=== Marshal of an arm=== | ||
The ranks of ''] of an arm'' and ''Marshal of an arm'' were used in five Soviet military branches; these being the Air Force, Artillery, Tank Forces, Engineer Forces, and Signal Forces. These ranks were established in ] and were both equivalent to ], although they maintained precedence between each other. | |||
The ] of ] cancelled the privileges of Russian nobility (]). The ] was abolished and so were the personal military ranks. The army and the navy has returned to a system of ''positional ranks'' that were acronyms of the full position names. For example, ''komdiv'' was an acronym of ''] Commander''; likewise ''kombat'' was ''] Commander'', etc. These acronyms have survived as informal position names to the present day. | |||
The personal ranks were not reintroduced until ], and ] ranks were restored in May ]. The ranks were based on Russian Empire military ranks, although they underwent some modifications; the modified Imperial rank ] was reintroduced in ]. | |||
In the 1970s, the non-commissioned officers serving under ] and holding '''Starshina''' (]) rank were reassigned to newly-created '''Praporshchik''' rank (not to be confused with similarly named ] rank of commissioned officers); ''starshina'' was reserved for conscripts only. | |||
The table of Soviet military ranks is in the section below (as they were the same as present military ranks of the Russian Federation). | |||

Ranks of the Soviet Military |
History of the Soviet Military |
The military ranks of the Soviet Union were those introduced after the October Revolution of 1917. From then the Imperial Table of Ranks was abolished, as was the right of the pre Soviet nobility to acquire personal ranks or special rights assigned to them previously. Soviet ranks were abolished in 1991 after the collapse of the Soviet Union, although modern Russian military insignia has been largely adopted from the Soviet system.
