Gosudarev Polk (Tzar's Own Corps) was the most privilege unit of the feudal mounted levy. It consisted of "sotnia"s (unit of about 100 men) raised from high-ranked & richest Moscow nobles & gentry. The Corps took the field only with Tzar. Below is a list of "sotnia"s of Gosudarev Polk in 1656 campaign (in Russian).

Russian army at the siege of Riga, August-October 1656

(This is a repost of the my material from closed www.northernwars.com site)

The main event of the 1656 campaign in Livland was the siege of Riga by Russian Army under Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich. The fortifications of Riga consisted of a wall with ditch and 5 bastions around the old town. In 1652 Swedes had started construction of a new wall with 12 bastions around suburbs, but by 1656 the work was not completed. The Russian vanguard consisting of the Vladimir v. Vizin Reiters, Daniel Krafert Foot and Iunkmann Dragoons approached Riga on Aug 20 and easily threw back the Swedes under GM H. v. Thurn into the city. Von Thurn was killed or captured in the action. The Swedes evacuated the suburbs and withdrew to the old town. A few days late, the main army under Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich arrived on the ships on the Duna River, and laid siege to Riga. Russians occupied three camps, two on the east bank of Duna in Riga's suburbs, and a Corps under Ordyn-Nashokin on the west bank of Duna opposite the Kobrun entrenchment. The events of the siege were recorded in an engraving by Adam Perelli that was first published in 1697 in Samuel Puffendorf's work, Histoire du regne de Charles Gustave Roy de Swede.
