Even according to the plan of Nicholas II, Tsarskoye Selo was to become a special place to commemorate the first global military conflict. It was there that the regiments of the imperial guard were stationed, which first entered the battle in early August 1914. Guards formations and units participated in many battles and suffered heavy losses.
