This is the 'cover page' for an expanding web site devoted to presentation
of the Imperial Russia army, especially the uniforms and army organization. It
features extensive illustrations. Articles on other aspects of Russian military
history such as individual campaigns and battles are in the section on Russian
history.
The contents initially will be divided into sections on the uniforms and
organization of the armies of
Peter I, being prepared
Alexander I, being prepared
Nicholas I being prepared
Alexander II and III, being prepred
Nicholas II: being prepared
These sections are mainly the illustrations of the uniforms of the Russian army
published by Viskovatov.
Here we have 30 color plates from L' Armee
Russe These apparently are from the era of Tsar Alexander II, judging from
the monogram.
And we now are installing several hundred pictures of the regimental uniforms
circa 1910-11 from the book by Colonel V. K.
Shenk.
We have several paintings we commissioned of Grand Prince Dmitri Ivanovich
Donskoi, Grand Prince Alexander Nevski, Count Petr Saltyakov,
Prince Suvorov, Prince Bagration, Russian cavalryman,
Russian infantryman and Marshal Zhukov. We have an
article on the Streltzi by Richard Sanders and one
on passages from the diary of General Patrick Gordon
by John Sloan, both originally published in our Gorget and Sash. We now are
again receiving multiple but limited numbers of copies of the fine Russian
military history magazine Tsekhgaus (Arsenal)
Arsenal 1 Arsenal 11 - Arsenal 12 - Arsenal 13. Arsenal 14, Arsenal 15, Arsenal 16
