 19th century everything was very clear to any Russian: a person of non-noble origin could earn the rank of titular adviser, which gave the right to personal nobility. Receiving this rank by a simple tradesman, as it were, slightly opened a window for him to inaccessible, previously unknown heights, became a reason for pride and self-respect ... but at the same time it hung like an impenetrable granite ceiling over the barely soaring "little man".

The fact is that the next in class rank of collegiate assessor gave the right to hereditary nobility, which is why there was an invisible barrier on the way to him, which it was extremely difficult for a raznochintsy official to overcome. The nobility was wary of overfilling at the expense of the ignoble. Most of the titular councilors remained forever in this rank, not counting on more; they were called "eternal titular advisers", "titulars", and the notorious "general's daughter" remained an inaccessible celestial being, a special, at least, fourth class.

By the way, Gogol's Akaki Akakievich Bashmachkin, and the old man Marmeladov from Crime and Punishment, and A.S. Pushkin, before being promoted to chamber junkers, also vegetated in titles.

Below is the full article Yu.A. Trambitsky, which is currently the most complete compilation of information on the "Table of Ranks" of different years of its existence.

Table of ranks

Recently, the number of works devoted to our historical past has increased dramatically. On the pages of magazines and newspapers flashed terms and concepts associated with the ranks, titles and titles that existed in pre-revolutionary Russia. Some of them, found in the publications of documents of the past, baffle even experienced historians. At the same time, the literature on these issues is extremely poor and few in number. With this article we will try to prevent possible questions from readers - lovers of military history.

On January 24, 1722, Peter I approved the Law on the order of public service in the Russian Empire (ranks by seniority and sequence of ranks). The preparation of this law - the Table of Ranks - began as early as 1719 and was a natural continuation of the reform activities of Peter I, which resulted in an increase in the number of positions in the army and the state apparatus. The "Table of Ranks" was based on similar acts that already existed in Western European countries, especially in Denmark and Prussia. When drafting the law, the ranks that already existed in Russia were also taken into account. The "Table of Ranks" in addition to the table itself had eighteen more points of explanatory text and establishing penalties for its violation. All the ranks of the "Table of Ranks" were divided into three types: military, civilian (civil) and courtiers and were divided into fourteen classes. Interestingly, the law did not explain the very concept of "rank", which is why some historians considered the latter literally and only in the system of rank production, while others - as a particular position. In our opinion, the "Table of Ranks" included both those and other concepts. Gradually, posts were excluded from the "Table of Ranks" [Peter's "Table of Ranks" numbered 262 posts] and at the end of the 18th century they disappeared altogether.

Petrovskaya "Table", determining a place in the hierarchy of the civil service, to some extent made it possible for talented people from the lower classes to advance. "In order to give them the desire to serve and honor them, and not to get impudent and parasites," one of the descriptive articles of the law read. However, as the "Table" was approved in the state system, the rank became more and more an object of reverence, which hindered any democratic processes in the country. Let's remember Griboedov's lines: "I would be glad to serve - it's sickening to listen ...", let's remember the heroes of Chekhov's stories. The French aristocrat Marquis de Custine, who visited Nicholas Russia, was struck by the cult of the rank, defining it as "galvanism, giving the appearance of life to bodies and souls, this," he wrote, "is the only passion that replaces all human passions. The rank is a nation formed into regiments and battalions, a military regime applied to society as a whole and even to estates that have nothing to do with military affairs. A characteristic manifestation of servility was the form of address - titles, which were established in the second half of the 18th century. So, persons who had the ranks of the 1st and 2nd classes were titled "Your Excellency", the 3rd and 4th classes - "Your Excellency", the 5th - "Your Highness", the 6th - 8- th - "Your Excellency" and, finally, 9th-14th grades - "Your Honor". Officials who had the generic title of count or prince were addressed by their subordinates in the form "Your Excellency". Another was the form of address senior in rank to their subordinates. They used the rank and surname ("Captain Ivanov"), adding, if necessary, a princely or county title ("Lieutenant Prince Obolensky").

The military ranks, which had been encountered long before the adoption of the "Table of Ranks" and reflected in the military regulations of 1698 and 1716, were finally fixed by the law of 1722. Initially, the military ranks consisted of four ranks: ground troops, guards, artillery troops and navy. Military ranks were declared higher than their corresponding civil and even court ranks. Such seniority gave an advantage to the military ranks in the main thing - the transition to the highest nobility. Already the 14th class of the "Table" of military ranks (fendrik, from 1730 - ensign) gave the right to hereditary nobility (in the civil service, hereditary nobility was acquired by the rank of 8th class - collegiate assessor, and the rank of collegiate registrar - 14th class , gave the right only to personal nobility).

With the intensification of the crisis of the feudal system in Russia, the autocracy makes attempts to restrict access to the nobility. These questions were discussed in numerous so-called secret committees. The secret committee already "December 6, 1826" prepared a bill protecting the class of nobles from the influx of raznochintsy into it. This bill, although with a delay and some changes, was formalized by the Manifesto on June 11, 1845. According to this law, hereditary nobility was acquired with the promotion of an officer to the headquarters officer rank (8th class). [Civil ranks from the 14th to the 10th grade received personal honorary citizenship, from the 6th grade - personal nobility, from the 5th grade - hereditary nobility] Children born before the father received hereditary nobility constituted a special class category of ober- officer children, and one of them, at the request of the father, could be given hereditary nobility. Alexander II, by decree of December 9, 1856, limited the right to receive hereditary nobility to the rank of colonel (6th class), and in the civil department - to the rank of 4th class (actual state councilor).

A special place in the hierarchy of military ranks was occupied by officers of the guard units of all branches of the armed forces, who in the Petrovsky "Table" received an advantage of two ranks over army officers. An interesting fact is that until 1837, guard officers appointed to new higher positions in the army had the right to retain their guard rank and guard rank production. In the documents of the 18th century, one can often find an appeal like "colonel of the army and life guards captain." In 1798, the rank of colonel of the guard was shifted from the 4th class to the 6th, that is, equal to the rank of an army colonel. This was due to the fact that the commanders of the guards regiments began to be determined by the rank of general, and the colonels of the guards began to occupy the posts of battalion commanders. Only after the military rank reform of 1884, when the army chief officer ranks were transferred one class higher, did the difference between the guard and the army begin to be one class. Service in the guards units also gave an advantage in the production of ranks. As a rule, guards officers who took a transfer from the guards to the army were enrolled in a vacancy in the army units. This is especially true for the positions of battalion commanders and regimental commanders. Having received a new position, and with it a new rank, the guards in the army did not stay for a long time and were again transferred to the guard. With this state of affairs, the desire of non-nobles to the guard is connected. Despite the fact that service in the guards military units required quite significant funds, the desire of graduates of military schools to graduate into the guards especially increased after 1901, when, according to the order of the Military Department (1901, No. 166), direct graduation into the guards was established based on the results final exams. This order aroused dissatisfaction among the majority of the guards officers who came from the old noble families of Russia and served in the 1st and 2nd guards divisions. A year later, the order of 1901 was canceled, and persons of non-noble origin were not sent to the guard, and this despite the fact that the legislation did not restrict the right of non-nobles to act as officers in the guard.

Until the end of the 18th century, artillery officers and engineering ranks had an advantage of one rank over the army. This was explained by the fact that service in the named branches of the military demanded from officers greater education, especially in the field of mathematics. In 1798, this advantage was eliminated, but not for long, and already under Alexander I in 1811, the advantage of one rank against army officers was returned to army artillery and engineering troops. At the same time, the officers of the quartermaster unit also received an advantage of one rank. After the Patriotic War of 1812, some regiments received the status of "young guard", and their officers - an advantage of one rank against ordinary army officers. The named categories had this advantage until 1884.

During the production to the next rank by length of service, the officers had to serve in each rank for 4 years (in the guard, due to the lack of the rank of lieutenant colonel, the captains served the rank of colonel for 6 years). By order of the Military Department No. 187 of July 21, 1896, the rules for the production of staff officers were approved. According to these rules, 50 per cent. vacancies were replaced by those produced by seniority and 50 percent. on the election of the authorities, and from among the last 10 percent. were allocated for production for "special distinctions" (for combat captains only for "combat distinctions"), 20 percent. - for captains who graduated from military academies, the rest - for captains presented for production by election. Thus, the principle of seniority lost its significance, and attestation played the main role.

The Cavaliers of St. George also had benefits for production in the next rank. According to the rules of 1898, officers who were awarded the Order of St. George and served in this rank for 3 years were promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel on the same basis as captains who graduated from the General Staff Academy, even if there was no staff officer vacancy. On preferential terms, the production of lieutenant colonels to colonels was also carried out, if they had a positive attestation and by November 26 - the feast of the Knights of St. George, served in the last rank for 4 years. These rules provided benefits for obtaining the position of commander of a regiment or a separate battalion.

In the military environment, so well shown in Kuprin's "Duel", the availability of benefits almost always aroused anger and envy. These feelings, as a rule, did not extend to the Knights of St. George and officers of the special branches of the armed forces and were addressed mainly to the guardsmen and officers of the General Staff, for whom, as A. A. Samoilo recalled, "the intrigue and arrogance that corroded this environment were very characteristic."

From the military ranks of the Russian army, one should distinguish the retinue ranks of adjutant general and adjutant wing, which had generals and officers close to the emperor. In the reign of Alexander I, these titles formed the concept of "His Imperial Majesty's Retinue". The adjutant wing could only be staff and chief officers. With the production of a staff officer to the rank of general (4th class), the latter could receive the rank of adjutant general, of course, if the emperor himself so desired. In 1827, a special military court rank appeared - Major General of His Majesty's Retinue. Since 1829, the rank of adjutant general was awarded only to generals with the ranks of the 2nd and 3rd classes. At the end of the 19th century, the rank of Adjutant General appeared under the person of His Imperial Majesty, who was listed above the Adjutant General of His Imperial Majesty.

In the publications of historical material, there may also be other concepts, one way or another connected with the ranks and titles of pre-revolutionary Russia. Many of them, having arisen in one meaning, acquired a different meaning over time. Let us briefly dwell on those that are most difficult to understand.

At the end of the 18th century, among non-commissioned officers of noble origin, special ranks were established that were not included in the "Table of Ranks": sword belt ensign (in the infantry), standard junker (dragoons), sword belt junker (in light cavalry and artillery). These ranks did not last long, and already in 1800 all non-commissioned officers - noblemen from infantry units began to be called ensigns. Since 1802, all non-commissioned officers of the chasseurs, artillery, cavalry units, who came from the nobility, began to be called junkers.

In the 60s of the 19th century, the rank of harness-junker reappears, but already in the meaning of a graduate of the cadet school, released into the regiment in anticipation of being promoted to officer. The same rank was given to officer candidates from the lower ranks who passed the officer's examination. Since 1865, students of cadet (military) schools began to be called junkers.

In 1880, the rank of junker belt was again renamed. In the military units where there were ensigns, he became known as a sub-ensign, in the cavalry - as a standard junker, in the Cossack troops - as a sub-ensign. In the regiments, ensigns and standard junkers performed the duties of junior officers.

Since 1906, the meaning of the rank of ensign has changed. Non-commissioned officers who successfully graduated from military school began to be promoted to this rank.

In the Navy in 1882, the rank of midshipman (13th or 14th grade, depending on the length of service) was excluded from the "Table of Ranks", and midshipmen, as before 1860, began to be called students of the senior classes of the Marine schools.

The above table of ranks shows that the Petrovsky "Table of Ranks" has changed over the course of almost two centuries as a result of major reforms.
