Mar 11, 2013 at 15:06 comment added Darek Wędrychowski I'm pretty sure at least some of them were chained. After all, big amount of recruits in tsar's army were peasants or people of other nationalities forced to join it. F.e. Polish ones, to prevent the next uprising or as a punishment, just like sending to Siberia. It's very easy to imagine they could be chained. Still, no sources, so I add it as a comment.
