On the southern outskirts of the village of Semyonovskoye, in a field, near the road leading through the village of Psarevo to Mozhaisk, there is a monument to battery No. 2 and light No. 2 companies of the Life Guards Artillery Brigade. In the general battle on August 26, 1812, the Russian Guards artillery as a whole distinguished itself in the second half of the day, taking a position on the gentle Semyonov heights. But battery company N ° 2 already from seven o'clock in the morning acted in battle for Bagration's flashes. It was in this direction that Napoleon’s army tried to break through the defenses of the Russian troops, intending to go behind them. Thanks to the skillful and decisive actions of the Russian guards artillery, infantry and cavalry, Napoleon failed to implement this plan.
