Abstract
The article examines the influence of the Caucasian region on the events of the Patriotic War of 1812. Attention is paid to the Moscow fire of September 1812. It destroyed most of the city, and key buildings were damaged – the Kremlin, Moscow University and other important structures. Among the surviving buildings are the house of Count F. V. Rostopchin and the Pozdnyakov Theater. Thanks to the bodyguard (mameluke) Rustam Rosa and other Armenians who remained in the second capital during the occupation period managed to preserve one of the most important places for the peoples of the Caucasus – Armenian Lane. Among the generals who took an active part in the hostilities were representatives of the peoples of the Caucasus. The most famous of them is P. I. Bagration. Besides Bagration, about a dozen generals of Georgian origin took part in the war, as well as the Adygs, Azerbaijanis and other peoples of the Caucasus. The article tells about the adventurer Roman Medox and his creating a mounted detachment from the highlanders of the Caucasus. The central provinces of the Russian Empire sent a considerable number of Polish prisoners to the Caucasus in 1813.
