Denis Davydov (1784-1839) was a Russian poet, the most prominent representative of "hussar poetry", memoirist, lieutenant general. He was one of the commanders of the partisan movement during the Patriotic War of 1812. A representative of the old noble Davydov family. In 1801, Davydov joined the military service in the Chevalier Guards, located in St. Petersburg. In 1803, his political fables began to spread in manuscripts and oral retellings: The Head and the Legs, The River and the Mirror, The Eagless, the Ruff and the Blackcock. In 1804, for his writings, which were considered "outrageous" by the government, Davydov was expelled from the Guard to the Belorussian Hussar Regiment, stationed in Podolsk Province in Little Russia. Davydov's "hussarship" became one of the most striking everyday occurrences and psychological phenomena of the period of 1800-1810. A picturesque and robust image of an old soldier, horseman, "trouble maker and hell-raiser", created by the author in his poems, became beloved not only among the military men, but also took root in secular salons. In 1806, he was transferred to the Guard Hussar Regiment as a lieutenant and arrived to St. Petersburg. Soon afterwards, the war with the French army broke out, and famous Prince Bagration elected him to his aide-de-camp. In company with Bagration, Davydov participated in a number of significant battles.
