Many years ago I collected tiny soldiers. I painted them and participated in tabletop wargames, (a hobby I picked up when my partents shipped me off to a military academy to whip me into shape).🤣 I still receive periodic adverts from the companies who create these miniatures. I am very tempted to acquire these RUS figures. Most of what History I have seen is of the NORSE culture. My family emigrated to America in the late 19th century from Finland, having been forced to leave Sweden for reasons my grandparents would never disclose. The family legend was that they were plotting against the King of Sweden but I Have a feeling the reason was more criminal than political.
