Histoire du modèle
Voici un superbe et rare sabre dragon russe modèle 1881. Ce sabre a équipé les dragons (la cavalerie) de l'Empire jusqu'à la fin de celui-ci en 1917, ainsi que pendant la sanglante guerre civile russe (1917-1923)).
Le modèle dragon de 1881 sera utilisé par les Soviétiques avec des marquages ​​très différents jusqu'au début des années 1950.
Par la suite, la shashka et les sabres ne sont plus portés, sauf à des fins décortives et honorifiques lors des défilés militaires (ex: 9 mai) ou lors des cérémonies officielles.
Contexte historique
La guerre civile russe est l'ensemble des événements qui déchirent l'ancien Empire russe pendant plus de cinq ans, de la fin de 1917 à 1923, l'essentiel des combats ayant pris fin en 1921. Elle se situe dans la continuation de la révolution russe d'octobre 1917;
la plupart des campagnes militaires se sont poursuivies jusqu'à la proclamation de la NEP.
The Russian civil war mainly pits the Bolshevik revolutionaries against the “white” monarchists who favor a return to the former tsarist regime and adepts of an English-style constitutional monarchy in the form of a republic (set up by Kerensky in February 1917, overthrown by Lenin in October of the same year). The main leaders being: Lenin, Trotsky as well as the commanders of the red army such as Semion Boudienny, Mikhaïl Toukhachevski ... (red) / (white) the governor of Russia, Admiral Kolchak, as well as the generals: Kornilov, Denikin, Alexeiev, Miller, Drozdovsky, Wrangel says `` the black baron '' ...
This civil war is first of all an indescribable and very violent chaos, where the Russian state and society disintegrated until their reconstruction and their takeover by the victorious Bolsheviks as well as the execution, and the migration to the stranger, servants and servants of the old regimes (Nicolas II, Kerensky, Kolchak).
