The People's Militia ( rus, Народное ополчение, p=nɐˈrodnəjə ɐpɐlˈtɕenʲɪjə, r=Narodnoe opolcheniye, t=popular regimentation) was the name given to irregular troops formed from the population in the Russian Empire and later the Soviet Union, a mass levy.

The People's Militia features prominently in early Russian history, for example in ''The Tale of Igor's Campaign'' when it refers to the entire force led on a campaign.

11th Cavalry Division (Soviet Union)
11 (eleven) is the natural number following 10 and preceding 12. It is the first repdigit. In English, it is the smallest positive integer whose name has three syllables. Name "Eleven" derives from the Old English ', which is first attested in Bede's late 9th-century ''Ecclesiastical History of the English People''. It has cognates in every Germanic language (for example, German ), whose Proto-Germanic ancestor has been reconstructed as , from the prefix (adjectival " one") and suffix , of uncertain meaning. It is sometimes compared with the Lithuanian ', though ' is used as the suffix for all numbers from 11 to 19 (analogously to "-teen"). The Old English form has closer cognates in Old Frisian, Saxon, and Norse, whose ancestor has been reconstructed as . This was formerly thought to be derived from Proto-Germanic (" ten"); it is now sometimes connected with or ("left; remaining"), with the implicit meaning that "one is left" after counting to ten.''Oxford English Dic ...
