I wish I'd written Muffled Drum about these mad bastards, rather than the 19th century Hussars. Thanks to valarltdfor the link.

From the Russian film "1612" if my eyes don't deceive me.

I shall have to seek it out! Very cleverly cut to make 20 or so into hundreds!

It might be cut, it might be the entire Russian army dressed up as it's rumoured the Kremlin co-financed. I watched the intro on YouTube and counted 20 or more historical inaccuracies in the first five minutes. I might still buy it when I have £10 that isn't working too hard.

Also features that extremely common beast of the seventeenth century Russian field, the unicorn...

The husaria look rather splendid in their uniforms. They could be a cavalry of veela with those wings. Great song too.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

How many of them can we make die. Sounds like I need to adopt that.

[mzcalypso.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but the song was written by a woman, so it's not valid.... (snerk)

*sigh* I just love cavalry.
