11th Fanagoriysky Grenadier Regiment

The 11th Fanagoriysky Grenadier Regiment is an infantry unit of the Russian Imperial Army. Фанагория, – from these words the regiment's name (Fanagoriysky), – is an island and town at the Kuban River's mouth. All Russian troops were near the Danube River and in the Caucasus. The commander-in-chief was Prince Potemkin, and Suvorov stood with his detached corps in Birlad near the Austrians. In Suvorov's detachment among other troops were devoid grenadier battalions, which took part in the great victory of Suvorov/Coburg over Cenaze Hasan Pasha on the river Rymnik, where Russians–Austrians defeated 4 times stronger enemy, for which Suvorov received the Count's dignity and nickname Rymniksky. — Here from these battalions Suvorov himself formed his personal, 11th Fanagoriysky Grenadier Regiment.
 * Precedence — May 25, 1790.
 * Regimental holiday — August 30.
 * Headquarters — Moscow.

Catherine II at the beginning of her reign, among other transformations, ordered some grenadier battalions to form a regiment and be called the 4th Grenadier Regiment; then in 1785 the 4th Grenadier Regiment was ordered to be called the Fanagoriysky, and probably immediately Suvorov was appointed by Potemkin as chief of the Fanagoriysky Regiment. This name and the appointment of Suvorov the regiment's chief was due to the fact that shortly before it Suvorov was with a detachment on the Kuban River,—by force and affection he conquered many tribes and their lands joined Russia, just in Phanagorian region.
