Information about Russian uniforms for the first half of the Great Northern War is unfortunately in short supply since the Russian army lost their archives during their failed campaign against the Turks at Prut in 1711. In addition to that most Russian regiments did not have stable uniform colours during this period and they frequently changed colours each time they received new uniforms. All this means that any attempt to illustrate Russian uniforms in the battles of the Great Northern War will inevitable be more or less speculative. This is also true for the images on this page which should be viewed as qualified guesses on how the uniforms looked like in the battle of Poltava (and in some cases also their Eastern uniforms in the battle of Narva).

For a long time there was no good literature available on this subject since for example the Osprey books covering Peter the Great's army by Angus Konstam (1993-94) got its information from A. V. Viskovatov's Russian-language work from the 19th century, which has proven to be a very unreliable source. Thorough archive research resulted however in a Russian-language book on the Russian army 1700-1730 by K. V. Tatarnikov in 2008 and its uniform data is since 2018 available in English in the book "The Russian Army in the Great Northern War 1700-21" by Boris Megorsky. It is the latter book that is my main source to my pages on Russian uniforms. But alongside Megorsky's information I have also included information from Lars-Eric Höglund and Alexander Bespalov's book  "Stora nordiska kriget 1700-1721, III" from 2004. In those cases Höglund/Bespalov have uniform data that is not mentioned by Megorsky it usually means they got it from Viskovatov which, as previously stated, is not a reliable source. But for anyone who wants to paint miniature figures, unreliable information is still better than no information at all.

Russian Uniforms in General

In the beginning of the Great Northern War the Russian army still used Eastern style uniforms and it was not until December 1702 the first Western style uniforms began to be issued. Because coats were only replaced about every third year, it was not until 1705 when Western uniforms had fully replaced the older uniforms. During the transition period regiments could be seen wearing a mix of Eastern and Western equipment such as a Western coat but a cap trimmed with bearskin and older boots.

The earliest Western coats may have had double rows of buttons (similar to Danish coats) but in 1708 the Preobrazhenski Guard was to be issued coats with a single row of buttons and the rest of the army followed their example. Although as late as 1711 there were still several regiments with double breasted coats. The buttons on the early coats were covered with cloth but it then became standard that the infantry was to have pewter buttons while grenadiers and dragoons were to have brass buttons.

Initially the coats did not have a collar at all or a standing collar in the same colour as the coat. A falling collar was introduced for the artillery 1704, for dragoons 1706 and for the Guard in 1712.

There was a considerable variation in colours but from 1708 it was decided that green was the preferred colour on an infantry coat. A shortage of cloth with the right colour meant however that the regiments had to settle for whatever was available and the colour could change dramatically each time the regiment was issued new uniforms.

All regiments were stationed in Saint Petersburg and its surroundings but managed to arrive in time for the battle of Poltava. Immediately afterwards the regiment was disbanded just to be resurrected in January 1710. At that time the grenadier companies came from Arkhangelgorodski, Belozerski, Vladimirski, Smolenski and Chemer's regiments. In 1711 the companies from Permski and Chemer were returned.

This regiment is usually called the Second Grenadier Regiment because it was the younger of the two grenadier regiments stationed in Finland.

Russian Auxiliary Corps to Saxony
1704-06

According to Höglund/Bespalov this auxiliary corps included 17 regiments which consisted of more than 10,600 men plus officers. Vlad Velikanov's blog Oderint dum probent have however conflicting information and states a strength for the corps of 11 regiments which together with a corps staff consisted of 9,852 men. In any case this original force would be reorganised during its stay in Saxony 1705 to just 8 regiments consisting of 6,300 men. This force was largely annihilated in the battle of Fraustadt and the survivors created Rentzel's Regiment (also called the Saxon Regiment) which is recorded above.

Only Höglund/Bespalov have uniform data for these regiments. Two combinations were worn by more than one regiment and it is these that are illustrated in the two images here. They are referred to has uniform A and uniform B in the table below.

When the corps was reorganised to eight regiments in 1705 (called: Schöpping, Belling, Patkul, Holstein, Bilits, Gulitz and Arnstedt as well as streltsies commanded by Cadeus), they were also issued new uniforms. The sources  have conflicting information about them. The coats were either white, green or both. In any case these uniforms were turned inside out in the battle of Fraustadt so that the red lining would make them look like Saxons.
