Semyonovsky Life Guards Regiment
The Semyonovsky Lifeguard Regiment (Russian: Семёновский лейб-гвардии полк, Semyonovsky leyb-gvardii polk) was one of the two oldest guard regiments of the Imperial Russian Army. The other one was the Preobrazhensky Regiment. In 2013, it was recreated for the Russian Armed Forces as a rifle regiment, its name now becoming the 1st Semyonovsky Independent Rifle Regiment (Russian: 1-й отдельный стрелковый Семёновский полк).
