Russian Infantry The infantry of the Tzar Alexander 1st is reproduced in this kit with the uniforms used in the late Napoleonic period. At Borodino in 1812, or during the famous “Battle of the Nations” at Leipzig in 1813, the infantrymen of the reformed Russian army wore these uniforms. In addition to soldiers and officers, this kit includes drummers and standard bearers carrying the regimental and the Tzar's insignia.
