There were different kinds of regiments, such as Regulars , Dragoon s, and Reiter s. In 1631 , the Russians created 2 regular regiments in Moscow . During the Russo-Polish War of 1632 - 1634 , 6 more regular regiments, 1 reiter regiment, and 1 dragoon regiment were formed. Initially, they recruited children of the landless Boyars and Streltsy , Volunteer s, Cossack s and others. Commanding Officer s comprised mostly foreigners. After the war with Poland , all of the regiments were disbanded. During another Russo-Polish War of 1654 - 1667 , they were created again and became a principal force of the Russian Army . Often, regular and dragoon regiments were manned with Datochniye Lyudi for lifelong Military Service . Reiters were manned with small or landless Gentry and boyars' children and were paid with money (or lands) for their service. More than a half of the commanding officers were representatives from the gentry. In times of peace, some of the regiments were usually disbanded. In 1681 , there were 33 regular regiments (61,000 men) and 25 dragoon and reiter regiments (29,000 men). In the late 17th century, regiments of the new type represented more than a half of the Russian army and in the beginning of the 18th Century were used for creating a Regular Army . |
