Crimean War: Cossacks

The Russian cavalry was the largest in Europe during the Crimean War and included more than sixty regiments spread across twenty cavalry divisions. Among the most feared and famous troops were the legendary Cossacks.

The Cossacks served both as light cavalry and light infantry and were particularly valued for their mobility, speed, and aggressive fighting style. They were often used as scouts, patrols, and irregular troops, where their flexibility made them extremely effective.

Although they were not always considered as strong in traditional battle lines as regular cavalry units, their reputation and fearsome appearance made them a serious threat on the battlefield – especially when they charged with their characteristic lances.
