The Russian army at the end of the 18th century was probably the largest and arguably one of the strongest armies in Europe. During the reign of Catherine II the Great (1762-1796), she won several important victories in the course of the wars with Turkey, won the war with Poland in 1792 and was instrumental in suppressing the Ko¶ciuszko Uprising in 1794. In none of these wars, however, the Russian army had to resort to deep human reserves. This state of affairs changed for the first time in the period 1806–1807, when Tsar Alexander I decided to appoint a militia (Russian: Narodnoye Opoloco), which can also be considered a kind of a popular uprising composed mainly of Russian peasants. For the second time, during the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815), this militia was called up in 1812 to fight on Russian soil with Napoleon's army. During this campaign, about 420-450 thousand people passed through its ranks. people, and this formation was used intensively in the course of hostilities. Some of its units also served in the campaign of 1813. In general, the Russian militia from 1812-1813 was most often recruited from men whose physical conditions did not allow them to serve in regular units. She was also poorly armed and trained. It is also difficult to talk about her uniform uniform. Nevertheless, it played quite a role in the course of the 1812 campaign.
