Prince Valerian (Rustam or Rostom) Grigoryevich Madatov was born in 1782 in Karabakh, in the village of Avetaranots (Chanakhchi), not far from Shushi. He belonged to a fairly well-known Armenian family. In 1797 (according to another version - in 1799), his uncle Jemshid, or Jimmit Shah-Nazarov, the ruler of Karabakh, went to St. Petersburg at the head of an Armenian delegation. He took his nephew with him. The young man was delighted with the splendor of the Russian capital and applied for admission to military service. However, he was refused. But when he had already gone home, to the Caucasus, he was intercepted by a courier with the order of the Emperor to return to St. Petersburg: Pavel remembered the young highlander. Madatov became a sword-ensign of the Life Guards of the Preobrazhensky Regiment, where he served until 1802. From there, with the rank of second lieutenant, he moved to the Pavlovsky Grenadier Regiment. Where he served until 1807 and became a lieutenant. In 1807 he moved to the Mingrelian regiment, with a promotion, and a year later he received the rank of captain.
In 1808, his military path began in the Russian-Turkish war, on the fields of Moldavia and Wallachia. Being in the vanguard of Platov, under the command of P.I.Bagration, 26-year-old Madatov took part in a number of battles, showing extraordinary bravery and courage. For the courage shown in the battles near Brailov, he was awarded his first Order of St. Anna, III degree. Then he bravely proved himself in the battles near Machin, Babadag, Girsovo. On August 30, he was awarded the Order of St. Vladimir IV degree for the battle during the capture of Kyustendzha. Near Rasevat, Madatov with two squadrons put to flight a detachment of four thousand enemy cavalry. "Incredible!" - exclaimed Bagration, who was watching his attack. For this fight, Madatov was awarded a golden sword with the inscription "For Courage". In the battle between the villages of Kalipetro and Kanakli, he was awarded the Order of St. Anna II degree.
In March 1810, at his own request, he was transferred as a captain to the Alexandria Hussar Regiment, where he was promoted to major for distinction.
In the first battle on July 12, 1810, Valerian Madatov, near the village of Chaushkoy, recaptured a Turkish gun with his squadron. On August 26, near Batin, where the Alexandrians acted as part of the detachment of Lieutenant General Ilovaisky, with two squadrons, he utterly defeated the four thousandth cavalry detachment of the Turks. Contemporaries say that when the battle near Batin began, Madatov asked Lansky: “Tell me, what should I do to get the St. George Cross?” - "Break them here!" - said Lanskoy and jokingly pointed out to him a column of many thousands of Turkish horsemen advancing from Shumla. For this case, Madatov was promoted to lieutenant colonel.
However, he received the coveted white cross for the previous feat. Here is what was written in the nominal rescript (dated April 11, 1811) for the award:
"To our Lieutenant Colonel Prince Madatov. The excellent courage and bravery shown by you in the battle against the Turks on July 12 at the village of Chaushkoy, where you and your squadron attacked the enemy infantry and took a gun from the enemy, deserves to be awarded the Order of the Holy Great Martyr and Victorious George, therefore, We most graciously grant you the holder of this order of the fourth class, and while forwarding the sign of it, we command you to put it on yourself and wear it according to the establishment. Our mercy. We remain favorable to you, Alexander."
Contemporaries described his participation in the battles with the Turks across the Danube in this way: "During the entire campaign, he was used by the chiefs wherever a faithful eye and a bold chest, prudent calculation and reckless onslaught were required," and the expression "I was in business with Prince Madatov" meant : "I was ahead and closest to the enemy." "We know," the soldiers said, "that not a single person will be wasted with him." They heard the famous words of Madatov: “I take care of the regiment like a bride; but the hour will come - and I will not spare either people or horses.
In 1812, the Black Hussars were in the vanguard of the 3rd Western Army, under the command of General Lambert, Prince Madatov was already a battalion commander and led the advance detachment of the vanguard. He attacked the enemy, wherever he met: he knocked him out of Ustilug, on July 13 he was the first to enter Brest-Litovsk, on July 15 he distinguished himself in the battle of Kobrin.
The city was garrisoned by Saxons under the command of General Klengel, who competently arranged defenses and bravely defended their positions. The Russian cavalry, which included 7 squadrons of the Alexandrian Hussars, surrounded the city. Lambert sent Madatov with two squadrons of Alexandrians and a hundred Don Cossacks across the Mukhavets River to block the road to Pruzhany. The hussars crossed the river ford and in hand-to-hand combat defeated two squadrons of the Saxons. Then two more squadrons of the Alexandria Regiment, two squadrons of the Starodubovsky Dragoon Regiment, and a squadron of the Tatar Lancers approached Madatov. The enemy, who was trying to escape along the Pruzhany road, subjected Madatov's detachment to heavy artillery fire. A platoon of our horse artillery came to the rescue. With the support of his fire, the dragoons, dismounted to attack, shot down the enemy guns. This cut off the garrison's escape route. Soon Russian troops broke into the city and forced the Saxons to surrender. 2 generals, 76 staff and chief officers and 2382 lower ones were taken prisoner. Captured 8 guns and 4 banners.
Prince Madatov received the Order of St. Anna 2nd class with diamonds for this battle.
Then Madatov distinguished himself near Pruzhany and Gorodechno, where with two squadrons he overthrew the Austrian cavalry with an attack from the flank and rear, for which he received the rank of colonel, near Kaidanov and Borisov. Then he was sent to Poland to destroy enemy arsenals and stocks. On November 11, 1812, near Borisov, a detachment of General Palen stumbled upon a large force of the retreating French and was defeated. He retreated in disarray across a long bridge cluttered with guns and abandoned carts. He was covered by the Alexandria Hussars. The vanguard suffered heavy losses and was under threat of destruction. The words of an eyewitness about the actions of Madatov in this episode:
"... Coming out of the forest and lining up squadrons (he) flies along the front. "Hussars," he says, "I will jump on the enemy, if you lag behind, then captivity or death awaits me, do you really want to destroy all your chiefs?" The hussars, animated by these words, rushed forward and thereby allowed order to be restored.
The Alexandrians suffered heavy losses, but the success of the regiment allowed the artillery to be retained and the infantry to withdraw in an organized manner.
Then Madatov, near the town of Pleschenitsy, defeated a detachment of enemy troops, capturing two generals, 25 officers, 400 soldiers, and one of the first entered Vilna. For this feat, he was awarded a gold saber adorned with diamonds, with the inscription "For Bravery". In the campaign of the Russian army abroad, Prince Valerian was the first to cross the Neman, and then the Vistula, being "the harbinger of invincible troops, which Providence determined to overthrow Napoleon and give freedom to Europe."
An important moment in the career of Prince Madatov and the history of the Black Hussars was the Battle of Kalisz on February 1, 1813. He, at the head of two squadrons of the Alexandria Hussars and the Don Cossack Semenchikov Regiment, attacked the enemy cavalry, which was significantly superior in number, overturned and scattered it. As a result of this attack, two Saxon battalions with two guns were cut off from the main forces. They, reorganized into marching order, began to retreat. Madatov decided to attack, although he had neither infantry nor artillery. The enemy could not withstand the furious hussar attack and surrendered. Madatov received the Order of St. George III degree. The rescript said:
"In retribution for your zealous service and distinction shown in the battle against the French troops of 1813 on February 1st near the city of Kalisz, where you served in your Alexandria Hussars with the rank of colonel, having been sent to the left flank with two squadrons of Alexandrian hussars and The Don Cossack Semenchikov regiment and the enemy cavalry, which had left the village of Barkov, struck with undaunted courage, overturned it and took many prisoners, then cut off the road to the enemy column, and the Saxon General Nostitz surrendered to prisoners of war with two battalions, two cannons and one banner, most mercifully granted We You on the 22nd day of February 1813 as a holder of the Order of St. George of the third class ... "
Then he participated in the capture of Dresden, in the battles of Bautzen and Lutzen. In this battle, Madatov, being in the rearguard, covered the retreat of the Russian troops (Order of St. Vladimir). For 17 days, he took part in heated battles nine times, captured about 1,200 people, 25 officers, one colonel, and destroyed 200 enemy ammunition boxes. Another brilliant hussar, Denis Davydov, called Madatov, whom he knew from the Foreign Campaign, "an unbelievably fearless general"
August 14, 1813 Alexandrians, consisting of 5 squadrons, fought on the Katzbach River with Macdonald's corps. Then the 2nd Hussar Division (Alexandria, Mariupol, Belorussian and Akhtyrsky regiments) was part of the army of the famous Prussian General Blucher. It was raining heavily that day, and the squares of the French infantry could not fire on the mass of the Russian cavalry. Major General Yurkovskiy with Alexandrians and Mariupols hit the French from the front, Lanskoy with Akhtyrs and Belorussians - from the flank, and 6 Cossack regiments of Major General Karpov - from the rear. The Russians captured 50 enemy guns and about 5,000 prisoners. Losses amounted to about 100 people killed, about 400 wounded and up to 100 people missing.
During this battle, all four regiments were the first of the Russian hussars to receive insignia on the shako. These signs were made of white copper in the form of a ribbon and had an engraved inscription: "For distinction on August 14, 1813." Later, the words "for the Katzbach" were added to it.
On this day, the Alexandrians received their beautiful nickname - the Immortal Hussars. After the battle, Blucher drove up to the Alexander Regiment, which had especially distinguished itself. The Alexandrians wore black dolmans, and then the battle went on in the pouring rain, so that the regiment "from the horse's hooves to the tops of the shakos was covered with mud and even looked completely black at close range. Is it on purpose, but it is quite possible that he actually mixed it up, the general Blucher pretended to have mistook our hussars for his favorite Prussian Tod Husaren ("Hussars of Death" - that was the name of the Prussian hussar regiment, dressed in all black). So he turned to the Alexandrians, thanking them for their dashing deed: "Greetings, Hussars of Death!" General "Bryukhov" The Russian troops loved and cherished his praises. But "Hussars of Death" did not sound very Christian, moreover, "tod khuzaren" could easily be confused with "tanz khuzaren" ("dancing hussars") - The 11th Prussian hussar regiment. And Prince V. G. Madatov remembered the name of the Persian Xerxes guards - "immortals". "Not the Hussars of Death, - he answered Blucher. - but the Immortal Hussars!"
In the "battle of the peoples" near Leipzig, in a dashing hussar attack, Madatov was seriously wounded through a bullet in his left hand, "but did not get off his horse, did not leave the battlefield, and until the very end of this famous battle he continued to inspire the Alexandria hussar regiment with an example." For this battle, Valerian Grigorevich received the rank of major general. From a wound, he was treated in the city of Halle, in the liberation of which he had previously participated. The inhabitants of the city showed special honors to the hero: as a token of gratitude, they carried him in their arms to the house allotted to him. Madatov, not recovering, caught up with his Immortal Hussars by the time they entered Paris. As commander of the hussar brigade of the occupying forces, he remained in France until 1816, when he was called to the Caucasus.
Yermolov appointed an energetic hussar general to the post of commander of troops in Karabakh, which Madatov left 20 years ago. In 1817, Madatov became a military district chief in the Shchekino, Shirvan and Karabakh khanates and immediately stopped the raids on the regions he controlled by the Caucasian Tatars, Persians, and Turks. The detachments, led by the prince, made quick and fearless raids, standing in the way of the robbers. In addition to directing military operations, he was much involved in organizing the peaceful life of the highlanders. One of his associates recalled: “The warlike character of Prince Madatov, his knowledge of local languages ​​​​and customs, a mixture of Asian habits with European ones made him invaluably useful in the areas ruled by him. With one of the owners he seemed friendly frank; subjects, the third gave protection and justice. In all his actions, a flexible mind, insight and deep knowledge of the circumstances were visible.
"A woman in Karabakh can walk safely with a golden dish on her head" - such a proverb developed among the highlanders under Madatov. He led the courts ("sofas"), took care of the development of trade and the improvement of mountain roads, the spread of sericulture and the improvement of the breed of the famous Karabakh horses. He also conducted military operations - against the khans of Karakaytaksky and Kazikumyksky, with a hard hand he suppressed the actions of warlike and recalcitrant tribes. In this new rank, Madatov "greatly contributed to the knowledge of Asian customs and oriental languages, especially Tatar, in which he spoke not only freely, but even eloquently.
But not only this information contributed to the excellent correction of Prince Madatov's position, his prudent orders, his open noble character, more than anything else, earned him the love and power of attorney of the khans. "From the notes of Van Galen, a major in the detachment of Prince Madatov: "With one of these owners, he seemed friendly frank, the other - he encouraged the attention of the Russian monarch, the promise of flattering rewards to him and his subjects, the third - he gave the defense of justice, - in all his actions, insight, deep knowledge of circumstances, morals, and that flexibility of mind were visible which is indispensable in relations with the peoples of Asia."
In 1818 A.P. Yermolov took decisive measures to pacify the Chechens in order to stop their robberies and raids on peaceful Caucasians. 1818-1820 Madatov fought in Dagestan. In three months, with a very small detachment in an unfamiliar and mostly impregnable area, he conquered the entire Tabasaran region and Karandaik (Order of St. Anna, 1st degree). Then he defeated the Akushites (Order of St. Anne, 1st class with diamonds). And in two weeks he conquered the Kazykumyk Khanate (the Order of St. Vladimir), thus completing the complete conquest of Northern Dagestan, and with "very little bloodshed." The martial art of Madatov is evidenced, in particular, by his victory over Surkhat-Khan (a two-week conquest of Karandayk), a typical ratio of losses of Russians and enemies. "The losses of the enemy were huge - up to 1500 only killed, the Russians - 17 killed, from the Tatar cavalry - 46 people."
In early August 1819, Madatov took command of an expeditionary detachment assigned to defend the rich Cuban province. Yermolov did not consider Madatov's detachment capable of conducting serious offensive operations and therefore recommended that the prince confine himself to observing Tabasaran, where an uprising of the highlanders was ripening.
Madatov, however, had intelligence that the enemy was not yet ready for active action, and decided to transfer the fight to his own territory in order to defeat the enemy before he gathered his strength. Madatov's plan was quite risky, and Valerian Grigorievich did not even consider it necessary to inform Yermolov about it, since he valued every minute, and took full responsibility for the operation. The Russian detachment suddenly crossed the Samur River and, quickly passing the Kyurinsky Khanate, stood on the very border of the southern Tabasaran.
To hide his intentions, Madatov spread a rumor that he was going to Derbent, but at night he captured Marata, a junction of roads that diverged from there to Cuba, Derbent and Karakaytag. No matter how hard the two-day forced march to Marata was given to his troops, Madatov did not give rest to his subordinates. The inhabitants of the auls through which the Russian troops passed had already sent messengers to the aul of Khoshnii, where several thousand rebels were stationed, to warn their leaders of the approach of the Russians.
It was decided that on the same night to attack the recalcitrant highlanders to capture the main leaders of the uprising. It was about 30 kilometers to the village of Khoshni. In order to surprise the attack, Madatov's detachment had to cover this distance in just one night. Speaking on a campaign, the prince selected only 500 fighters from the entire detachment, on whose strength, will and unconditional courage he could fully rely. In addition, Madatov took with him three guns, a hundred Don Cossacks and native cavalry. The troops marched on Khoshni in a forced march, without halts, in complete silence. For the purpose of secrecy, the wheels of the guns were wrapped in soldier's overcoats.
At dawn they were there. Mounted warriors began to descend into the basin, where the village was located. The infantry, forgetting about fatigue, followed them at a run. The cavalrymen swiftly broke into the enemy camp and caused complete confusion in it. Shots, groans and wild cries resounded from all sides. The stunned rebels began to scatter in different directions. Thus, with one decisive and bold blow, almost without the shedding of blood, the whole of Tabasaran was pacified. Madatov returned to Maraga and from there, in the name of the emperor, he announced forgiveness to all those who participated in the rebellion. Then, with the thunder of cannons, the Tabasarans were solemnly taken to the oath of allegiance to the Russian Tsar.
Yermolov was extremely pleased with the actions of Prince Valerian. “I kiss you, my dear Madatov, and congratulate you on your success,” he wrote to him, “you undertook a bold deed and ended it gloriously ...”
In the same year, on December 19, Madatov became famous in the battle near Lavash during Yermolov's campaign against Akush, where he commanded a bypass column that decided the success of the battle.
Prince Madatov always conducted negotiations with the enemy personally, "without fear of the treachery of the mountaineers, appearing at the places appointed for meetings, without weapons, to show that he did not suspect any treason, and was firmly convinced that, having changed his course of action in this, he would lose the influence that he managed to acquire over these peoples.
In the summer of 1826, the Persian crown prince Abbas Mirza invaded Karabakh with a huge army. Its main forces, under the personal command of the prince, laid siege to Shusha, and the advanced detachment of troops was sent to Tiflis. Madatov was summoned by Yermolov to Tiflis and sent with a small detachment towards the enemy. Madatov was being treated at the Caucasian mineral waters when the order came. The prince overtook the detachment already on the march. The soldiers were exhausted, they ran out of food, but the news of who had been appointed commander of them cheered up and stirred everyone. An eyewitness recalled: "I am unable to describe our delight ... "Thank God, - the soldiers shouted, - we are honored to be under his command." He acted decisively and courageously, his name alone inspired the soldiers and frightened the enemies. he was fired, they told him: “They see you, they mark you,” he answered: “The better that they see me, they will run away sooner.”

Near Shamkhor, Madatov utterly defeated the Persian troops, five times superior to his forces - 10,000 Persians against 2,000 Russians. It would seem that there is no hope for success, but the Russian soldiers boldly went to the enemy, believing in their commander. Suddenly, clouds of dust appeared in the rear of the Russian troops - it seemed that large reserves were approaching. The Persians fled, not knowing that they took the convoy specially left behind by Madatov and at the right time, on his command, began advancing to the battlefield as a reserve. The Shamkhor victory saved the Shusha fortress besieged by the Persians. Congratulating his subordinates, the prince proclaimed: "You are Russian warriors, I will never be defeated with you!"
Russian losses in this battle amounted to 27 people, and Persians about 2000 killed and 1000 captured), thereby forcing Abbas-Mirza to lift the siege of Shusha and move with the main forces to Elisavetpol, where the general battle took place.
Madatov commanded the first line of troops and bore the brunt of the battle, and then pursued the defeated enemy, who abandoned artillery and carts and sought salvation in flight for the Araks. Although the honor of this victory was attributed to Paskevich, many contemporaries believed that he owed his success not to his own military talents, but to the "excellent Yermolov troops" and the "skillful and courageous" actions of the generals subordinate to him. For this victory, which decided the outcome of the war, Madatov was promoted to lieutenant general and awarded a second golden saber, adorned with diamonds, with the inscription "For Courage".
The Persians suffered a crushing defeat and fled from Russia, having managed to burn down Madatov's family estate in Avetaranots (Chanakhchi) on the orders of Abbas Mirza.

But his further relations with the commander-in-chief, who did not like the "Yermolov spirit", did not work out. Paskevich qualified him "only as a brave hussar who did not have his abilities at his disposal," and entrusted him with a purely rear service - the duties of a provision master. Unable to withstand such an insult, the prince applied for a vacation and left for St. Petersburg. Madatov was removed from his post and, only after a few months of disgrace and forced idleness, at his own request, was sent to the Balkans. A new war with Turkey called for the glorious, but last deeds of his life.
Prince Valerian Madatov returned to those battlefields from which his glory began. On May 27, he participated in the famous crossing of the Danube, under the command of the emperor. Nicholas I personally instructs Madatov, who knows the language and customs of the Turks well, to negotiate with them, which he brilliantly accomplished - he convinced the Turks to surrender the fortress of Isakcha without a fight. On June 4, Prince Madatov besieged the Girsovo fortress, but he had no more than 2,000 people. Then the prince resorted to military cunning: he ordered his detachment, changing uniforms many times, to defile in front of the besieged fortress, while he himself, at the negotiations, played the role of an interpreter. On June 11, the fortress surrendered according to the agreement! For this, prince Madatov was declared royal favor.
Madatov showed himself not only from the military side. When the Turkish garrison of Varna, which, upon surrendering the fortress, was allowed to return to the Balkans, passed through the location of his detachment, Madatov showed that he was as philanthropic as he was brave. By his order, the Turks, who were dying in masses from cold and hunger, were provided with all kinds of assistance.
This was followed by a difference at the Seeing - he defeated 6,000 Turks, three times his detachment, losing only 37 people. On November 10, General Dibich appointed Madatov head of the 3rd Hussar Division. April 5, 1829 Madatov comes out with his division, and here he still fought with great skill and courage, winning a number of victories, the most prominent of which was the battle of the Shumla clan. For the brilliant cavalry attack of the Alexandrians and the capture by dismounted hussars of enemy redoubts near the Shumla fortress, Madatov was awarded the Order of Alexander Nevsky.
He had long been ill with throat consumption, and now, due to the most difficult conditions of camp life, the disease flared up with particular force. He overcame himself, wanting to serve the military company, but the disease won and in a few days carried away to the grave a man who had so many times avoided death on the battlefields. On September 4, 1829, Lieutenant General Prince Madatov died. He was only 47 years old.
Paying tribute to the memory of the legendary brave man, the Turks offered the Russian command to bury Madatov in the fence of the Christian Church in the city of Shumla, which was then besieged by the Russian army. The gates of the impregnable fortress were temporarily opened, and a small detachment was let inside with his body and an honorary squadron from a platoon of hussars to give the last military honors. "The death of Prince Madatov saddened the Russian army, was mourned by his subordinates, and inspired regret even in the enemies whom he always struck.
Life, filled with wonderful deeds, was to be closed with an unexpected triumph, and the bravest of the Turks Rashid and the famous Hussein, who had a dangerous opponent in Prince Madatov, as a token of extraordinary respect for the ashes of the hero, opened the gates of impregnable Shumla for him. The body of the prince from the camp to the very church was carried alternately by all the officers of the 3rd Infantry Corps. At the gates of Shumla the sad procession stopped; church singing was heard, the troops bowed their banners and weapons before him, artillery salvoes gave their last earthly honor to his ashes, the gates opened, and the procession entered the city. From the entire convoy, the Turks let in only a platoon of hussars of the Prince of Orange regiment with their trumpeters. The sight of a magnificent Christian burial, unusual for the Turks, and the very appearance of Russians inside Shumla, where an armed enemy had never penetrated, all this together attracted and amazed the inhabitants. The people flocked in crowds; Turkish soldiers hurried to look at the one who had been so terrible for them before. Windows, roofs, fences of houses were humiliated by women who forgot both the strict customs of their country and hatred of the Russians in order to better look at this touching and, at the same time, majestic picture, just as unusual for them. Deep silence and general silence were occasionally interrupted by the sad sound of trumpets ... The procession dragged slowly along the narrow streets of Shumla, with great difficulty reached the fence of the Christian Church of St. George the Victorious, where the remains of a brave warrior were interred, "wrote his adjutant A.S. Khomyakov and I. M. Bakunin.
A few years later, the ashes of Prince Valerian Madatov, with the highest permission, were transported by his wife Sofya Alexandrovna to St. Petersburg and solemnly reburied in the Alexander Nevsky Lavra, where his grave is now located. in memory of her husband, with the assistance of M. R. Kotzebue, A. S. Khomyakov and I. M. Bakunin, compiled the book “The Life of Lieutenant General Prince Madatov” (St. Petersburg, 1837; 3rd ed. 1874). She was a maid of honor to the Empress Elizabeth Alekseevna. Her memoirs were published in Russkaya Starina (1884, vol. 44).
Contemporaries highly appreciated the military talents and brilliant personal qualities of Madatov. Under his command, the soldiers always boldly marched forward, knowing that not a single person would be wasted with him.
"Only those who saw him in the heat of battle," Van Galen wrote, "can know to what extent his fearlessness extended, his calm courage, his instant determination had some kind of inspiration." Field Marshal I.I. Dibich called him the Russian Murat. In the Encyclopedia of Military and Naval Sciences, edited by Lieutenant General Leer, it is noted that he was "the general of that Suvorov school that gave the Russian army Bagration, Miloradovich, Yermolov, Denis Davydov, Kotlyarevsky ...".
Half-length portrait of Madatov, by Dow, is in the Military Gallery of the Winter Palace. His name is found three times among the names of the heroes of the Patriotic War, carved on the marble walls of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.
