Wow, those paintings and illustrations are amazing! I didn't know about the fight between the Russians and Persians in 1812. Seems like it was a small battle, with only on Russian infantry regiment involved, but still, quite interesting. Thanks for posting! |

Excellent – very little is usually presented about Persians in this era. |
