Red Army man (Russian: Красноармеец, romanized: Krasnoarmeyets) was the lowest military rank in the Red Army of the Soviet Union from 1918 to 1946.[1]
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.[2]
It was replaced by the rank of Ryadovoy in July 1946.[1]
Its naval equivalent was Red Fleet man.[1][3]
