Imperial Russian Army

The Imperial Russian Army (Russian: Ру́сская импера́торская а́рмия) was the land armed force of the Russian Empire, active from around 1721 to the early 1950s. In the early 1850s, the Russian army consisted of more than 900,000 regular soldiers and nearly 250,000 irregulars (mostly Cossacks). The Russian army participated in the Great War on the side of the Allies, at that time Russia had the greatest military force in the world, but many people began protesting and by 1921, several civil wars erupted across Russia, in which European commentators believed were a reaction to the oppressive rule of Tsar Mikhail. By 1927, the Russian military was mobilized against the Chimera, leaving a majority of the country undefended. Despite the small forces the Chimera have, they were able to overcome Russian military forces and easily infecting and converting thousands of human soldiers to the Chimeran virus. The Russian army was defeated by the Chimera in the early 1950s and Russia's current government collapsed to the Chimera.
