Russian armament from the 14th century until the second half of the 17th century, by Aleksandr Viskovatov. This is not a primary source, but, it is based on archival material. This is probably a source used by George Gush for Muscovites. I have included some translations from the Russian: 17th century Russian polearms. 17th century Russian pennons. Russian Warriors in 'Teghily' (quilted padded armour) and 'Shapka zhel'eznaya' (caps of iron). Russian Warrior in 'Yushman' (armour of combined mail and plates), 'Shishak' (conical helmet with knob at top) with ventail and 'Yalovetsa' (pennant on helmet); armed with 'Kop'ya' (spear) and 'Sabel' (sabre). Russian Warrior in 'Yushman' (armour of combined mail and plates), 'Zarukava' (vambraces), 'Rukavits' (gauntlets), 'Buturlik' (greaves), he is throwing a 'Sulitsa' (javelin), has a 'Dzhid' (case for javelins) which may also contain a sword, a 'Luk' (bow) in 'Naluch' (bow case) and 'Kolchan' (quiver).

Russian Warrior in a short 'Yushman' (armour of combined mail and plates) and 'Misyurka' (skull cap with mail veil, a type of reinforced coif). Russian Warrior in 'Kuyak' (armour made of round metal plates) and 'Shapka medyanaya' (copper cap). Russian Warrior in 'Zertsalo' (armour vest with centre plate) and 'Shlyem' (generic helmet) (Moscow Kremlin in the 17th century). He has a 'Tarch' (shield, whose upper part consisted of a metallic sleeve with a blade; the Russian Warrior put his arm into this sleeve). Such a shield was designed to be used during the defense of fortresses, though it was rarely seen in practice. He carries a 'Toporki' (axe). Russian armament from the 14th century until the second half of the 17th century. 'Voyevode' (commander) in two 'Pantsiri' (mail shirts) and 'Yerikhonka' (conical pointed helmet).

On his belt he carries both 'Nosh' (knife) and 'Sabel' (sabre). Russian 'Voyevode' (commander) in 'Zertsalo' (armour vest with centre plate) and 'Yerikhonka' (conical pointed helmet).

The high collar on the padded armour is reminiscent of a similar fashion on Mughal and Persian suits.
