==Honours and legacy==
On 15 October 1800, Bagration was granted the hereditary title of a Prince of the Russian Empire (''Kniaz Bagration'') by the [[Emperor Paul I]]. He was also awarded the Orders of [[Order of St Andrew|St Andrew]] (1810), of [[Order of St. Alexander Nevsky|St. Alexander Nevsky]] (1807), of the [[Order of St Vladimir|St Vladimir]], 1st class (1809), of the [[Order of St Anna|St Anna]], 1st class (1800), the [[Order of St George|St George]] 2nd class (1805) and made a commander of the [[Russian tradition of the Knights Hospitaller|Order of St John of Jerusalem]] (1800). He was further honoured with a [[Gold Sword for Bravery|gold sword of honour for bravery]] (1808).{{citation needed|date=June 2020}} Bagration's foreign awards also included the Prussian Orders of [[Order of the Red Eagle|the Red Eagle]] (1807) and [[Order of the Black Eagle|the Black Eagle]] (1807), the Austrian Military [[Order of Maria Theresa]], 2nd class (1799) and the Sardinian [[Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus]], 1st Class (1799).

He is a secondary character in [[Leo Tolstoy]]'s epic 1869 novel ''[[War and Peace]]''. In the 1960s Russian movie ''[[War and Peace (film series)|War and Peace]]'', he is played by [[Giuli Chokhonelidze]], who repeated the role in the 1985 Russian [[biopic]] ''Bagrationi''. In the [[War & Peace (2016 TV series)|2016 BBC TV adaptation]] of ''War and Peace'', he is played by [[Pip Torrens]].

[[Nicholas I of Russia|Tsar Nicholas I]] had a monument erected in his honour on the battlefield of Borodino. The general's remains were transferred to the place where he had fallen and remain there to this day. The grave was blown up during [[World War II]] (reputedly, the local museum authorities were able to save only shreds of bone and cloth from the grave) but has since then been restored.

[[Joseph Stalin]] chose Bagration as the name of the [[Operation Bagration|Soviet offensive]] launched on 22 June 1944 that defeated the German [[Army Group Centre]] and drove the forces of [[Nazi Germany]] out of what is now [[Belarus]]. After the war, the Soviet Union annexed northern [[East Prussia]], and the until-then German town of Preußisch Eylau—the scene of the 1807 battle—was renamed [[Bagrationovsk]] in his memory.

An asteroid [[3127 Bagration]] is named after Prince Bagration.

In [[Moscow]], the [[Bagrationovskaya]] [[Moscow Metro|metro]] station, Bagration pass in [[Filyovsky Park District]] and the [[Bagration Bridge]], which commemorates the 850th year of the city, were named in his honour. Many streets across the different cities in Russia also hold his name.

In August 2023, a new highway near [[Kutuzovsky Prospekt]], was named Bagration Avenue.

In the 20th and 21st centuries, at least 15 ships associated with the name of P.I. Bagration.<ref>Patriotic War of 1812 about the liberation campaigns of the Russian Army of 1813–1814. Sources.
