Battalion 752: on the fronts of both parts of the world.
The 752nd Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment traces its history to the 210th Rifle Regiment, which was formed on June 26, 1939 in the Ural Military District. Already that year its men participated in the battles in Khalkhin Gul, and in the fall of 1941 the battalion was transferred from Mongolia to Moscow, where it participated in the defense of the capital.
In March 1942, the unit received the rank of guards and in 1943, the 17th mechanized brigade of the guard was established on its basis. The guards participated in the liberation of Ukraine and Poland, as well as in the Berlin and Prague operations, and visited Czechoslovakia twice - the second time as part of the Danube operation in 1968.
The 752nd Guards Motorized Rifle Battalion inherited the rich military regalia of its predecessors. He bears the honorary name "Peterkovsky", is twice a Red Banner, was awarded the orders of Suvorov, Kutuzov and Bogdan Khmelnytskyi, and also bears the name "Volga Cossack".
The formation was reorganized several times, and in 2016, on the basis of the 23rd Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade, the 752nd Guards Motorized Rifle Battalion was re-established, which became part of the 3rd Motorized Weapons Division of the 20th Guards Combined Arms Army.
Today, in the area of the Northern Military District, the units of the battalion carry out combat missions as part of the "West" and "North" force groups, continuing the heroic traditions of their predecessors.
