I'm painting up a Russian army for the mid/late 17th century and am unsure how to paint them. I've read from various books that both boyars and "western" style cavalry had to equip themselves so I would assume no real uniform however Osprey's book on Peter The Great's cavalry shows some metropolitan Moscow boyars in a grey/raspberry uniform as seen below. Is there anything to indicate some would be some in uniform? Thanks!
