Battalion background

Battalion

In 1917, during World War I, the Russian Provisional Government created the 1st Russian Women's Battalion of Death as a propaganda stunt in late May.

The February 1917 revolution in Russia has drastically altered the country's way of life and the course of the Great War. With the monarch's abdication, Bolsheviks are actively spreading propaganda in the trenches, calling for peace with the enemy. Russian officers are powerless without the approval of the Soldiers Committees, and the army is on the brink of collapse. In response, the Russian Provisional Government establishes the female Death Battalion to boost morale, led by Maria Bochkareva, a Cavalier of St. George. The Battalion embodies courage, fortitude, and composure, inspiring soldiers and proving that each female hero is worthy of the Warrior Title.
