In 2021 the Honor Guard of the Presidential Regiment celebrates its 65th birthday. Today it is particularly important to show people all the glorious traditions of the honor guard service.

The Honor Guard is primarily engaged in supporting official events featuring participation of the President of the Russian Federation and other state officials both in Russia and abroad, as well as meeting and seeing-off ceremonies of foreign state, government and military delegations on their official visits to Russia. They also serve in the Honor Guard at the Eternal Flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, take part in military parades and other official events.

Engagement in solemn events requires both phenomenal physical conditions and endurance as well as high morale and firm psychological attitude. Hence, only best of the best manage to become part of the Honor Guard of the Presidential Regiment.

In 2021 to celebrate its 65th birthday the Honor Guard together with its Exemplary Military Band prepared a first class spectacular show full of challenging elements that demand special infantry drilling and perfect synchronization.

This program was prepared by Senior Lieutenant Egor Mandro, Deputy Commander of the Honor Guard.
