The paper analyzes the moral state of military person-nel assigned to military positions occupied by the Preobrazhensky Lifeguard Regiment and the Se-menovsky Lifeguard Regiment, which constituted the 1st Guards Infantry Brigade. The author maintains that the officers’ morale increased combat effectiveness and strengthened discipline of the regiments while other Imperial Army forces experienced degradation. The paper shows that the officers maintained stable and favorable contacts with regimental committees even after the October revolution of 1917. The paper focuses on military actions in which officers and soldiers of the Preobrazhensky Lifeguard Regiment and the Semenovsky Lifeguard Regiment participated in September and October 1917. It ana-lyzes the military personnel’s attitude to the revolutionary events in Petrograd in October 1917. The au-thor maintains that the officers of the two regiments managed to maintain good relations with soldiers and regimental committees, which enabled them to fulfill their missions in conditions which were ex-tremely tragic for the Russian Army.
