I admire Your work - the amount and the result of it.
But I am afraid I won't be able to gather exact information about those slavic and other eastern armies that soon. Perhaps release v 2.0 first, and then make an update (if it is possible). Whatever, I can still share my impressions.
My (perhaps not historically exact) vision or Rus halbardiers looks very much like Szelky, but with other weapons and non-mounted.
Those Rus infantry should be there for sure. Actually word Druzina is one of the best ones - it means something like unit, this word has a flavour of community, but not quite. Then make them just Druzina or Druzina infantry, swordsmen or whatever.
(But You should not use the same word for non-slavic Eastern Europe, like Lithuanians or Hungarians, not sure if it would be OK even for Poles.)
A beard is an important element of image of any Rus armies Actually the units that look most Rus of all are Szelky, Lithuanian cavalry and Armoured spearmen...
