No in Russian in Ukrainian

I have both these books, and while I can't read Ukrainian, they are useful for the illustrations. In fact I would recommend them over the two Osprey's on Peter the Great armies, as they are more accurate on the early Petrine forces; the Ospreys are based on Viskovatov's illustrations, which aren't useful for pre-1720.

Really wonderful illustrations. I read the book, the text also deserves attention.

Agree with Clib. They are definitely worth having and the service to the U.S. Was quite fast
