Description

The Emergence of the Russian Army 1462-1689 This book explores the development of the early modern Russian army, from its origins in the East to its emergence as a distinct military force. The author reveals how the Muscovite military system was shaped by its association with the Mongol Golden Horde and later influenced by links with the Northern Caucasus and Siberia. The book sheds new light on the impact of Oriental influences on the Russian army, drawing on previously untapped sources such as a Swedish intelligence officer's handbook from 1673/1674. This information provides valuable insights into Russia's military capabilities during the second half of the seventeenth century, when it was able to hold its own against both Western and Eastern adversaries. The book concludes with 1689, marking the beginning of Tsar Peter's reign and a significant turning point in Russian history.
