Life
Stulow was elected elder of the Volost Wochna of the Ujesd Bogorodsk of the Moscow governorate .
During the war of 1812 , units of the Grande Armée under Marshal Ney occupied Bogorodsk and supplied forage and food in the area . The Volost Assembly met in Wochna and decided to set up a peasant partisan detachment for self-defense, which Gerassim Kurin was to lead. In addition, Stulow had already organized an equestrian division of around 500 men. Kurin and Stulow then reported to the commander of the Vladimir Landwehr, Prince Boris Golitsyn , who assigned a department with 20 Cossacks to support them . There were seven meetings with the French in September and October , during which they took away the food they had stolen from the French and took prisoners. In doing so, they practically blocked the road to Vladimir and prevented the French from advancing further east.
Stulow was honored for his achievements as the only farmer with the St. George's Cross, which was reserved for soldiers , and received the rank of honorable citizen. After the end of the war, the commander of the partisan detachment ordered Lieutenant General Ivan Dorokhov from the young painter Mikhail Terebenev Stulov's portrait .
