The
Russians are not actively recruiting but if you are keen to
join us then all we ask is that you try to meet our aspiration
to
be as
historically authentic as possible, paying attention to the
fine detail of our various uniform impressions.Our watchword
is
quality not
quantity. That said you will find us to be a welcoming
group who share a common interest in the Russian Army of
the
Great War and
beyond. We are also a family friendly society who can
offer practical advice on where to source items of equipment
and
who would
support individuals who have particular interests they wish to
develop. We believe we have one of
the best Great
War and
Russian Civil War uniform libraries
in the country.
The Russians
attend a number of prestigious re-enactment events both
nationally and locally. Most of our
membership has
worked as film
extras and we bring a wealth of experience and expertise to
the hobby. Every year
we organise a
small scale
multi-period
event at Murton Park, a reconstruction of a Viking Age village
that
doubles nicely
for early twentieth century
Russia. We also work closely with
several WWI re-enactment groups,
in particular
the Birmingham Pals, the Manchesters and
the 116th Hessians and the 13th Guards
Division. These are associations we are proud to
maintain. If you wish to book the Russians to
attend your Living
History or Re-enactment event then we will be
only too happy to assist you in your endeavours
and tailor our impressions to
suit your
event.
