Strelets M027 1/72 Medieval Russian Peasant Levy (winter dress)

In the medieval period Russia was a collection of principalities which periodically fought with each other but were unable to unite when faced with an external threat such as the devastating Mongols. These small internal wars were fought by the lords and their dvor – personal retinues of professional armed warriors – while the bulk of the population merely got on with daily life. Since calling out the peasant levy was not under the control of the princes such a call was only made when a genuine and obvious emergency arose, so the peasants were spared participation in their lord’s squabbles.
