On June 1, 1998, by order of the commander of the Railway Troops of the Russian Federation 171, the Veteran of the Railway Troops badge was instituted. This sign became the first official symbol that marked the beginning of the development of a strict departmental heraldic system in the Federal Railway Troops Service of the Russian Federation. A year earlier, in preparation for the upcoming 150th anniversary of the military railway workers in 2001, the command of the FSZhV made a decision to start a comprehensive
They do not emit a warlike roar, they do not sparkle with a polished surface, they are not decorated with embossed coats of arms and plumes, and quite often they are generally hidden under jackets. However, today it is simply unthinkable to send soldiers into battle or to ensure the safety of VIPs without these unpretentious-looking armor. Body armor is clothing that prevents bullets from entering the body and, therefore, protects a person from shots. It is made from materials that dissipate
In the conditions of modern combat, a soldier is exposed to various risks, due to which he can lose the opportunity to continue combat work, get injured or die. As a result, the fighter needs protective equipment that can reduce or completely eliminate the existing risks. Over the decades, various means of protection have been created to improve the safety of soldiers. In recent years, proposals have also appeared to create full-fledged protective complexes. In our country, this direction
As you know, each element of the uniform of the military and security officials either has a practical purpose, or exists as a kind of symbol, and shoulder straps are no exception. Shoulder straps, like all other elements of military uniforms, contain a rich history. However, there is a very popular misconception that shoulder straps as an element of military uniform are descendants of knightly armor, namely, special shoulder plates made of metal that protect the shoulders
Shoulder straps are special shoulder signs that are necessary in order to distinguish between military ranks and positions. They are used by the Armed Forces, the police and other paramilitaries. That is why many are interested in this question How to sew a shoulder strap on a jacket It would seem that it is very simple to do this, but in fact it is not entirely true. History of shoulder straps Shoulder straps were first introduced by Peter I around 1683-1699. They used to help
There are several ways to attach shoulder straps to a shirt. Simple methods There are several such options for a match, for a pin, for edging, for a paper clip. Attaching to a paper clip. In order to understand how to attach shoulder straps to a shirt using this method, you must perform the following steps step by step. First of all, the insignia themselves and the shirt must be carefully ironed. This action is performed so that they fit better on the shirt. At
A soldier's shoulder straps are his peculiar business card, that is, one glance at the shoulder insignia is enough to understand what rank a soldier has. The stars on the shoulder straps give enough information about which officer corps a soldier belongs to. However, epaulettes and stars did not immediately acquire a modern look. In pre-revolutionary times, they were interspersed with additional stripes, which were called stripes. Only later did the stars on the shoulder straps of steel
Since May 23, 1994, in connection with the issued decree of the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Federation, the wearing of insignia left over from the Soviet army was considered illegal. From that moment, Russia began to form its own system of national symbols in relation to insignia in the RF Armed Forces. The history of the appearance of insignia Starting from the 16-17 centuries, in the rifle troops, the commander differed from the private in the cut of his uniform, a different type of weapon and himself with a cane on which
False shoulder straps, a derivative of false shoulder straps, are analogous to shoulder straps on which stars are sewn. They differ from the standard ones in that they are used in the field, since in the process of military exercises or in a real combat situation it is necessary to act quickly and swiftly, and in the course of such actions, stars can simply fly off the shoulder straps. Despite the fact that every soldier has spare stars, no one needs extra losses anyway. To that
Each branch and type of troops has its own attributes. In addition to the battle banner and chevrons, shoulder straps are included in the concept of decals. It is for this accessory that one can determine not only the rank of a serviceman, but also his affiliation with one or another army. However, it is very difficult for an unprepared person to do this. Today we will try to understand the colors and lettering on the shoulder straps of servicemen and cadets of the Russian army, as well as law enforcement agencies. Shoulder straps
The story about the introduction of insignia in the Soviet army will have to start with some general questions. In addition, a small excursion into the history of the Russian state will be useful, so as not to formulate empty references to the past. By themselves, shoulder straps represent a kind of product that is worn on the shoulders in order to indicate the position or rank, as well as the type of troops and service affiliation. This is done in several ways, fastening strips, asterisks, making gaps, chevrons.
As with any structure, there is a certain hierarchy in the Russian army. In this case, the pyramid represents military positions and the corresponding army ranks. At the same time, shoulder straps are provided as distinctive signs on the uniform of military personnel. Today we'll talk about what military ranks are present in the Russian army, what are their main differences, how the stars are located on the shoulder straps and how many years to serve until the colonel. Types, rank classification
The military rank in the modern army is a complex hierarchical relationship between military personnel, enshrined in law and military regulations. A certain rank should be awarded to absolutely any serviceman, regardless of his education, type of activity or length of service. Even a young man who was drafted into the ranks of the RF Armed Forces is listed as a private. This gradation makes it possible to distribute the rights and responsibilities of the entire contingent to ensure manageability in the event of real
The modern Russian army has a complex hierarchical structure based on the subordination of the lower levels to the higher. Unconditional subordination within the military regulations is defined by law, and violation of the order is punishable by a military court. In order to effectively carry out management activities, the hierarchical system is implemented by assigning each serviceman a certain military rank. Already at the very beginning of the conscript service, the young man receives the rank of private. Highest rank except for the Supreme
The shoulder straps of the tsarist army of 1914 are rarely mentioned in feature films and history books. Meanwhile, this is an interesting object of study in the imperial age, during the reign of Tsar Nicholas II, uniforms were an object of art. Before the start of the First World War, the decals of the Russian army differed significantly from those that are used now. They were brighter and contained more information, but at the same time did not have functionality and were easily noticeable as in the field.
Shoulder straps are part of a serviceman's clothing, and the arrangement of stars on shoulder straps is considered to be a badge of rank distinction between colleagues. However, it is very important to know at what distance the stars should be on this part of the uniform, since punctuality, discipline and strict adherence to instructions play a huge role in the army. The appearance of a soldier must always be impeccable. Placing stars on shoulder straps according to certain regulations also contributes to
In the course of their activities, servicemen have the opportunity to show heroism, professional knowledge, valor and courage. The experience and skills of those who have devoted a huge part of their lives to military service are especially appreciated. Various medals are instituted by the Ministry of Defense or public organizations as a sign of gratitude and respect. On Defender of the Fatherland Day, on the recommendation of the command of the unit, an active or former soldier can receive a medal as a reward for a veteran of the RF Armed Forces.
In 2002, the Association of the Union of Paratroopers was born in Russia. It unites in itself not only the military personnel of the Airborne Forces, it is, most likely, the partnership and brotherhood of those who valiantly defended the interests of the Motherland on its territory and beyond. We can say that veterans of the elite Airborne Forces, marines, special forces and constitute the backbone of the organization represented. They consider the purpose of their activities to help in the protection of the rights of a serviceman, especially those who were wounded during
Many people who are ignorant of military affairs may wonder what kind of troops there are in the Russian army. The answer here is very simple Russian units include elite troops, ground forces, navy, aviation. Each part has its own function. For large subdivisions of the fleet, aviation, ground forces, there are support departments such as air defense, artillery. Many parts are intertwined. The regiments began to take on a modern look after the collapse of the Russian Empire.
The military uniform of the armed forces of the Russian Federation has always been distinguished by some features. They are subdivided according to color and purpose. The military uniform can be designed for daily use, for field activities and for holidays. All these types of clothing are still subdivided into summer and winter options. The Ministry of Defense has carefully worked out this issue, detailing orders on this aspect of the life of military personnel. The case touched
Relationships in the army must be strictly regulated. This requirement follows from at least two reasons. The first is that the personnel is a quasigroup, organized according to some common characteristics. Psychologists say that if such a group is left to itself, then conflicts in the relationship will surely arise soon. The second statement is more weighty. The army should be not only numerous, but also functional and manageable.
For any state, the armed forces are the guarantor of its security and the inviolability of its territorial borders. In Russia, the army organizes its activities on the basis of certain regulatory documents, these are Federal laws, Government decrees, Presidential decrees, as well as local decrees of executive authorities in the regions. Thanks to a unified legal system, it is possible to effectively manage a multi-thousand contingent, distributing common tasks and quickly resolving security issues.
Until the soldier has retired to the reserve and remains on the list of the unit's personnel, he is guided by the general military regulations. Certain standards for a soldier have been developed in the event of his temporary stay outside the unit. But, as you know, the lack of control necessarily leads to a violation of all the rules, and the volume of these violations is growing like an avalanche. Therefore, in any garrison, the organization of patrolling, which is conducted in places
Many articles, even from legal experts, are devoted to various ways to avoid military service. It is gratifying that the proportion of conscripts who are ready to cross the line of the law is quite small. Most of the guys not only realize the need to fulfill their civic duty, but also consider it their duty to spend a year in the army as a real soldier, who would be an excellent student of combat training, selflessly serve the Motherland, was in good standing with the officers and became the pride of their
To achieve maximum efficiency in the military activities of the army, it is necessary to develop a set of rules that would cover all areas, allowing each soldier to determine his rights and powers in each specific situation. They came to this understanding even during the reign of Peter I, it is not for nothing that he is considered the founder of the introduction of military regulations. Although, in fairness, it should be noted that the history of military regulations in tsarist Russia goes back as far as the 16th century, when the Boyarsky verdict was adopted by order of Ivan the Terrible
Many recruits want to go through the school of life, realizing that this is simply necessary. Recently, the popularity of the military craft has increased significantly. Reforms in the army had a significant impact on the comfort of service. Despite this, in almost all parts of the country they honor the customs and traditions inherited from the older generations. This is especially true for the completion of the service. Graduation from any school is associated with certain experiences, and graduation from the school of life is the moment to which the guy
For military service at all times there was a certain set of laws aimed at increasing efficiency in the conduct of hostilities, on guard duty, as well as order in interpersonal relationships. This code of laws is combined into a charter, which for the soldier is the main legislative document. But since all the issues of the army service cannot be concentrated in a common document, there is a division of the charters by type. In particular, in the modern army, two of them are defined
The army, to one degree or another, concerns every citizen, therefore, willy-nilly, people are aware of it. But the army is too generalized and abstract concept, which includes tanks and footcloths, nuclear weapons and stars on the shoulder straps, and much more. In order to streamline troops by type, establish a certain hierarchy and divide the territory of the state into controlled areas, there is a special term organizational structure armed forces of the Russian Federation. With his help, we today
There can be no regimes in matters of state security. Sovereignty and inviolability must remain at the highest level every minute all year round. To ensure reliable protection, the state is obliged to maintain an active powerful army, ready at any time to repel an attack from an external enemy. Military activity is a complex process that does not stop day or night. Even when the personnel, it would seem, are resting, there are duty officers, sentries, patrolmen at the combat post,
The army is perhaps the most numerous institution that is considered to be regularly functioning. If we add to the contingent currently in service all those liable for military service, including those in the reserve, then more than half of all Russian citizens will be covered. Naturally, such a size of the armed forces will be achieved only as a last resort, when military aggression from another state is inevitable, but even with the available military personnel, of whom there are hundreds of thousands, it is necessary to centrally
In Russian legislation, a number of documents establish the need to provide for military personnel. In general, this concept is quite extensible, since it is necessary to take into account all the rights of a citizen who is in military service in order to list all the components of the allowance. Therefore, the provision is divided into several categories, monetary allowance, clothing provision, medical care, food housing provision. For each category
In 2014, the military equipment of the Russian army soldier was replenished with a new accessory. An item with a complex foreign name, the travel bag, was included in the army standard along with new equipment. From reticule to travel bag, travel bag in French means necessary. So in the West they call a small travel case that has several compartments for placing toilet items in them. The thing is very convenient and necessary, especially in field conditions. Story
Considering all the stages of the creation of the armed forces of Russia, it is necessary to deeply immerse oneself in history, and although during the times of the principalities there is no talk of the Russian Empire, and even more so of a regular army, the emergence of such a concept as defense capability begins precisely from this era. In the XIII century, Russia was represented by separate principalities. Although their military squads were armed with swords, axes, spears, sabers and bows, they could not serve as reliable protection from outside encroachments. Unified army
In June 2017, the media received information about replacing the old emblem of the Russian Armed Forces of the red star with a new red-blue-white star. The news alarmed many public figures, prompting them to react violently to it. A fresh symbol was released by a subordinate design bureau, which dubbed it the Army of Russia. According to the creators, the new star will enhance the image of the national army and give it more masculinity. The origins of the symbol of the Russian army

Traditional disclaimer. This article does not in any way claim to be complete and ultimate truth. The topic of Russian equipment in the nineties is huge and complex, and my humble work is just a superficial educational program, an introduction to the topic. The USSR approached its collapse with very primitive equipment that looked wretched even against the background of the then unpretentious equipment of NATO armies. However, in the nineties, despite the severe economic crisis and lack of money, progress in the field of military equipment,
Shoulder straps are external shoulder marks of distinction in various power structures; they can be used to determine belonging to a particular department, as well as the type and type of troops. The rank of a soldier is determined by the size, number and location of the stars on the shoulder straps. It is very important to know how to properly attach the stars to shoulder straps, because according to the order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, all parameters of the location of the stars for the servicemen of the Russian army and the Order of the Minister of Internal

Perhaps in your student years, a military training teacher told you about the various ranks that are used in our army, but it is unlikely that you absorbed this information with the same eagerness with which you frantically "neigh" in class, smoked in the school yard or pulled pigtails of girls from their class.
Nevertheless, knowledge about this subject should be in the head of every man, so that he, without hesitation, understands who is the "real major" and who is "ensign Shmatko"., Military ranks in the Russian army.
Rank categories in the Russian army
There are two main groups of ranks in the RF troops:
- shipborne (refer to those who serve at sea);
- military (given to representatives of ground forces).
Ship ranks
- Navy (both under water and over water). The sea form has always been to the face of men. It's not for nothing that girls like sailors so much!
- military naval units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It sounds unusual, but there are police officers at sea.
- protection of the coastal (border) service of the Russian FSB.
They do not chase unscrupulous fishermen who have caught a couple of buckets of crucian carp without permission. Their direct responsibility is to catch illegal immigrants and other criminals on the country's water lines.
Military ranks
It is not so easy to see sea captains in snow-white uniforms on the streets of cities, especially if there is no sea nearby. But this is not a reason to be upset!
Titles are also given in:
- Armed Forces.
- Ministry of Internal Affairs (servicemen from the category of "police" or precinct).
- Ministry of Emergency Situations (daredevils rescuing people in trouble).
Vadim, an Emergencies Ministry employee from Khmelnitsky, says that many people imagine the Emergencies Ministry workers as real heroes-rescuers who live all day as if in a thriller. Unfortunately, this is not entirely true. The life of the Emergencies Ministry consists of daily visits to some priests in order to carry out explanatory work, otherwise they will inadvertently burn the church and everyone who came there. And rescuers remove cats from trees, teach old women to heat the stove so as not to die from carbon monoxide. But the employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations still assess their work positively. This is facilitated by titles, uniforms and social benefits.
- foreign intelligence service (Yes, yes! Imagine - new Stirlitz!);
- and other military units of our country.
Rank table
In order to make the description of ranks not so boring, we decided to present information about them like a cheat sheet (military and naval ranks located on the same line are analogous):
| A type | Military | Ship |
| Unofficial | private, corporal, Lance Sergeant, sergeant, staff Sergeant, foreman, ensign, Senior Warrant Officer |
sailor, senior sailor, foreman of the second article, foreman of the first article, Chief Petty Officer, chief ship sergeant major, midshipman, senior warrant officer |
| Junior officers | junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain |
junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, lieutenant captain |
| Senior officers | major, lieutenant colonel, colonel |
1st rank captain, captain of the 2nd rank, captain 3rd rank |
| Senior officers | major general, lieutenant general, colonel general, army General, Marshal of the RF |
rear admiral, vice admiral, admiral, admiral of the fleet |
Shoulder straps
- Soldiers and sailors. There are no insignia for shoulder straps.
- Sergeants and foremen. Stripes are used as insignia. Warriors have long called them "snot".
- Warrant officers and warrant officers. Transversely sewn asterisks are used as insignia. Shoulder straps resemble officers, but without stripes. Also, there may be edges.
- Junior officers. There is a vertical clearance and metal stars (13 mm).
- Senior officers. Two stripes and large metal stars (20 mm).
- Senior officers. Large embroidered stars (22 mm), located vertically; lack of stripes.
- General of the Army, Admiral of the Fleet. A large star with a diameter of 40 mm, not metal, but embroidered.
- Marshal of the Russian Federation. On the chase, one very big star(40 mm). Silver rays diverge in a circle - the shape of a pentagon is obtained. The pattern of the coat of arms of Russia is also noticeable.
Of course, when reading the text, many people hardly try to imagine the appearance of shoulder straps. Therefore, especially for them, there is a picture in which all of the above is clearly depicted.
Unofficial shoulder straps
Officer's shoulder straps
- Marshal of the Russian Federation is the highest rank in the ground forces, but there is also a man above him who can give him orders (even command him to take the emphasis while lying down). This person is the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, who is also the President of the Russian Federation. Remarkably, the title of Supreme Commander-in-Chief is classified as a position, not a military rank.
- Vladimir Putin, who is now in this position, left the Federal Security Service as a colonel. Now, while in office, he gives orders to the military with ranks that he has never achieved in his entire career.
- Both the naval and ground forces are subordinate to the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation. Therefore, the admiral is the highest rank in the hierarchy of the Navy.
- Writing the names of the ranks of the RF Armed Forces with a capital letter in order to show respect to seasoned campaigners is a completely unnecessary matter. All ranks from private to admiral are written with a lowercase letter.
- The prefix "guard" adds a special prestige to the sound of this or that title. Not everyone is destined to receive it, but only those. who serves in the guards regiments.
- The campaigners who have retired from military affairs and calmly dig potatoes at their dacha do not lose their title, but continue to wear it with the prefix "in reserve" or "retired."
Not holding back his laughter, a military pensioner from Kharkov, Alexander, says that a colonel, whether he is retired or in reserve, will bring fear to any traffic cop who brakes him on the road for violating traffic rules. A hundred sweats will come off the guy while he pretends to scold the violator, and then completely release the colonel without a fine. So, the title always helps in life.
- Army doctors are also endowed with special titles. For example, "Major of the Medical Service." The situation is similar for lawyers - “captain of justice”.
George Clooney from Ambulance is, of course, far away, but it still sounds worthy!
- As soon as they have embarked on this path and entered the university, young children become cadets. For now, they can only dream of how they will receive their first title, and then one of the highest. There is another group of students. They are called listeners. These are those who have already received a military rank.
- While there is a one-year conscript service, you can become a sergeant at most. Not higher.
- Since 2012, the ranks of the chief ship sergeant and foreman have been canceled. Formally, they exist, but in reality servicemen receive the following ranks, bypassing these ranks.
- We all know that a major is taller than a lieutenant, but for some reason this logic was not taken into account when ranking general ranks. Lieutenant General is higher in rank than Major General. This is such a system in the armed forces of the Russian Federation.
- To get a new rank in the Russian troops, you need to have a certain length of service and personal achievements. Before assigning another rank to a candidate, commanders judge the soldier's moral character and skills in combat and political training. The table below describes the lifespan requirements required to move from one rank to another:
| Rank | Position |
| Private | All those who have just been called up for service, all lower positions (shooter, driver, gun crew number, driver-mechanic, sapper, reconnaissance officer, radio operator, etc.) |
| Corporal | There are no regular corporal positions. The title is given to soldiers in the lowest ranks, with a high level of training. |
| Junior sergeant, sergeant | Squad leader, tank, guns |
| Staff Sergeant | Deputy platoon leader |
| Sergeant Major | Company Chief |
| Ensign, Art. ensign | Logistics platoon commander, company foreman, warehouse chief, radio station chief and other NCO positions that require high level preparation. Sometimes they work in lower officer positions with a shortage of officers |
| Ensign | Platoon commander. This rank is usually awarded when there is an acute shortage of officers after completing accelerated officer training courses. |
| Lieutenant, Art. lieutenant | Platoon commander, deputy company commander. |
| Captain | Company commander, training platoon leader |
| Major | Deputy battalion commander. Training Company Commander |
| Lieutenant colonel | Battalion commander, deputy regiment commander |
| Colonel | Regiment commander, deputy brigade commander, brigade commander, deputy division commander |
| Major general | Division Commander, Deputy Corps Commander |

In many ways, they have preserved the system inherited from the armed forces of the USSR. But the modern system of military ranks has acquired its own unique features.
The structure of the ranks of the armed forces and the rank and file
Ranks in the troops of our country can be divided into several categories:
- Ordinary staff.
- Junior officers.
- Senior officers.
- Senior officers.
The lowest rank in the modern troops of our country is private. This title is worn by people who are conscripted in the army. Ordinary servicemen of the USSR army began to be called after the war, before the terms "Red Army soldier" and "fighter" were used.
Ordinary stock can be called those citizens of the country who have a military registration specialty: a physician or a lawyer. They are called “private medical service” or, in turn, “justice private”.
Also, the rank and file are called cadets who are trained in order to achieve officer's shoulder straps. During their studies, they can receive ranks related to the rank and file, and, after completing their training, receive the first officer rank.
The best and most experienced of the rank and file are promoted to corporal. This military rank has the right to replace the junior officer, the commander of the squad. A private receives the rank of corporal for the impeccable performance of his duties and the observance of ideal discipline.
The corporal is followed by the rank of junior sergeant. The holder of this rank can command a squad or a combat vehicle. In special cases, a private or corporal may, before leaving military service, be awarded the appointment of a junior sergeant in the reserve.
The sergeant who is higher in the service hierarchy of the junior sergeant also has the right to command a squad or a combat vehicle. The title was introduced in the Soviet armed forces before the war, in 1940. Its owners underwent special training in their units or were promoted from the most honored junior sergeants. The next in the structure of our armed forces is the senior sergeant.
This is followed by the positions of foremen, which were introduced in the Soviet army a little earlier than sergeants - in 1935. In today's Russian army, the best of the senior sergeants who have served in the previous rank for at least six months and have been promoted to a position that presupposes the rank of foreman become foremen.
Within the limits of his company, the foreman serves as the chief for personnel consisting of sergeants and privates. The foreman is subordinate to the officer in charge of the company and can act as the company commander when he is absent.
Since 1972 Soviet troops were replenished with the rank of warrant officer, and since 1981 - senior warrant officer. Its owners, as a rule, graduate from military educational institutions corresponding to the profile, which do not have higher status. Warrant officers are assistants to junior officers.
The lowest officer rank in the troops of our country is a junior lieutenant. Today it is often possessed by cadets completing their training in the military. educational institutions, as well as graduates of lieutenant schools at military units. Sometimes the rank of junior lieutenant can be obtained by graduates of civilian specialties, as well as warrant officers who have shown zeal and ability to serve.
Usually graduates of military universities become lieutenants. After an appropriate period of service and passing certification with a positive result, junior lieutenants move to the next stage - lieutenant. The next step among the ranks of the junior officer corps is the rank of senior lieutenant and captain. The rank of officer of the engineering troops at this stage sounds like "engineer captain", and the rank of artilleryman is the battalion commander (battery commander). In infantry units, a captain is in command of a company.
Senior officer ranks include Major, Lieutenant Colonel, and Colonel. The major has the right to command a training company or be an assistant to the battalion commander. The lieutenant colonel is in command of a battalion or serves as an assistant to the regiment commander.
The colonel has the right to command a regiment, brigade and be the deputy commander of a division. This officer rank was introduced to the armed forces of our country along with a number of others in 1935. In the Navy, the three senior officer ranks of the ground forces correspond to their own ranks of captains of the third, second and first ranks.
The first highest officer rank of the Russian troops is Major General. The holder of this rank can command a division (a combination of up to 15 thousand personnel), and also be a deputy corps commander.
Next comes the rank of lieutenant general. Historically, it arose from the position of a senior officer who was a deputy general. The word "lieutenant" is translated as "deputy". Such a senior officer may be in command of a corps or be a deputy commander of an army. Also, lieutenant generals serve in military headquarters.
A colonel general can be the deputy commander of a military district or command an army. The holders of this military rank hold the positions of the General Staff or the Ministry of Defense. Finally, the highest military rank of the troops of our country - General of the Army - is ranked higher. Today, senior officers of certain branches of the armed forces - artillery, communications, etc., can become army generals.
In the naval forces of our country, the highest officer positions correspond to - rear admiral, vice admiral, admiral and admiral of the fleet.
When we think about the military leaders of the USSR during the Great Patriotic War, traditionally the holders of the title of "Marshal" - G.K. Zhukov, I.S. Konev, K.K. Rokossovsky. Nevertheless, in the post-Soviet period, this rank practically disappeared, and the functions of marshals were transferred to the generals of the army.
In 1935, Marshal was introduced as the highest personal military rank. Soviet Union... It was awarded to the most worthy of the representatives of the highest military leadership and could serve as a badge of distinction. In 1935, a number of the country's highest military leaders of the councils became marshals, who held important posts in the army.
Three of the first five marshals of the USSR in the years following their appointment came under the blow of repression. Therefore, before the start of the war, the new marshals of the Soviet Union were Semyon Timoshenko, Grigory Kulik and Boris Shaposhnikov, who replaced them in responsible posts.
During the war years, the highest rank of marshal was awarded to the most distinguished commanders. The first of the "wartime" marshals was Georgy Zhukov. Almost all the top military men who led the fronts became marshals. Joseph Stalin was promoted to marshal in 1943. The basis was the "positions held by him" of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief and People's Commissar of Defense.
In the post-war period, the military rank, which is rare for the country, was given to the General Secretary L.I. Brezhnev. The persons who held the post of the Minister of Defense - Nikolai Bulgarin, Dmitry Ustinov and Sergey Sokolov - became marshals. In 1987 Dmitry Yazov became Minister of Defense, and three years later he received a personal senior officer rank. Today he is the only retired Marshal to survive.
In 1943, while the war was going on, the title of marshal of the military branch began to be used in the USSR. A little later, the ranks of marshals of special forces were added to them. In the same year, a number of the country's top military councils became such marshals. In particular, the famous military leader Pavel Rotmistrov became a marshal of tank forces. In 1943, the rank of chief marshal of the branch was also introduced.
Most of the ranks of chief marshals were abolished in 1984 - they were retained exclusively for aviation and artillery. But even after 1984, none of the representatives of the country's top military leadership received them. The ranks of marshals and chief marshals of the branches of the armed forces were finally abolished in 1993. In 1991, Evgeny Shaposhnikov became the last air marshal in the country's modern history.
In the modern army of our country there is a rank - "Marshal of the Russian Federation". As in the pre-war period, this is a personal highest military rank. The reason for obtaining the rank of marshal may be the special merits of the officer to the country, recognized by the President.
In 1997, the title was awarded to Igor Sergeev. The awarding of this rank followed the appointment of Igor Dmitrievich as the Minister of Defense of our country. In 2001, the military retired from active service and bore the rank of retired marshal until the end of his life.
Modern ranks in the Russian army are inherited from the Soviet period. The Russian army has partially retained the previous structure and military units. Therefore, the system of military ranks and positions has not undergone major changes.
