During the War 1736-39 with Turkey, many volunteers from Orthodox countries (Serbia, Moldavia, Wallachia and Georgia) entered Russian service and raised numerous volunteer troops of light cavalry, commonly named Hussars.
When the War ended, most of them wished to stay in Russia, because they were from countries stayed under Turkey rule & couldn't return home. They were allowed to stay in Russia and were suggested either to enlist Russian regular army or to settle in the Southern regions of Ukraine.
They had uniforms and weapons similar to the contemporary Austrian hussars. Our well made copy of their swordis engraved with the image of a gallopping "Russian" hussar (see bottom photo).
