from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of Russian army units in the Great Northern War includes all regiments of the Russian army in the period from 1700 to 1721 .

Until March 1708, the regiments were named after their commanders. This led to frequent changes of name of the individual regiments. After 1708 the individual regiments were named after their home provinces. In this list, the provincial names are used insofar as they existed.
