Russian Archin

The archin (also spelled arshin) is a traditional Russian unit of length that was widely used before the adoption of the metric system. It is approximately equal to 28 inches or 0.7112 meters.

The archin was commonly used in measuring cloth, land, and building dimensions in Russia and neighboring regions. It roughly corresponds to the length of a forearm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger, similar to the cubit.

Though obsolete today, the archin remains an important part of Russian historical measurements and appears in older legal and trade documents.
