INTRODUCTION

The presence of personal military ranks among servicemen is one of the features of military service. Military ranks provide clarity and clarity in the relationship and subordination of military personnel, i.e. provide a relationship of power and subordination. Military ranks have a significant impact on the conditions and procedure for the service of the relevant categories of military personnel, on the scope of their service and personal rights (for example, on the additional total living area for a colonel).

LIST OF MILITARY RANKS OF MILITARY SERVICES OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

1. Before the military rank of a serviceman serving in a guards military unit or guards formation, on a guards ship, the word "guards" is added.

2. To the military ranks of military personnel; having a legal, medical or veterinary military specialty, the words "justice", "medical service" or "veterinary service" are added respectively.

For example: lieutenant of the medical service, captain of the veterinary service, major general of the medical service, colonel general of justice.

To the military rank of a person who is in the reserve (reserve) or retired, the word "reserve" ("reserve") or "retired" is added, respectively.

3. The name of the type of troops or service is not added to the military ranks of sergeants (foremen) and warrant officers (midshipmen).

4. Military personnel studying in a military educational institution of vocational education are called: those who do not have the military rank of officers - cadets, and those who have a military rank - listeners.

Citizens who did not have a military rank before entering a military educational institution of vocational education or who had the military rank of a soldier, sailor, are assigned the military rank of cadet when enrolling for study. Other military ranks assigned before entering a military educational institution of vocational education are retained.

FORM AND INSIGNIA IN THE ARMED FORCES OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

military rank distinction

Legally, the Armed Forces of Russia have existed since May 7, 1992 (Decree of the President of Russia No. 466). Also, legally, the Soviet Army ceased to exist on December 25, 1991, at the time the Belovezhskaya Agreement on the liquidation of the USSR came into force. In fact, the Soviet Army began to disintegrate in the autumn of 1989, when the former Soviet republics of the USSR, one after another, began to declare their state sovereignty and that all military property and weapons of the Soviet Army located on their territory is the property of the newly created sovereign states. During this period, the actual creation of national armies began. The leadership of Russia and the Soviet Army made feeble attempts to maintain a single army under the name of the United Armed Forces of the Union of Independent States (Allied Armed Forces of the CIS). However, it was not possible to stop the process of pulling apart the once mighty army to national quarters. Legally, the CIS Allied Forces existed from 12/25/1991 to 05/07/1992.

Servicemen of the units of the Soviet Army (OVS CIS) stationed on the territory of Russia from December 1991 to May 1992 continued to wear the uniform and insignia of the Soviet Army. Since the legal registration of the Russian Army on May 7, 1992, wearing the uniform and insignia of the Soviet Army is, in fact, considered illegal. However, only on May 23, 1994, Decree of the President of Russia No. 1010 was issued on the introduction of uniforms and insignia of the Armed Forces of Russia (including the Russian Army). On the new dress uniform of soldiers and sergeants, on its first samples, shoulder straps, as in the US Army, were a detail of the uniform itself (shoulder straps). However, with the small size of shoulder straps and thick fabric, these shoulder straps on the uniform did not lie on the shoulders, but rose in strange arcs. A new version of the shoulder strap appears immediately - on a solid base, green in color with a checkerboard pattern.

Literally two or three months later, the third version of the shoulder strap appears - with two narrow stripes of scarlet color (for all ground forces) or blue (for aviation and the Airborne Forces). After 6-8 months, the fourth version of the front shoulder strap appears - with yellow letters at the bottom shoulder strap "VS".

The main uniform worn by soldiers and sergeants on a daily basis is either a cotton uniform of the 1970 model with large Soviet-style khaki shoulder straps, or an Afghan field uniform with shoulder straps.

The main insignia of military personnel in the Russian Army are shoulder straps, lapel emblems and chevrons. And also badges of distinction appeared, they are on the right half of the tunic, on the left - a patch with a blood type and Rh factor.

Also, all servicemen of the Russian Army must have a chevron "Russia - Armed Forces" on the left shoulder or for the Navy "Russia - Navy". This sign is the legal force of a serviceman; without this sign, a serviceman is not considered as such.

Some insignia:

Shoulder straps: Typical shoulder straps are more or less rectangular plates worn on the shoulders with the title of the owner of the shoulder straps marked on them in one way or another. As a rule, stiff epaulets sewn with galloons with bright stars and badges are worn with full dress uniforms, while more modest cloth epaulettes without sewing are usually used with field uniforms.

Lapel Emblems: Paired emblems located at the top of the buttonholes. Servicemen wear lapel pins (emblems) according to the type of troops to which the specialty of this serviceman belongs, in contrast to the buttonhole worn according to the type of troops of their unit.

Marshal's star: The name of two honorary insignia of the highest military ranks. Both are in the form of a five-pointed star made of gold and platinum with diamonds, worn with full dress around the neck (under the collar of the uniform, and since 1955 - on the knot of the tie). The two types of the Marshal's Star differ in size and the presence of diamonds between the arms. Their official names changed, depending on which military ranks received the right to wear them: conventionally, they can be designated as the Marshal's Star of the "large" and "small" type.

The Marshal's Star of the "big" type was the insignia of the ranks Marshal of the Soviet Union (since the establishment, September 2, 1940) and Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union (since March 3, 1955). In the Russian Armed Forces, it is the insignia of the rank of Marshal of the Russian Federation.

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 furiously “neighed” 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 the “ensign Shmatko”, military ranks in the Russian army.

Categories of rank in the army of the Russian Federation

There are two main groups of ranks in the troops of the Russian Federation:

• ship (refer to those who serve at sea);
• military (go to representatives of the ground troops).

Ship ranks

1. Navy (both under water and over water). The marine uniform has always been to the face of men. No wonder girls like sailors so much!
2. military naval units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It sounds unusual, but there are police officers at sea.
3. protection of the coastal (Border) service of the Russian FSB.

They are not chasing unscrupulous fishermen who caught a couple of buckets of carp without permission. Their direct responsibility is the capture of illegal immigrants and other criminals on the water frontiers of the country.

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 no reason to be upset!

Ranks are also given in:

1. Armed Forces.
2. Ministry of Internal Affairs (servicemen from the category "policemen" or district police officers).
3. Ministry of Emergency Situations (dared men rescuing people in trouble).

Vadim, an EMERCOM worker from Khmelnitsky, says that many people imagine the EMERCOM workers as real rescue heroes who live all day long as if in a thriller. Unfortunately, this is not entirely true. The life of the Ministry of Emergency Situations consists of daily visits by some priests in order to carry out explanatory work, otherwise they will inadvertently burn the church and everyone who came there. Rescuers also remove cats from trees, teach old women how to heat the stove so as not to die from carbon monoxide. But employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations still positively assess their work. 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 the ranks not so boring, we decided to present information about them like a cheat sheet (military and ship ranks located on the same line are analogues):

Shoulder straps

1. Soldiers and sailors. There are no insignia on shoulder straps.
2. Sergeants and foremen. Badges are used as insignia. Warriors have long called them "snot".
3. Ensigns and midshipmen. Cross-sewn stars are used as insignia. Shoulder straps are reminiscent of officer's, but without stripes. Also, there may be edges.
4. Junior officers. There is a vertical clearance and metal stars (13 mm).
5. Senior officers. Two stripes and large metal stars (20 mm).
6. Senior officer corps. Large embroidered stars (22 mm) located vertically; lack of stripes.
7. General of the Army, Admiral of the Navy. A large star with a diameter of 40 mm, not metal, but embroidered.
8. Marshal of the Russian Federation. One very large star (40 mm) is embroidered on the chase. 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 find it difficult to imagine the appearance of shoulder straps. Therefore, especially for them, there is a picture in which all of the above is clearly shown.

Shoulder straps of non-officers

Shoulder straps of officers

1. Marshal of the Russian Federation is the highest rank in the ground forces, but there is also a person above him who can give him orders (even command him to take a prone emphasis). This person is the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, who is also the President of the Russian Federation. Remarkably, the title of Supreme Commander is classified as a position, not a military rank.
2. Vladimir Putin, who now works in this position, left the Federal Security Service as a colonel. Now, while in his position, he gives out commands to the military, who have ranks that he has never reached in his entire career.
3. Both naval and ground forces are subordinate to the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation. Therefore, admiral is the highest rank in the hierarchy of the Navy.
4. Capitalizing the names of officials of the RF Armed Forces in order to show respect to seasoned servicemen is a completely unnecessary thing. All ranks from private to admiral are capitalized.
5. A special prestige to how this or that rank sounds is added by the prefix "guard". Not everyone is destined to receive it, but only those. who serves in the guards regiments.
6. Servicemen who have retired from military affairs and calmly dig potatoes in their country house do not lose their rank, but continue to wear it with the prefix “in reserve” or “retired”.

Without restraining laughter, a military pensioner from Kharkov, Alexander, says that the colonel, whether he is retired or in reserve, will instill fear in any traffic cop who slows him down on the road for violating traffic rules. A hundred sweats will come down from 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.

1. Army doctors are also given special ranks. For example, "major of the medical service." Lawyers have a similar situation - "Captain of Justice".

George Clooney from ER, of course, is far away, but it still sounds decent!

1. Having just embarked on this path and entered the university, young guys become cadets. For now, they can only dream of how they will receive their first rank, 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.
2. While there is a one-year military service, you can become a sergeant at most. Not higher.
3. Since 2012, the ranks of the chief ship foreman and foreman have been abolished. Formally, they exist, but in reality, servicemen receive the following ranks, bypassing these ranks.
4. We all know that a major is higher than a lieutenant, but for some reason this logic was not taken into account when ranking generals. A lieutenant general is higher in rank than a major general. Here is such a system in the armed forces of the Russian Federation.
5. To get a new rank in the Russian troops, you need to have a certain length of service and personal achievements. Before assigning the next rank to a candidate, the commanders judge the soldier's moral character and skills in combat and political training. The table below describes the length of service requirements required to advance from one rank to another:

Ranks in the Russian army is a topic that I could understand only thanks to my military service. I remember how at the OBZh lessons the teacher forced all the guys to learn them by heart, but even after a long cramming, only empty sounds were put off in my head.

Now I have the opportunity to compare these words with real people whom I meet around. Thanks to this, I was able to structure this knowledge very simply and intelligibly so that each of you, dear readers, could easily and for a long time remember what soldiers sometimes take a whole week to do ...

What are the ranks in the Russian army

As you already understood, before joining the army, I had almost no understanding of military ranks. Knew only the basics. The service made me learn them by heart so that I could easily determine who I was addressing or, conversely, who was addressing me.

As always in such articles, I want to start by defining the main concept. Let's deal with what are the ranks in the Russian army.

In our country, two types of military ranks of military personnel have been established - military And shipborne.

Ship military ranks are assigned to sailors:

• surface and submarine forces of the Navy;
• naval military units of the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia;
• Coast Guard of the Border Service of the FSB of Russia.

Military military ranks are assigned to other military personnel serving in the military:

• Russian Emergency Situations Ministry;
• the Federal Security Service;
• Foreign Intelligence Service;
• Federal Security Service;
• Internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation;
• other troops, military formations and bodies.

Great. Understood the concepts. Now let's go up. From the lowest rank to the highest. What is their hierarchy?

Non-commissioned ranks in the army

1. Private ~ Sailor.
2. Corporal ~ Senior sailor.
3. Junior sergeant ~ Petty officer of the second article.
4. Sergeant ~ Petty Officer of the first article.
5. Senior Sergeant ~ Chief Petty Officer.
6. Foreman ~ Chief ship foreman.
7. Ensign ~ Midshipman.
8. Senior warrant officer ~ Senior midshipman.

What did you think that's all? What are all the ranks in our army? No, my friends. The most interesting thing is ahead - the officer corps. It is divided into several parts:

• Junior officers.
• Senior officers.
• Senior officer corps.

Officer ranks in the army

Military rank ~ Ship rank.

1. Second Lieutenant ~ Second Lieutenant
2. Lieutenant ~ Lieutenant.
3. Senior Lieutenant ~ Senior Lieutenant.
4. Captain ~ Lieutenant Commander.

It was a junior officer. Now let's move on to the older one.

1. Major ~ Captain 3rd rank.
2. Lieutenant colonel ~ Captain 2nd rank.
3. Colonel ~ Captain 1st rank.

And finally, the senior officers.

1. Major General ~ Rear Admiral.
2. Lieutenant General ~ Vice Admiral.
3. Colonel General ~ Admiral.
4. General of the Army ~ Admiral of the Fleet.
5. Marshal of the Russian Federation ~ There are no analogues.

As you can see, the number of ship ranks is exactly one less than the number of military ranks. But what!

OK then. We figured out the titles and their order. How now to distinguish between them? And for this, dear readers, people came up with shoulder straps and sleeve insignia (the latter - only for ship ranks).

It is them that we will now analyze. First - in words, then - graphically.

Shoulder straps

• Soldiers and sailors

On shoulder straps they do not have any insignia.

• Sergeants and foremen

They have insignia in the form of cloth galloons - stripes. In the army, these stripes are called "snot".

• Ensigns and midshipmen

They have insignia in the form of small stars arranged vertically. Shoulder straps are similar to officer's, but without gaps and may have edges (for more details, see the pictures below).

• junior officers

One vertically located strip - clearance. Asterisks metal, small (13 mm).

• Senior officers

Two gaps and large metal stars (20 mm).

• Senior officer corps

Large embroidered stars (22 mm) placed vertically, no gaps.

• General of the Army, Admiral of the Navy

One large embroidered star with a diameter of 40 mm.

• Marshal of the Russian Federation

It has one very large embroidered star (40 mm) against the background of radially diverging silver rays forming a pentagon, and the coat of arms of Russia (without a heraldic shield).

For those who find it difficult to perceive the text and just to consolidate the information received, I suggest taking a look at the pictures corresponding to the above.

Shoulder straps of non-officers

Shoulder straps of officers

Russian army command

The next point of our analysis is faces. Those people who lead our army.

First of all, of course, I want to name the Supreme Commander-in-Chief - the President of the Russian Federation.

The Supreme Commander-in-Chief is not a title, but a position. The only position that allows you to lead the Marshal of the Russian Federation.
An interesting fact is that Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin ended his service in the FSB with the rank of colonel, and his current position allows him to lead representatives of the highest officer ranks.

Please note that Sergei Kuzhugetovich bears the rank and shoulder straps of an army general.

The Minister of Defense combines the commander of both the ground forces and the Navy. That is why there is no higher rank in the Navy than Admiral of the Fleet.

By the way. Which of you, friends, noticed that I began to write such high ranks as admiral and marshal with small letters? Think it's a mistake? Forced to disappoint you. No! Why? Read the next part of the article.

Interesting facts about ranks in the army

• The prefix "guards" is applied to the military ranks of the military personnel of the guards units (for example, "guards major").
• In relation to the military personnel of the legal and medical services, the words "justice", "medical service" are added, respectively.
• For military personnel who are in the reserve or retired, the words “reserve”, “retired” are added, respectively.
• Military personnel studying in a military educational institution of vocational education are called: those who do not have the military rank of officers - cadets, and those who have a military rank - listeners.
• Citizens who did not have a military rank before entering a military educational institution or who had the military rank of a sailor or soldier are assigned the military rank of cadet upon admission to study. Other military ranks assigned before entering a military educational institution of vocational education are retained.
• Military ranks are given after the length of service of the required time and for personal merit. If everything is clear with merit, then let's figure out how much time it takes to serve in order to reach the desired rank. In accordance with paragraph 2 of Art. 22 "Regulations on the procedure for military service" for military service in military ranks, the following terms are established:
  - private, sailor - five months;
  - junior sergeant, foreman of the 2nd article - one year;
  - sergeant, foreman of the 1st article - two years;
  - senior sergeant, chief foreman - three years;
  - warrant officer, midshipman - three years;
  - junior lieutenant - two years;
  - lieutenant - three years;
  - senior lieutenant - three years;
  - captain, captain-lieutenant - four years;
  - Major, captain of the 3rd rank - four years;
  - lieutenant colonel, captain of the 2nd rank - five years.
  Further - for 5 years.

An important point. The title can only be obtained if there is a suitable position in the unit. About positions and what ranks you can reach in a particular position, in the next article.

• The ranks of foreman and chief ship foreman have not been awarded since 2012. The documents still exist.
• All military ranks - from private to marshal of the Russian Federation are written with a small letter.
• The rank of major is higher than the rank of lieutenant, but major general< генерал-лейтенант.
• The highest rank that can be obtained for a year of military service now is sergeant.

Dear readers. I hope that while reading this short but very important article, you have formed an understanding of what ranks are in our army, and in what order they are located.

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation use two types titles- army (for land units and the Air Force) and ship (for the Navy).

The presence of personal military titles is one of the features of military service. Military ranks provide clarity and clarity in the relationship and subordination of military personnel, i.e. provide a relationship of power and subordination. Military ranks have a significant impact on the conditions and procedure for the service of the relevant categories of military personnel, on the scope of their service and personal rights.
