Russian Army History?

[Mateus416]

Is there like a good source I can find out and read about the Russian Army during the napoleonic wars? Just out of curiosity? Because I see alot of different kinds of russian regiments with different ranks and names and I'm into military and stuff

If your trying to set up something like a regiment then feel free to PM me and I can set you up. I'd love to help history wise but Bluehawk probally knows more.

 

[romandude]

bluehawk = completely bombarded by historical facts about russia that you would otherwise not have known, and can now rub in the face of your friends.

I'm not going to compile a bibliograpnhy for you,  , but if you PM specific questions I'll answer them for you.

 

[Mateus416]

Alright, I have a question bluehawk sir.  What does "Pehotniy" mean?

 

[Menelaos16]

Infantry

 

[Bluehawk]

Menalaos is right.

Pekhotnyy is the adjective derived from Pekhota - infantry. In January of 1811, all "musketeer regiments" were re-designated "infantry", and most NW regiments are based on the 1812 war or later.
