After 1891, the Russian cavalry received a new weapon, the Russian saber model 1881. It also received a new name - dragoons. The entire Russian cavalry was reorganized into dragoon formations - a tactical tribute to the increasingly difficult conditions for cavalry troops in the face of battles with new, modernized infantry and artillery weapons. The Dragons were a cavalry that could fulfill traditional cavalry tasks but were trained to fight on foot. This peculiar hybrid of units was ideal for territorial capture and harassment operations - a role in which the Russian cavalry performed brilliantly. They played a great role in the Russian Civil War, especially the First Cavalry Regiment of the Bolshevik Army. The Russian cavalry also played an important role during the Second World War,
