The Red Army, officially known as the Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army, was the military force of the Soviet Union from 1918 to 1946. It played a crucial role in the Russian Civil War and World War II. However, the Red Army as it was known during those times no longer exists.
After World War II, the Red Army was reorganized and renamed the Soviet Army in 1946. This change was part of a broader restructuring of the Soviet military. The Soviet Army continued to exist until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Army was dissolved, and its assets were divided among the newly independent states that emerged from the former Soviet republics. The Russian Federation, as the successor state to the Soviet Union, inherited the majority of these military assets and established the Russian Armed Forces.
In summary, the Red Army does not exist today. It was transformed into the Soviet Army in 1946, which was subsequently dissolved in 1991. The modern Russian Armed Forces can be considered the successor to the Red Army, but they are a distinct entity with their own structure and identity.
