The article is devoted to the study of military and everyday life and frontline life of soldiers of the Russian army in the interrelation with natural-climatic and territorial factors during the Patriotic War of 1812. The study of the processes underlying the
study of everyday life of the Russian army in 1812 has a high value not only from the point of view of anthropological approach to history, but is also an important socio-economic support in the component of the historical process. In order to analyze the structures of military everyday life and front-line living of the servicemen of the Russian Army, the following elements were given research priority: food allowance (nutrition); camp and bivouac standing (housing); social and individual moral norms, and attitudes.
Study and analysis of material and domestic side of everyday life of the Russian army soldiers in 1812.
Analysis of documents and sources of personal origin in order to update the issue of studying the everyday life of servicemen of the Russian army in the period of 1812. The found materials were investigated with the support of the principles of historicism and objectivity. Special historical methods were also applied during the research: problem-chronological, anthropological and comparative-historical.
In the course of the study the peculiarities of food allowance of Russian servicemen were revealed, the specifi cs of marching and bivouac life of the Russian army were analyzed, the infl uence of army structures on the formation of morals and moral
values among soldiers and offi cers of the Russian army, in 1812 was investigated. It is proved that there is a directly proportional dependence between the structures of extreme everyday life and physical as well as spiritual well-being of soldiers under conditions of military campaign.
The continuity of the experience of military everyday life and the conduct of frontline life by servicemen during combat operations may become one of the mechanisms contributing to a signifi cant reduction in non-combat losses among army personnel.
