Much has been written about the Military Revolution, a series of
changes in tactics and strategy, the scale of warfare, and the impact
of warfare on society in the late sixteenth century and the first
third of the seventeenth century. However, most of the discussion of
the Military Revolution has centered on Western Europe. The Military
Revolution in Eastern Europe and Russia is often poorly understood. From
the mid-sixteenth to the late seventeenth century, the Russian armed
forces underwent changes in tactics and organization that were truly
revolutionary in their impact on Russian society and helped make Russia
a significant power in Northern and Eastern Europe, laying the groundwork
for the changes that Peter the Great was to bring about.
