Russian Infantry, part III (or IV, maybe)

Three more russian regiments, in different coat colours. The first one is the Vojvod Apraxin Regiment: raised in 1700 in Moscow from volunteers. At Poltava 1 battalion guarding the camp, the other with the city garrison, then in Finland. Merged with Galitski regiment in 1712.

The second is the "whole red" Regiment Moskovski, here in its 1709 uniform: raised in 1700 in Moscow from volunteers as Col. Ivanitski’s Regiment. At Narva 1700, then in Russia. At Poltava in the Hallart division. Then in Baltic, Pruth 1711, Finland 1713-14 and at the Staket landing, 1719. 

The third and last is the Regiment Nisjegorodski: raised in Moscow trough conscription in 1700 as Col. Bolmann’s regiment. At Narva 1700, Baltic 1702-04. At Poltava in the Hallart division, then Baltic 1710, Pruth 1711, Finland 1713-14 and Swedish east coast 1719. Green uniform 1708-11.

With these six units the infantry for the Maurice refight of Poltava is nearly completed. Only a blue-clad grenadier regiment is still missing, then I had to paint 7 more Dragoon Regiments and a bunch of Cossacks.

The whole August production is here:
