Red Army man

Red Army man (Russian: Красноармеец, romanizedKrasnoarmeyets) was the lowest military rank in the Red Army of the Soviet Union from 1918 to 1946.

On 30 November 1917, after the October Revolution, the Military Revolutionary Committee cancelled all "officer and class ranks". Henceforth, the term Red Army man was used to refer to all ordinary soldiers.

It was replaced by the rank of Ryadovoy in July 1946.

Its naval equivalent was Red Fleet man.
