The evolution of Russian Artillery is explored in great depth using the wonderful scale plans of Norman Swales. The artillery of Tsarina Catherine II was a mainly a collection of pieces left over from the Seven Years War. Tsar Paul I introduced much needed reform with a new artillery system that under his son, Tsar Alexander I became the excellent M1805 Arakcheev system.
