Army hierarchy of ranks. Understanding military ranks
As in any structure, there is a certain hierarchy in the Russian army. In this case, the “pyramid” represents military positions and their corresponding army ranks. At the same time, as distinctive signs on the uniform of military personnel, shoulder straps. Today we'll talk about what military ranks are present in the Russian army, what are their main differences, how the stars on the shoulder straps are located and how many years to serve before becoming a colonel.
Types, classification of ranks and types shoulder strap
Let's start by understanding what types of titles exist in general. After all, every person has seen shoulder straps not only on soldiers' and sailors' uniforms, but also on the shoulders of rescue workers, police officers and state security officials. In fact, everything is simple and there are only two types of ranks in Russia: naval and military.
It won’t be difficult to guess that the first ones belong to military personnel Navy(this includes coast guard units, armed forces operating on and under the surface of the water, as well as all naval military units), and military ranks apply to all other types of law enforcement agencies.
As for the classification of ranks in the Russian army, there are officer and non-officer ranks (no jokes, this is really true, albeit primitive). At the same time, officers, in turn, are divided into junior, senior and senior officers. Naturally, the titles are distributed in exactly the same order.
With shoulder straps, everything is somewhat more complicated, since their appearance differs according to a whole list of criteria:
- the color of the shoulder strap (depending on the type of troops, as well as on what uniform they are intended for - everyday, field or ceremonial);
- color of stripes (depending on the type of troops);
- rank (each classification of ranks has a specific order of stripes, stars or stripes).
However, in order to quickly understand the army “constellations”, let’s move on to the direct listing of ranks in ascending order, indicating the corresponding position and insignia.
Non-officer ranks
Next rank in order lieutenant(similar). After graduating from military universities, young lieutenants are assigned to units where they undergo a kind of exam. Its essence is that a newly minted officer is appointed to a position that requires a much higher rank, for example, head of the food service. If lieutenant successfully passes the test, then in the coming years his rank will quickly rise to the required one. Also, the owner of 2 stars in a horizontal row has every reason to be a platoon commander (in rare cases, being a deputy company commander).
Senior Lieutenant(similar to sailors). This rank quickly comes to those lieutenants who do their job best. Starleys are appointed to the position of deputy company commander to perform any functions. Shoulder straps The senior lieutenant is decorated with 3 stars, forming a triangle between them.
Captain (captain-lieutenant). This officer has every right to be appointed as a battalion commander or as a deputy battalion commander. The rank is intermediate between junior and senior officers. The captain's shoulder straps have 4 stars (2 are located horizontally, the remaining 2 are in the vertical row above).
Senior officers
Shoulder straps military personnel of this category are decorated with 2 central longitudinal stripes.
Major (captain third rank). This title precisely implies the position of head of any service, therefore the person in charge lieutenant can progress through his career path relatively quickly. Also major may be deputy battalion commander. On the shoulders of such an officer are located shoulder straps with one large (20 mm) star in the middle.
Lieutenant colonel (captain of the second rank). Often this rank limits the career of a military man. The reason for this is the following - with the rank of lieutenant colonel there may be one of several deputy regiment commanders. Accordingly, advancement in rank is possible only for one single position, which is no longer vacated as often as those listed above. Lieutenant colonel wears 2 large stars on his shoulder straps, similar to those of a lieutenant.
Colonel (captain first rank). As a rule, an officer of this rank is the commander of a military unit (he also heads the regiment headquarters). Besides, Colonel may hold the position of deputy at division headquarters. On the shoulder straps of such a serviceman there are 3 large stars arranged in a triangle.
Senior officers
Shoulder straps This category of military personnel are made with a fabric relief and a strip along the perimeter of the entire shoulder strap (with the exception of one transverse part). Stars are used only in the embroidered version.
Major General (rear admiral). This title implies that its holder is in one of two positions: commander division, or deputy corps commander. The officer's shoulder straps have one 22mm star in the middle.
Lieutenant General (vice admiral). Such an officer has the right to command an entire military district. A serviceman can also be appointed deputy army commander. The distinctive sign of a lieutenant general is 2 large stars arranged in a vertical row.
Colonel General (admiral). A serviceman of this rank is appointed commander-in-chief of any branch or type of troops, as well as commander of the army. On the officer's shoulder straps there are 3 large stars arranged vertically.
Army General (fleet admiral). The highest military rank in the hierarchy of the Russian army. A serviceman can hold the post of commander of a military branch, deputy minister of defense (or even be one), and also head the general staff. Shoulder straps The army general is decorated with one 40-mm embroidered star.
There is also the honorary title of Marshal of the Russian Federation (intended for wartime for particularly distinguished senior officers).
The top of the military hierarchy in Russia is a person who does not have a military rank as such, this is the president of the country. The Supreme Commander-in-Chief is a position, but all holders of the highest military ranks are subordinate to him.
This is the gradation of ranks presented in the Russian army today.

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, without this armor, unsightly in appearance, it is simply unthinkable to send soldiers into battle or ensure the safety of VIPs. Body armor is clothing that prevents bullets from penetrating the body and, therefore, protects a person from shots. It is made from materials that dissipate
In modern combat conditions, a soldier is exposed to various risks, due to which he may lose the opportunity to continue combat work, be injured or die. As a result, a fighter needs protective equipment that can reduce or completely eliminate existing risks. Over the decades, various protective equipment have been created to improve the safety of soldiers. In recent years, proposals have also appeared to create full-fledged protective systems. In our country this is the direction
Since May 23, 1994, in connection with the decree of the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Federation, wearing insignia left over from the Soviet army was considered illegal. From that moment on, Russia began to form its own system of national symbols in relation to insignia in the RF Armed Forces. History of the appearance of insignia Starting from the 16th-17th centuries, in the Streltsy troops, the commander differed from the ordinary in the cut of his uniform, a different type of weapon and a cane along which
Shoulder straps and ranks in the Russian army were created in order to clearly delineate responsibilities between military personnel. The higher the status, the more responsibility is assigned to the soldier to whom the rank is assigned. Shoulder straps play an identifying role, that is, they create a visual image of a military man, namely what position he holds, as well as his military rank. Shoulder straps and ranks in the army play a very important role, and for different troops they have different external
Each branch and type of troops has its own attributes. In addition to the battle flag and chevrons, the concept of distinctive signs includes shoulder straps. It is by 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 letter designations on the shoulder straps of military personnel and cadets of the Russian army, as well as law enforcement agencies. Shoulder straps
Military rank in the modern army is a complex hierarchical relationship between military personnel, enshrined in law and military regulations. A certain rank must be assigned to absolutely any military 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 controllability in the case of real
The modern Russian army has a complex hierarchical structure based on the subordination of lower levels to higher ones. Unconditional submission within the limits of 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 military personnel a certain military rank. Already at the very beginning of his conscription service, the young man receives the rank of private. Highest rank other than Supreme
In the course of their activities, military personnel have the opportunity to demonstrate heroism, professional knowledge, valor, and courage. The experience and skills of those who have given a huge part of their lives to military service are especially valued. As a sign of gratitude and respect, various medals are established by the Ministry of Defense or public organizations. On Defender of the Fatherland Day, upon the recommendation of the unit command, a current or former serviceman may receive a medal as a veteran of the Russian Armed Forces as a reward.
In 2002, the Union of Paratroopers association was born in Russia. It unites not only military personnel of the Airborne Forces, it is, most likely, the camaraderie and brotherhood of those who valiantly defended the interests of the Motherland on its territory and abroad. We can say that veterans of the elite airborne forces, marines, and special forces form the backbone of the presented organization. They consider the purpose of their activities to be assistance in protecting the rights of military personnel, especially those who were wounded during
Many people ignorant of military affairs may wonder what kind of troops the Russian army has. The answer here is very simple: Russian units include elite troops, ground units, navy, and aviation. Each part performs its own function. For large units, navy, air force, ground forces, there are support departments such as air defense, artillery. Many parts are intertwined. The regiments began to develop into their modern form after the collapse of the Russian Empire.
The military uniform of the armed forces of the Russian Federation has always been distinguished by certain features. They are divided by color and purpose. Military uniforms can be intended for daily use, for field activities and for festive occasions. All these types of clothing are also divided into summer and winter options. The Ministry of Defense has carefully studied this issue, detailing orders on this aspect of the life of military personnel. The matter concerned
Relationships in the army must be strictly regulated. This requirement arises from at least two considerations. The first is that the personnel is a quasi-group, organized according to some common characteristics. Psychologists say that if such a group is left to its own devices, conflicts in relationships will soon arise. The second statement is more significant. The army must not only be numerous, but also functional and controllable.
For any state, the armed forces are the guarantor of its security and inviolability of 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 resolutions of executive authorities in the regions. Thanks to a unified legal system, it is possible to effectively manage a contingent of thousands, distributing common tasks and quickly resolving security issues.
As long as the soldier has not retired to the reserve and remains on the list of unit personnel, he is guided by the general military regulations. Certain standards have also been developed for a serviceman in the event of his temporary stay outside the unit. But, as we know, the lack of control necessarily leads to violation of all rules, and the volume of these violations grows like an avalanche. Therefore, in any garrison, as a mandatory event, the organization of patrols is provided, which is carried out in places
Many articles, even from legally savvy specialists, 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 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 in combat training, selflessly serve the Motherland, be in good standing with the officers and become the pride of his
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. This understanding was reached even under 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 to the 16th century, when, by order of Ivan the Terrible, the Boyar verdict was adopted
Many conscripts want to go through the school of life, realizing that this is simply necessary. Recently, the popularity of military craft has increased significantly. Reforms in the army have significantly affected the comfort of serving. Despite this, almost all parts honor the customs and traditions inherited from older generations. This is especially true when completing a service. The end of any school is associated with certain experiences, and the end of the school of life is the moment to which a guy
For military service at all times, there was a certain set of laws aimed at increasing efficiency in combat operations, guard duty, as well as order in interpersonal relationships. This set of laws is combined into a charter, which is the main legislative document for a soldier. But since all issues of military service cannot be concentrated in a common document, there is a division of regulations by type. In particular, in the modern army there are two of them:
The army, to one degree or another, affects every citizen, so, willy-nilly, people are aware of it. But the army is too general and abstract a concept, including tanks and foot wraps, nuclear weapons and stars on shoulder straps, and much more. In order to organize troops by type, establish a certain hierarchy and divide the territory of the state into controlled areas, there is a special term - the organizational structure of the armed forces of the Russian Federation. With his help we are today
There can be no regimes in matters of state security. Sovereignty and integrity must remain at the highest level every minute of the year. To ensure reliable protection, the state is obliged to maintain a powerful army, ready at any moment 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 seem to be resting, there are duty officers, guards, patrol officers,
The army is perhaps the largest 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 reserves, then more than half of all Russian citizens will be covered. Naturally, the armed forces will reach such a size only as a last resort, when military aggression from another state is inevitable, but even the existing military personnel, of whom there are hundreds of thousands, must be centralized
In Russian legislation, a number of documents establish the need to provide military personnel. In general, this concept is quite flexible, since it is necessary to take into account all the rights of a citizen serving in military service in order to list all the components of allowance. Therefore, provision is divided into several categories: monetary allowance, clothing provision, medical care, food housing provision. For each category
In 2014, the Russian army soldier’s combat equipment was replenished with a new accessory. An item with a complex foreign name, a travel bag, entered the army standard along with new equipment. From the handbag to the travel bag Travel bag translated from French means necessary. This is what in the West they call a small travel case that has several compartments for storing toiletries. The thing is very convenient and necessary, especially in hiking conditions. Story
Considering all the stages of the creation of the Russian armed forces, it is necessary to dive deeply into history, and although during the time of the principalities there is no talk of the Russian empire, and even less of a regular army, the emergence of such a concept as defense capability begins precisely from this era. In the 13th century, Rus' 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 against outside attacks. United Army
In June 2017, the media received information about the replacement of the old red star emblem of the Russian Armed Forces with a new red-blue-white star. The news alarmed many public figures, prompting them to react violently to it. The new symbol was released by a subordinate design bureau, which named it the Russian Army. According to the creators, the new star will enhance the image of the Russian army and give it more masculinity. The origins of the symbol of the Russian army
The Electrically Heated Ratnik-Arctic uniform, commissioned by the FSB Border Research Center, has been adopted by the FSB Border Service, which guards borders in the Arctic. The development of the form was carried out by NPC Voenform-design LLC. The technical conditions for the production of the uniform were prepared by June 2013, and in 2015, the Warrior-Arctic was first received by military personnel of the northernmost Russian border post Nagurskoye, located on Earth
Military clothing is the key to the high combat effectiveness of military forces. In Russia, the military uniform meets all the necessary requirements; it is comfortable, reliable and performs its main functions. A new military uniform in our country was released in 2015. Now every soldier of the military forces is equipped with it. Along with the new clothes, new rules for wearing them were issued, which must be followed by a soldier of any rank. Military uniforms are divided into three main types. Dress uniforms are used.
Military uniforms - field, everyday and ceremonial uniforms - are always regulated by the relevant decrees of the Ministry of Defense. However, there are special forces formations in the law enforcement agencies of ministries and departments not related to the Russian Armed Forces, which perform specific tasks, for which they use a very wide range of military and universal uniforms. Special forces uniforms Classification of special forces units Existing units
Russian combat equipment for military personnel Ratnik was developed by FSUE TsNIITOCHMASH. Basic principles for creating a basic complex of special clothing items: Combination of optimal weight, volume, functional and protective features, incl. hygienic and physical-mechanical properties for operation in particularly intensive conditions and in isolation from the main forces when performing tasks. The versatility of the complex. Camouflage properties developed the most universal color and
Traditional disclaimer. This article in no way claims to be complete or the ultimate truth. The topic of Russian equipment in the nineties is huge and complex, and my modest work is just a superficial educational program, an introduction to the topic. The USSR approached its collapse with very primitive equipment, which looked poor even against the backdrop of the then simple equipment of the NATO armies. However, in the nineties, despite the severe economic crisis and lack of money, progress in the field of military equipment,
Recruits who are about to serve in the army and navy receive sets of new-style military uniforms. The photo shows the everyday uniform for the ground forces, navy and aerospace forces of the combined Air Force and Aerospace Defense Forces, as well as the Airborne Forces. The Ministry of Defense has determined a new procedure for issuing military uniforms to conscripts before being sent to military units. 1. Instead of VKPO, an all-season set of field uniforms
The unloading vest, of course, is far from the only type of combat equipment, but today the situation has developed that a fighter, when purchasing equipment, chooses either a combat breastplate or a unloading vest. Apart from Russia, where the RZh unloading vest is part of the standard equipment of an infantryman, vests are used in many armies around the world. Turkish mountain riflemen, gendarmerie and rangers are working against the Kurds to unload the load. Having a large selection of different
Uniforms of cadets, soldiers, sailors Let's start our review with the military uniform for cadets, as well as ordinary personnel of the Army, Air Force and Navy.

Both on land and on water there are military ranks, some of them are similar, but still there is a difference.
So, on land, military ranks are in the following order:
On the water, that is, in the navy, ranks are structured like this:
Sailor, senior sailor, foreman of the second class, petty officer of the first class, chief ship's officer, midshipman, senior midshipman, junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, lieutenant captain, captain of the third rank, captain of the second rank, captain of the first rank, rear admiral, vice admiral , admiral.
Private, in the navy this rank corresponds to a sailor, then corporal, in the navy - senior sailor; junior sergeant, in the navy, foreman of the second article; sergeant-sergeant major of the first article, senior sergeant-sergeant-sergeant; foreman - chief ship foreman; next come warrant officer, in the navy midshipman, senior warrant officers, senior midshipman. Officers: junior lieutenant - same in the navy; lieutenant - the same in the navy; senior lieutenant - the same in the navy; captain, in the navy - captain lieutenant; then follows the senior officers: major - in the navy, captain of the third rank; lieutenant colonel - in the navy, captain of the second rank; colonel - in the navy, captain of the first rank. Next comes the senior officers: major general - rear admiral in the navy; lieutenant general, vice in the navy - admiral; general - colonel-admiral, and the final rank is army general. There were marshals in the USSR, but now, in my opinion, they have been abolished. Only two people had the highest rank of generallisimo: Suvorov and Stalin.
To begin with, I will say that in different countries there are very different ranks, it is also worth noting that the Navy and conventional ground forces also have different ranks, for example the Navy:
And now a few countries to compare ranks. The first will be military ranks of Russia
Military ranks of France
Military ranks of China
Military ranks of Germany
Military ranks of Turkey
The Army and Navy each have their own military ranks. Of course, they have a number of similarities, but they differ both in name and in the number of stars and stripes. One more difference that should be added is the guards regiments.
Private, corporal, junior sergeant, sergeant, senior sergeant, sergeant major, warrant officer, senior warrant officer, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, major general, lieutenant general, colonel general, army general.
Military ranks should be separated for navy and land.
So, as for the ground forces, military ranks are arranged in exactly this order:
As for the distribution of ranks in order in the navy, it looks like this, from lowest to lowest:
As for the Russian Federation. Ranks are military and naval.
Warrant officers and midshipmen:
Junior officers:
Senior officers;
Marshal of the Russian Federation is the highest military rank.

In the Navy, in addition to naval military ranks, there may also be military military ranks, for example, in the Marine Corps, Naval Aviation, and Coastal Fleet Forces. Ship military ranks are expressed by a white or yellow stripe on a black shoulder strap (clearance) or black gaps on a white shoulder strap, on shoulder straps with military military ranks - the gaps will be red or blue. By the way, in the Marine Corps the ship ranks are sailor and senior sailor, then military ranks...
There are military ranks and ranks for those who serve in the navy, the ranks in order in the Russian army are as follows:
Rank and file:
Military ranks: private, corporal, junior sergeant, sergeant, senior sergeant, sergeant major.
Ship ranks: sailor, senior sailor, 2nd class petty officer, 1st class petty officer, chief petty officer, chief ship sergeant major.
Warrant officers and midshipmen:
Military ranks: warrant officer, senior warrant officer
Ship ranks: midshipman, senior midshipman

Junior officers:
Military ranks: junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain;
Ship ranks: junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, lieutenant commander.
Senior officers:
Military ranks: major, lieutenant colonel, colonel;
Ship ranks: captain 3rd rank, captain 2nd rank, captain 1st rank.
Senior officers:
Military ranks: major general, lieutenant general, colonel general, army general; Ship ranks: rear admiral, vice admiral, admiral, fleet admiral.
And of course, Marshal of the Russian Federation.
In the Army and Navy there are military ranks that are similar, but it seems to me that the ranks in the Navy are still more difficult to remember and pronounce. Military ranks on land.
Military ranks in the navy.
It should be noted that in addition to rank in the Army and Navy, position plays a big role. It happens that an officer with a higher rank is subordinate to an officer with a lower rank.
Military ranks are as follows, starting from small:
On land: private, corporal, junior sergeant, senior sergeant, warrant officer, senior warrant officer, junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, major general, lieutenant general, colonel general, army general.
In the navy: sailor, senior sailor, foreman of the second class, foreman of the first class, chief ship's officer, midshipman, senior midshipman, junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, lieutenant captain, captain of the third rank, captain of the second rank, captain of the first rank, rear admiral, vice admiral, admiral.
In the old days there was also the title of Marshal, but it was abolished.

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.
Structure of ranks of the armed forces and rank and file
Ranks in the troops of our country can be divided into several categories:
- Rank and file.
- Junior officers.
- Senior officers.
- Senior officers.
The lowest rank in the modern troops of our country is private. This title is worn by people serving in the military. They began to call ordinary military personnel of the USSR army after the war; before, the terms “Red Army soldier” and “fighter” were in use.
Private reserves can be called those citizens of the country who have a military specialty: a doctor or a lawyer. They are called “ordinary medical service” or, in turn, “ordinary justice”.
Enlisted men are also called cadets who undergo training to achieve officer's shoulder straps. During their studies, they can receive ranks related to the rank and file, and, upon completion of training, receive their first officer rank.
The best and most experienced of the rank and file receive the rank of corporal. This military rank has the right to replace the junior officer commanding the department. A private receives the rank of corporal for the impeccable performance of his duties and adherence to ideal discipline.
Following the corporal comes the rank of junior sergeant. The holder of this rank can command a squad or 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.
A sergeant who is higher in the service hierarchy than a junior sergeant also has the right to command a squad or combat vehicle. The rank was introduced into the Soviet armed forces before the war, in 1940. Its holders underwent special training in their units or were promoted from the most distinguished junior sergeants. Next in the structure of our armed forces is the staff sergeant.
This is followed by the positions of foremen, which were introduced in the Soviet army somewhat earlier than sergeants - in 1935. In today's Russian army, the best senior sergeants who served in the previous rank for at least six months and received a promotion to a position with the rank of foreman become sergeants.
Within his company, the sergeant major serves as the superior officer for the personnel, consisting of sergeants and privates. The sergeant major is subordinate to the officer commanding the company and can act as company commander when he is absent.
Since 1972, the Soviet troops have been replenished with the rank of warrant officer, and since 1981 - senior warrant officer. Its holders, as a rule, graduate from military educational institutions corresponding to their 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 junior lieutenant. Today, it is often possessed by cadets completing their studies in military educational institutions, as well as graduates of lieutenant schools at military units. Sometimes the rank of junior lieutenant can be received by graduates of civilian specialties, as well as warrant officers who have shown zeal and ability to serve.
Typically, 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 level - lieutenant. The next level among the ranks of junior officers is the rank of senior lieutenant and captain. The rank of an engineering officer at this stage is “engineer captain,” and that of an artillery officer is battalion commander (battery commander). In infantry units, a military man with the rank of captain commands 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 battalion commander. The lieutenant colonel commands a battalion or serves as an assistant regiment commander.
The colonel has the right to command a regiment, brigade and be deputy division commander. This officer rank was introduced into 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 unit 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 the second-in-command of a general. The word "lieutenant" is translated as "deputy". Such a high-ranking officer may command a corps or be deputy commander of an army. Lieutenant generals also serve in military headquarters.
A colonel general may be deputy commander of a military district or command an army. Holders of this military rank hold positions in the General Staff or the Ministry of Defense. Finally, above is the highest military rank of our country's troops - army general. Today, senior officers of individual branches of the military - 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 fleet admiral.
When we think about the military leaders of the USSR during the Great Patriotic War, the holders of the rank of “marshal” traditionally come to mind - G.K. Zhukov, I.S. Konev, K.K. Rokossovsky. However, in the post-Soviet period, this rank practically disappeared, and the functions of marshals were transferred to army generals.
In 1935, Marshal of the Soviet Union was introduced as the highest personal military rank. It was awarded to the most worthy representatives of the highest military leadership and could serve as a badge of honor. In 1935, a number of senior military figures in the Soviet country became marshals, holding senior positions in the army.
Three of the first five marshals of the USSR came under the blow of repression in the years following their appointment. Therefore, before the start of the war, Semyon Timoshenko, Grigory Kulik and Boris Shaposhnikov, who replaced them in responsible positions, became the new marshals of the Soviet Union.
During the war, the highest rank of marshal was awarded to the most distinguished commanders. The first of the “wartime” marshals was Georgy Zhukov. Almost all the senior military men who led the fronts became marshals. Joseph Stalin received the rank of marshal in 1943. The basis was the “positions he held” of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief and People's Commissar of Defense.
In the post-war period, Secretary General L.I. received a rare military rank for the country. Brezhnev. Marshals were persons who held the post of Minister of Defense - Nikolai Bulgarin, Dmitry Ustinov and Sergei Sokolov. In 1987, Dmitry Yazov became Minister of Defense, and three years later he received a personal senior officer rank. Today he is the only surviving retired marshal.
In 1943, while the war was going on, the USSR began to use the rank of marshal of the military branch. A little later, the ranks of marshals of special forces were added to them. In the same year, a number of the country's highest military councils became such marshals. In particular, the famous military leader Pavel Rotmistrov became the marshal of tank forces. In 1943, the rank of chief marshal of the military branch was also introduced.
Most of the ranks of chief marshals were abolished in 1984 - retained exclusively for aviation and artillery. But after 1984, none of the representatives of the country’s top military leadership received them either. The ranks of marshals and chief marshals of military branches were finally abolished in 1993. In 1991, Evgeniy Shaposhnikov became the last air marshal in the modern history of the country.
In the modern army of our country there is a title - “Marshal of the Russian Federation”. As in the pre-war period, this is the highest personal military rank. The reason for receiving the rank of marshal may be the officer’s special services 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 Minister of Defense of our country. In 2001, the military man retired from active service and until the end of his life he held the rank of retired marshal.
Modern ranks in the Russian army are inherited from the Soviet period. The Russian Army has partially retained its previous structure and military formations. Therefore, the system of military ranks and positions has not undergone major changes.
To understand what ranks there are, what they are awarded for, or at least what they look like, you need to serve in the army. At school, boys are forced to learn them by heart, but it’s so easy to get confused in them that it’s better not to even bother. In this article we will try to explain it in a simple way and help you understand all the ranks, what they look like and what they give.
All ranks in the Russian army - from junior to senior
Knowing all the ranks in ascending order, you can easily understand who you are addressing or who is addressing you. In Russia there are only two types of military ranks, military and naval. Sailors usually belong to ship ranks:
- Coast security;
- naval military units;
- surface and submarine forces.
Military titles include all other people serving in military units:
- Armed forces;
- other military units and bodies.
Now let's decide what titles there are - from least to greatest. There are only a few subtypes of titles:
- Non-officer title.
- Officer's title.
Non-officer titles include privates, corporals, junior sergeants, “middle” sergeants, senior sergeants, foremen, warrant officers, and senior warrant officers. In the ship type: sailors, senior sailors, foremen in the second and first classes, chief foremen, chief ship foremen, midshipmen and senior midshipmen.
| Military ranks | Ship ranks | |
| junior officers | Ensign | Ensign |
| lieutenant | lieutenant | |
| senior lieutenant | senior lieutenant | |
| captain | captain | |
| senior officers | major | third level captain |
| lieutenant colonels | second level captain | |
| colonels | first level captain | |
| senior officers | major generals | rear admirals |
| lieutenant generals | vice admirals | |
| colonel generals | admirals | |
| army generals | fleet admirals | |
| Marshal of Russia | there is no analogue | |
All these titles are distinguished not only by their names, but also by the presence of shoulder straps. Each title has its own shoulder strap. Soldiers and sailors have no identifying marks. The sergeant and sergeant major have so-called stripes - these are fabric braids. In the army they were nicknamed “snots.” The ensign and midshipman wear vertical stars on their shoulder straps with edgings, but without gaps. The officer corps differs in the number and size of stars.
In the first officer corps (junior) there is one strip, the so-called lumen, the stars must be made of metal and have a diameter of 13 mm. Senior officers have two stripes and stars 20 mm wide. The third officers, that is, the highest ones, have embroidered stars on their shoulder straps of a rather large size (22 mm); they do not have stripes. Army generals and navy admirals have one large embroidered star 40 mm wide on their shoulder straps. The Marshal of the Russian Federation has one large embroidered star, like army generals with a diameter of 40 mm, but silver rays diverging in different directions are also added to it, which form a kind of pentagon. The coat of arms of the Russian Federation must be present in the background.
Now let's look at the faces of all titles, that is, the people leading the Russian army. It is worth noting that the Supreme Commander-in-Chief is the current President of the Russian Federation. It is generally accepted that the Supreme Commander-in-Chief is not a rank, but a position. It is this position that gives the right to be higher than the Marshal of the Russian Federation. The Minister of Defense has the right to simultaneously be the commander-in-chief of the ground and naval forces.
Interesting facts about ranks in the army of the Russian Federation
Military ranks, which are assigned to military personnel of guards units, have the prefix “guard,” that is, “guard lieutenant colonel.”
- Depending on which service the soldier belongs to (it can be legal or medical service), either the word “justice” or “medical service” is added to the title in the required case.
- For military personnel who are retired or in reserve, the word “reserve” or “retired” is added to their rank, depending on the situation.
- People who entered military service and who are studying at a military school are divided into two groups: those who do not have a military title - cadets, and also students.
