Modern insignia of the Russian army. Uniforms and insignia of the Russian army

Military uniform is clothing established by rules or special decrees, the wearing of which is mandatory for any military unit and for each branch of the military. The form symbolizes the function of its wearer and his affiliation with the organization. The stable phrase “uniform honor” means military or generally corporate honor.

Even in the Roman army, soldiers were given the same weapons and armor. In the Middle Ages, it was customary to depict the coat of arms of a city, kingdom or feudal lord on shields, this was especially reflected in the shields of crossbowmen - mantlets. A similar uniform was in the guards of the kings (royal musketeers in France, archers of Ivan the Terrible)

The uniform in its present form appeared relatively recently, with the formation of standing armies after the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). The first in Europe to dress the guards of the French King Louis XIV in uniform. And in Germany, uniforms appeared among the guards of the Austrian Kaiser at the end of the 30-year war, that is, around 1648. In European armies, before the introduction of uniforms, they usually wore leather or rough cloth jackets and wide trousers. Some could buy boots for themselves, others wore shoes all year round. According to that fashion, a wide hat, with a diameter almost the size of a cart wheel, was expected. A special chic look is a hat with a feather. There is a sword on the sling. The cavalrymen also had protective clothing - chest armor and a metal helmet.

The idea of ​​creating a uniform does not belong to any one country or one person, since it was introduced simultaneously in several countries. This happened for obvious reasons: it was necessary at first glance to distinguish one’s comrade from the enemy during the battle, as well as to indicate that the army belonged to a certain state.

Tsarist Army

The need for uniforms arose during large European military campaigns. In the 30 Years' War - the largest and last European war - first Catholics and Protestants clashed on religious grounds, and then everyone mixed up, and Catholics began to fight with Catholics (for example, the French with the Spaniards). The warring parties did not have a uniform military uniform. All the soldiers were dressed in different clothes. And in the smoke, soot and confusion of the battle, the opponents were indistinguishable. And taking into account the tactics of those times, knowledge of the disposition for any commander was an extremely necessary thing, and it was not possible to get by with deployed standards alone; something more noticeable and uniform was needed.

Back in the Middle Ages, the image of a cross began to be used as distinctive signs of soldiers of one or another warring side. So, for example, from the beginning of the 15th century, the British sewed a red cross on their chest and back, the French and Swiss - a white one, and the soldiers of the German Empire - the cross of St. Andrew or the Burgundian cross. Later, crosses were replaced with scarves, which were worn on the belt or over the shoulder. The color of the scarf was chosen by the monarch himself - he is also the commander-in-chief of the armies, and therefore it usually corresponded to the colors of the royal coat of arms. For example, the Danish King Frederik II decided, as a decree of 1563 states, that “everyone who is part of the royal army must wear a distinctive sign in the form of a ribbon or scarf of red and yellow flowers on a hat, clothing or on top of a cuirass.” These colors were the colors of the coat of arms of the royal House of Oldenburg.

In 1625, entering the Thirty Years' War, Christian IV chose a scarf of blue and russet with a golden hue and complemented the headdress with a white feather. Later, the king returned to the colors of the House of Oldenburg, which still exist today. A symbolic reminder of the previous scarf is a lanyard in the form of a narrow twisted red cord with gold on the hilt of an officer’s saber.

In Sweden, the color of the scarf also changed. It was blue for the army of Gustav II Adolf during the Thirty Years' War, blue and yellow during the reign of Charles X Gustav, as it has remained to this day. And during the Thirty Years' War, the Spaniards and soldiers of the German Empire wore red scarves, the French - white, the Dutch - orange, and the Saxons - green. In England, Cromwell introduced the orange scarf, while the Royalists had white scarves. During major battles, it was considered necessary to complement the scarves with another distinctive sign, such as straw strands or green branches on a hat or helmet. This is how the soldiers of the allied armies recognized each other on the battlefield and easily distinguished themselves from the soldiers of the enemy coalition.

Soldier's uniform

Initially, elite royal units wore uniforms, while ordinary soldiers were content with scarves. However, later it became fashionable among monarchs to introduce a single uniform for all soldiers and officers in Europe.

The appearance and details of the uniform, as well as the method of wearing it, were approved by decrees of the king. Gradually, the supply of uniforms to armies began to be carried out centrally. In the event of liquidation or transformation of a military unit, the state reimbursed the cost of uniforms and distributed them among other regiments.

Initially they tried to give special kind uniform of each regiment, but they quickly became convinced that this step was impractical; it was too expensive to sew different uniforms for different regiments of the same army. Already at the beginning of the 19th century, the custom of dressing the entire army, or its most significant part, mainly the infantry, in almost identical uniforms and distinguishing regiments by monograms on headdresses and signs engraved on buttons was fully established. This trend can be traced throughout the 19th century, but the desire to preserve traditions has not disappeared.

True, naturally, the kings wanted to dress ordinary soldiers as cheaply as possible. The cheapest option is undyed gray cloth. At the end of the 17th century, almost all European armies received gray uniforms. Of course, the armies differed in shades in the color of their uniforms and the decoration of some elements. But overall, everything turned out the same again. And again on the battlefield it was impossible to distinguish the Austrians from the French (they had been traditional opponents in Europe for centuries). At the beginning of the 18th century, the German uniform appeared, which is still used in whole or in part in modern armies. This happened when Brandenburg united with the Prussian Electorate in 1701, creating the Kingdom of Prussia with its capital in Berlin. The new state created a dark uniform for its army of blue color. This color is so ingrained in the Prussian army that among uniform specialists it is called the “Prussian-colored uniform.” By the beginning of the 20th century, most countries abandoned sewing and monograms and switched to simple signs differences, choosing almost the same cut for military uniforms of all branches of the armed forces of their armies. At the same time, guards and cavalry units in many cases still wore luxurious and richly decorated uniforms.

The simpler the safer

Bright colors of the uniform were used as long as smooth-bore guns had low shooting accuracy, low range and rate of fire. Later, the increase in the effectiveness of firearms and the revision of combat tactics forced us to look at the uniform from a completely different perspective. To make the movement of soldiers on the ground less noticeable to the enemy, the uniform must match the color of the surrounding landscape. Back during the Boer War, the British replaced the bright red uniforms of their soldiers with khaki uniforms, which greatly reduced the loss of personnel from Boer sniper fire. The British experience was also adopted by other European armies. Already during the First World War, a new, less conspicuous uniform was introduced in all the warring armies. All types of troops had jackets of the same cut and color. Distinctive marks consisted of small letters or numbers, as well as badges and edging that were hardly noticeable from a distance.

The constantly increasing accuracy and range of small arms, as well as mastery of airspace, led to the emergence of military equipment that provided maximum camouflage in various situations, without limiting freedom of movement. Never before have military uniforms been so different from civilian clothing as they are today. In many countries, the soldier has ordinary, or field, uniform, which serves casual clothes to a peaceful and war time, as well as a set of uniforms intended only for parades and special occasions.

MILITARY RANKS AND INSIGNIA

For a long time, there was simply no such thing as a “military rank” in the army. In essence, the “rank” is deciphered as a job qualification, the officer’s ability to command, lead a company, battalion, regiment..., the right to occupy certain positions, but the “position” is the responsibilities assigned to the officer to command a specific unit. This historical division of concepts is very convenient. By the rank of an officer it is easy to determine his knowledge, abilities, service experience and quite accurately place him in a certain position. The assignment of an officer to another rank tells everyone that his superiors recognize his ability to perform certain positions.

Rank insignia in Europe appeared only towards the end of the 17th century. In the Russian Empire, rank insignia for officers and generals actually appeared only in 1827 (stars on epaulettes), and for soldiers and non-commissioned officers only in 1843 ("straps" on shoulder straps). Before this, an officer or commander could be distinguished in the ranks by elements of weapons or clothing, following the example of European armies. This was done so that the soldiers, while in formation, could be guided by the actions of the commander of this unit. For example, who would have thought that the “halberd” and “protazan”, known to everyone from the films, was a badge of honor officers royal army. The weapon, at first glance not practical, especially in the era of firearms, was still in the ranks of the advancing troops of the largest European powers and served as a guide for soldiers. The officer's "espanton" and "protazan" are piercing weapons, and the "halberd" is a piercing-cutting weapon. In addition to identifying the officer, they were also used to give signals (commands) in the ranks. This element of troop control was borrowed from the days of the Roman legions.

Another sign of distinction was the so-called “officer’s scarf.” This element of the uniform, which distinguished officers from soldiers, appeared somewhere at the beginning of the 17th century after the formation of the royal armies on a permanent basis. In Russia, which constantly borrowed something from its European neighbors in order to keep up with them militarily, it was accepted as a sign of belonging to the officer corps in 1698. Along with the use of officer weapons (halberds and espantons), the scarf has long been a kind of substitute for officer shoulder straps and epaulettes. Later, another element of the insignia appeared - the “gorget”. It was he who already facilitated the identification of officers by the table of ranks, and the scarf moved to the belt, and they began to tie it like a sash. The “gorget” is a crescent-shaped metal plate measuring approximately 20 x 12 cm, suspended horizontally by the ends on the officer’s chest near the throat. It is the gorget that is intended to accurately determine the rank of an officer. More often in the literature it is referred to as “officer’s badge”, “neck badge”, “officer’s breast badge”. However, the correct name for this element of military clothing is “gorget”.

Russian gorget

An interesting fact is that the gorget soon appeared not only with information about the rank of the officer, but also about the merits of his unit, something like a modern “guards badge” giving the prefix “guard” to the officer’s rank.

For example, the commemorative inscription “1700 NO19” on the gorgets of chief officers (but only chief officers!) of the Russian Preobrazhensky and Semenovsky regiments in memory of the courage and perseverance of the junior officers of these regiments in the first battle of the army of Peter the Great with the army of the Swedes at the Narva fortress on November 19 1700 Later, similar “award” inscriptions were made on all gorgets of officers of the Russian army, which in some catalogs mistakenly classifies gorgets in the award section as an order or medal.

To distinguish ranks, you should pay attention to the three main elements of the gorget: the gorget field, the rim and the coat of arms. By the combination of colors of these three elements one can determine the rank of an officer. For example, in the Russian army it was customary that the color of the gorget field, rim and coat of arms is gold - this is a colonel. Gold/gold/silver – major. Silver/silver/gold – lieutenant. Silver/silver/silver – ensign. Later, in the table of ranks, officers were divided into classes, which again corresponded to the color of the gorget. Again, all these elements were partially or completely borrowed from European armies, so they could differ in some features, but in general the gorget can be called the first generally accepted “officer's shoulder strap.”

Initially, all staff officers (major and above) had a completely gold gorget, and it was impossible to distinguish a major from a colonel. By the way, the generals did not have gorgets, and at that time it was impossible to distinguish the ranks of the generals at all. Actually in the same Russian army Until 1745, generals did not have a regulated uniform at all.

In the 18th century, little importance was attached to the distinction between officer ranks. In most cases, gorgets were not worn at all. Gorgets were usually worn on solemn and official occasions (reviews, parades, duty and guard duty). IN Everyday life they did without them, limiting themselves to wearing officer scarves.

Throughout the 18th century, the size and shape of the gorgets, the design of the coat of arms, and the colors of the ribbon (on which the gorget was worn) changed several times. Different regiments had different pattern coat of arms. In the forties, a branch of light cavalry appeared in the Russian army - the hussars. The officers of the hussar regiments, like the Cossacks, did not have gorgets at all. Also, non-combatant officers and officers of Furshtat companies (supply units) did not have gorgets.

In 1764, it became difficult to determine the rank of an officer based on his gorget. It was ordered that all officers have a gilded coat of arms, the field of the gorget of chief officers remains silver, the gorget of captains is gilded, and the field of gorget of staff officers is still golden.

In 1775, the regimental coat of arms was replaced by the state coat of arms.

In 1796, Emperor Paul I transformed the gorget from a rank designator into a purely decorative element of an officer's uniform. He introduces a single gorget for everyone and renames it the “officer's badge.” Then in 1797 he completely abolished gorgets for officers of the Jaeger regiments. The next step was to abolish the gorgets throughout the army, but this was prevented by the death of the emperor.

By the beginning of the 19th century, in the conditions of a rapidly growing army, the need to distinguish between officer ranks became urgent, and the new Emperor Alexander I returned the function of determining ranks to the gorget. In the first quarter of the 19th century, the gorget continued to be virtually the only means of distinguishing the ranks of officers. Only in 1827, when Emperor Nicholas I introduced officers' insignia in the form of stars on epaulettes, the gorget began to lose its role, turning from a practical to a decorative element of an officer's uniform.

There is a historical misconception that shoulder straps, as military insignia, come from the shoulder elements of medieval armor. On the one hand, this may seem logical, but firstly, epaulettes, and then shoulder straps, appeared 100 years later than knightly armor left the theater of war, and secondly, traditionally since knightly times, the military identifier was not on the shoulders but on the chest or on the shield soldier or officer, and later on the officer’s “Gorget” (a crescent-shaped metal plate measuring approximately 20x12 cm, suspended horizontally by the ends on the officer’s chest near the throat).

"Harus cord"

The first element of the uniform that resembled shoulder straps was the so-called “Harrus Cord” - it appeared on the shoulders of court officers in 1700. He did not carry information about the rank or affiliation of this or that officer to a particular military unit or his yawning - he only pointed to the fact that he was an officer of the court security. Later, from the most distinguished Life Guardsmen who took part in the palace coup on November 25, 1741, the so-called Life Company was created. The officers of this elite palace officer unit had an extended “harus cord” on their shoulders, which was later called an “epaulet,” which indicated the wearer’s involvement in the Life Company, and his special status in officer corps Tsarist Russia. After the death of Empress Elizabeth, who created the Life Company and had the honorary rank of captain, Peter III ascended the throne, dissolved the Life Company and transferred the officers of this unit to serve in a separate guards company of the Preobrazhensky Regiment. The officers took off the “harus cord” and the epaulettes returned to the army only on April 24, 1763. By decree of the emperor, in the musketeer (infantry) and grenadier regiments, in the carabinieri regiments, in field battalions, in artillery, in miner and pioneer companies, and from 1765 in the newly established chasseur regiments, it was prescribed to have an “epaulet or epaulette” on the left shoulder in the German manner.
“On the left shoulder, to distinguish between the regiments, a thread or wool shoulder strap or epaulette was sewn, the type and colors at the discretion of the regiment commander. The epaulette with this lower side was attached at the junction of the shoulder with the sleeve, and with the upper side, using a cut or specially made loop, it was fastened with a small copper button under the caftan collar.”

In 1764, this “epaulet or epaulette” on the left shoulder will be given to the dragoon and cuirassier regiments.

However, this “epaulet or epaulette” is worn on the clothing of all ranks from private to colonel inclusive. In other words, at this time it does not play the role of a determinant of ranks and is not a badge of honor specifically for officers, since there is a “gorget” for this purpose, and the epaulette itself is only a tribute to the world military fashion spied by the tsar abroad. A little later, a difference appeared between the epaulettes of privates, non-commissioned officers and officers. They differed in weaving and the shape and size of the tassel, but again they did not carry any information about the exact rank and affiliation of a particular serviceman, since everything was indicated on the “gorget.”

In 1796, Paul I ascended the throne of the Russian Empire. He introduces radical changes to the army and abolishes epaulettes.

EPAULET

As previously written, in the story of gorgets and military uniform there was one problem. The senior command staff of the same Russian Empire did not have an established uniform, and the system of “gorgets” was even more confusing, having survived three or even four reforms. That is, the generals dressed richly, but the statutory uniform of their uniform was not accepted. And so on September 17, 1807, the prototype of the future officer's shoulder strap was introduced. The first to receive epaulettes were generals and officers from the king's retinue. Moreover, there was only one epaulette - on the left shoulder. On the right was an aiguillette.

On the same day, September 17, 1807, epaulettes were extended to infantry (musketeer), huntsman, cuirassier, dragoon, and uhlan regiments.

Foot and horse artillery (officers and generals) will receive epaulettes only on January 3, 1808. The field and spine are red, the spine braid, neck and fringe are gold. The gold cord encrypts the number of the artillery brigade. Artillery generals have epaulets without codes. Garrison artillery (officers and generals) will receive epaulettes only on November 22, 1808.

Officers and generals of sapper and pioneer units will receive epaulettes like artillery on January 3, 1808. The field and spine are red, the spine braid, cords and fringe are silver. Encrypted with a silver cord - the battalion number. Engineering generals have epaulets without codes. By the way, all army units except the Life Guards received two shoulder straps, while it was customary for the court regiments to wear one shoulder strap, with an aiguillette remaining on the other side of the uniform.

On March 27, 1809, officers and generals of the Life Guards regiments received epaulettes on both shoulders, losing the aiguillette.

On January 31, 1808, generals and officers of the Engineering Corps (field and garrison engineers) received epaulettes. But the field and spine of the epaulette are entirely silver, not cloth.

On May 16, 1808, garrison regiments and battalions received epaulettes.

By the color of the shoulder straps of the lower ranks, it was possible to determine whether a serviceman belonged to a particular unit, and, accordingly, the color of the field and spine of the officers' epaulettes was determined in the infantry by the serial number of the regiment in the division. For example:

First regiment of the division - red field,

The second regiment of the division is a white field,

The third regiment of the division is a yellow field,

The fourth regiment of the division is dark green with red piping,

The fifth regiment of the division is a blue field.

In general, in addition to “gorgets”, epaulettes become a means of determining the category of rank - chief officer, staff officer or general. But it is impossible to determine the specific rank of an officer by epaulettes during this period. This could only be done using gorgets. But their officers wore them only in ranks. It was completely impossible to distinguish the ranks of the generals from each other, since the generals did not have gorgets. Stars on epaulettes will appear only in 1827, and then first in the Life Guards, and only then in other units.

STAR

January 1, 1827 became a milestone date in the insignia of the ranks of the Russian Army. If before this day it was possible to distinguish the ranks of officers only by gorgets (chest, neck, officer insignia), and even then only in ranks (gorgets were worn only when in ranks), now the insignia of officer and general ranks in all branches of the military has become stars on epaulettes.

Forged metal sprockets in the opposite color to the instrument metal. Those. on gold epaulettes there are silver ones, and on silver ones there are gold ones.

By the highest command the number of stars on the epaulettes was determined:

1 star - warrant officer,

2 stars - second lieutenant,

3 stars - lieutenant,

4 stars - staff captain,

Without stars - captain,

2 stars - major,

3 stars - lieutenant colonel,

Without stars - Colonel,

2 stars - major general,

3 stars - lieutenant general,

No stars - general

The rank category (chief officer, staff officer, general) was determined by the fact that chief officers had no fringe on their epaulettes, staff officers had thin fringes, and generals had thick fringes. In addition, in infantry regiments the colors of the epaulette field depended on the number of the regiment in the division, and number codes were placed on them indicating the number of the regiment. Or the monogram of the highest commander... for example, the crown prince.

Shoulder straps

The appearance of galloon shoulder straps with rank insignia on the uniforms of officers and generals of the Russian Army is associated with the introduction of military-style military overcoats on April 29, 1854 (the only difference was that the new officer’s overcoat, unlike the soldiers’ overcoats, had side welt pockets with flaps). Until this time, officers and generals wore epaulettes on all types of uniforms, with the exception of greatcoats, on which nothing was worn on the shoulders.

In the period between 1854 and 1859, epaulettes faded into the background and became an accessory only for uniforms, although in field conditions it was prescribed to unfasten the epaulettes and put on shoulder straps in their place. And if you need to wear epaulettes in a formal setting, then the shoulder straps are unfastened and the epaulettes are put on.

With the introduction of the shoulder strap, the term “clearance” appeared on shoulder straps. “Gaps” were the name given to the gaps between the belt braids sewn onto shoulder straps, which again determined the category of ranks by the color and size of the “gap,” thereby replacing the seemingly complex system of weaving and fringe sizes on epaulettes. Like epaulettes, shoulder straps still had a rather “cumbersome” double function: the function of an external determinant of ranks and a determinant of the serviceman’s belonging to a particular regiment. All this was achieved to some extent due to a complex system of colors of shoulder straps and different gaps between the braids, and fully due to the attachment of monograms, numbers and letters on the shoulder straps indicating the regiment number. Gradually, the width of the braids became larger and larger, and the gaps became smaller and smaller.

In the sixties of the 19th century, private production of braid for headquarters and chief officer shoulder straps, which were a solid braid with one or two colored stripes of the prescribed width (5.6 m.) woven into it, spread. And the width of such a solid braid was equal to the width of a general’s galloon (1 1/4 inches (56 mm)). So the system of “clearances” was gradually abolished, although the term itself has been preserved even today.

Since the very appearance of officer braided shoulder straps, in addition to codes and stars in special types of weapons (artillery, engineering troops), so-called shoulder straps were placed on the shoulder straps. special signs indicating that the officer belongs to a special type of weapon. For artillerymen, these were crossed barrels of ancient cannons, for sapper battalions, crossed axes and shovels. As special forces developed, the number of special forces (nowadays they are called emblems of military branches) increased, and by the middle of the First World War there were more than two dozen of them. With some exceptions, the color of the special signs coincided with the color of the braid. They were usually made of brass. For silver shoulder straps they were usually tinned or silver plated.

Since 1855, the insignia of the military of the Russian Empire, following the introduction of a new field uniform, finally, changed to the now familiar shapes and colors, and became more practical and informative. In fact, the history of modern shoulder straps can begin with the military reform of 1855.

Field shoulder straps of the Tsarist Army

The combat experience of the Russian army suggested what the field insignia of soldiers and officers should look like. The lower ranks received soft cloth shoulder straps of a pentagonal shape with a width.

The lower end of the shoulder strap was sewn into the shoulder seam of a uniform or overcoat, and the upper end was fastened to a button sewn to the shoulder at the collar. Since 1829, the shade of metal buttons depended on belonging to a particular military unit. The buttons of the infantry regiments also had a number stamped on them. The buttons of the guards regiments were embossed with the state coat of arms.

The colors of the shoulder straps of the lower ranks were generally determined as follows:

• guards units - red shoulder straps without encryption,
• all grenadier regiments have yellow shoulder straps with red coding,
• rifle units - crimson shoulder straps with yellow coding,
• artillery and engineering troops - red shoulder straps with yellow coding,
• cavalry - each regiment has a special color of shoulder straps. There is no system here.

For infantry regiments, the color of the shoulder straps was determined by the division's place in the corps:

• First division of the corps - red shoulder straps with yellow coding,
• Second division in the corps - blue shoulder straps with yellow coding,
• The third division in the corps - white shoulder straps with red coding.

The unit's encryption was painted up oil paint and pointed to the regiment number. For regiments that were under the “patronage” of the most august persons from the royal family, a special monogram was introduced with the initial letter of the name of the Grand Duke or another Highest Chief of the regiment (if this monogram is in the nature of encryption, i.e. is used instead of the regiment number). By this time, the infantry regiments had already received a single continuous numbering.

On February 19, 1855, in companies and squadrons that to this day bore the name of companies and squadrons of His Imperial Majesty, all ranks were ordered to have the monogram of Emperor Nicholas I on their epaulettes and shoulder straps. However, this monogram is worn only by those ranks who served in these companies and squadrons according to as of February 18, 1855 and continue to serve in them. Newly enrolled in these companies and squadrons, the lower ranks do not have the right to this monogram. They will wear this monogram until the abolition of the royal monograms in March 1917.

Lower ranks serving in training units (officer schools) had “training braid” along the edges of their shoulder straps.

Shoulder straps for soldiers and reserve officers

In addition to codes, special signs, monograms on the shoulder straps of soldiers, and indeed all lower ranks, there could be various kinds of stripes indicating the special status of the lower rank, its special qualifications, or the special character of the unit.

Black bason stripes (stripes) at the bottom of the shoulder strap were worn by lower ranks who were dismissed on long leave to improve their health or who were dismissed on indefinite leave.

There was a difference between being transferred to the reserve and being put on indefinite leave. A person dismissed on indefinite leave continues to be listed in his regiment (although he earns his own food at his place of residence) and can be returned to service in the same regiment not only in the event of mobilization, but also if for some reason there is a shortage of lower ranks. Usually, lower ranks who had not yet served their active duty, but turned out to be redundant, were dismissed on indefinite leave.

At the same time, those dismissed on indefinite leave before the First World War were extremely rarely brought back into service.

But someone who has been transferred to the reserve is sent to his place of residence, where he is registered with the local military commander (saying modern language- district military registration and enlistment office) and can be called up for service only upon mobilization, and he can be sent to any regiment. And the reservist has no right to wear a military uniform.

Volunteers, “volunteers” and long-term conscripts

Since lower ranks could enroll in military service voluntarily, the shoulder straps of such persons had a special distinction - trimmed with a three-color cord.

The lower ranks, who entered the service voluntarily and had, based on their level of education (secondary or higher), the right to receive an officer rank, were called volunteers and had shoulder straps trimmed with black-orange-white garus cord (the so-called royal colors).

The lower ranks, who entered the service voluntarily, but did not have the right to receive an officer rank by education, were called hunters and had shoulder straps trimmed with white-blue-red (the so-called colors of the Russian flag) harness cord.

The rank of corporal belonged to the ranks of privates. If I may say so, this is a senior private. Typically, the corporal was an assistant to a detached non-commissioned officer, supervised recruits and conducted initial training sessions with them. One transverse patch 1/4 inch wide (11 mm) was sewn onto the corporal's shoulder straps. In the army it was a white basson; in the grenadier units and in the Electrotechnical Company there was a red “prosnovka” running through the center of the basson. In the guard, the patch was orange (almost yellow) with two red “prosnovki” along the edges.

The lower ranks who remained for long-term service (as a rule, in the ranks from corporal to senior non-commissioned officer) were called long-term servicemen of the 2nd category and wore galloon trim made of belt braid along the edges of their shoulder straps (except for the lower edge). All other stripes are the same as for the lower ranks of conscript service.

Double-sided shoulder straps

In 1909 (Order of V.V. No. 100), double-sided shoulder straps were introduced for lower ranks. Those. one side is made of instrument cloth in the color assigned to this part, the other is made of cloth of a protective color (overcoat on overcoat), with two rows of glued lining canvas between them. Buttons in the Guard are the color of the instrument metal of the regiment, in the army they are leather.

When wearing a uniform in everyday life, shoulder straps are worn with the colored side facing out. When setting out on a campaign, the shoulder straps are turned over with the protective side outward.

On both sides of the shoulder straps of lower ranks of army units the unit code is painted with oil paint. Special signs (who are supposed to) are painted above the encryption.

The colors of the encryption on the protective side are set according to the types of troops:

• infantry - yellow, rifle units - crimson,
• cavalry and horse artillery - blue,
• foot artillery - red,
• engineering troops - brown,
• Cossack units - blue,
• railway troops - light green,
• fortress units of all types of weapons - orange,
• convoy parts - white,
• quartermaster parts - black.

The number encryption in the infantry and cavalry indicated the regiment number, in the foot artillery the brigade number, in the horse artillery the battery number, in the engineering troops the number of the battalion or company (if the company exists as a separate unit).

The letter code indicated the name of the regiment, which, in general, was typical for grenadier regiments. Or on the shoulder straps there could be a monogram of the Highest Chief, which was assigned instead of a number code.

Because each type of cavalry had a separate numbering, then after the regiment number there was a italic letter indicating the type of regiment (D-dragoon, Uulan, G-hussar, Zh-gendarmerie squadron). But it was customary to indicate these letters only on the protective side of the shoulder straps.

With the development of the technical equipment of the army, new special signs will appear (motorists, aviation, scooter drivers, engineering parks). During the First World War, special insignia of armored squads, motorcyclists, anti-aircraft artillery, etc. will appear). Especially many of them will appear in 1917 during the time of the Provisional Government. The number will exceed three dozen.

Before the war, by order of the Military Department No. 228 of May 20, 1912, the style of the letters and numbers of the codes changed quite noticeably. The letters lost their curls and acquired a look close to what is now called the Times typeface, with the exception of the letters indicating the type of cavalry unit (D, U, G, Z).

In March 1913, one of the last peacetime orders was issued, which determined the colors of shoulder straps in the Russian Army. This is the order of the Military Department No. 106 dated March 16, 1913.

This order established the following colors of shoulder straps for lower ranks (and, accordingly, the colors of gaps and piping on officers' shoulder straps):

• In the grenadier divisions:

1st Grenadier Division - yellow shoulder straps with scarlet piping,

2nd Grenadier Division - yellow shoulder straps with light blue piping

3rd Grenadier Division - yellow shoulder straps with white piping,

Caucasian Grenadier Division - yellow shoulder straps without piping.

• Infantry divisions:

1st Regiment of the Division - scarlet shoulder straps,

2nd regiment of the division - scarlet shoulder straps,

3rd Regiment of the Division - light blue shoulder straps,

4th Regiment of the Division - light blue shoulder straps.

• Rifle regiments - crimson shoulder straps.
• Artillery units have scarlet shoulder straps.
• Units of engineering troops, including telegraph, aviation, aeronautics, etc. - scarlet shoulder straps
• Railway units - scarlet shoulder straps.

Accordingly, the marching shoulder straps of the lower ranks remained khaki. In units where there are colored edgings on colored shoulder straps, edgings of the same color were retained on the marching shoulder straps. True, this mainly concerned the guard, grenadier units and the Odessa naval battalion.

By the way, the order did not apply to the guard. There, the colors of the shoulder straps have not changed.

Field officer's shoulder straps

The well-known order of the Military Department No. 698 of October 31, 1914 on the abolition of braided shoulder straps and the introduction of marching (field) shoulder straps concerned only officers and generals, and of the lower ranks only ensigns. Thus, the rich-looking galloon shoulder straps of officers in 1914 gave way to simple and cheap cloth military insignia of khaki color. Rights in the rear districts and in both capitals continued to be worn by the usual galloon shoulder straps adopted in Peaceful time. True, soon in the rear the fashion for field shoulder straps among officers of all ranks even forced the command to ban their wearing away from the front, which violated the accepted uniform. Everyone apparently wanted to look like seasoned front-line soldiers. At the same time, on the contrary, in front-line units in 1916, braided shoulder straps “came into fashion.” This was especially true for precocious officers graduating from wartime ensign schools, who did not have the opportunity to show off their beautiful dress uniforms and gold shoulder straps in the cities.

In general, it should be noted that the linear system of the Russian Army, already very complex and diverse, actually fell apart during the First World War. Newly emerging, formed formations were assigned unique shoulder straps or coding on shoulder straps, and various additional insignia. And after the Provisional Government came to power in the spring of 1917, this acquired an avalanche-like character.

The shoulder straps were partially preserved during the period Civil War in the formations of the White Movement, however, local military leaders, taking advantage of the fact that the higher command did not have enough power over them, introduced their own versions of shoulder straps and insignia on them.

In the Red Army, which began to be created in February-March 1918, they abandoned shoulder straps completely and categorically, seeing in the shoulder straps “signs of autocracy.” The running system will be restored in the Red Army only in January 1943, i.e. after 25 years.

The Soviet system of insignia is unique. This practice cannot be found in the armies of other countries of the world, and it was, perhaps, the only innovation of the communist government; the rest of the order was copied from the rules of the army insignia of Tsarist Russia.

The rank was determined by the shape of the figures - triangles, squares, rhombuses under a star, and the rank was determined by their number.

Each army has its own system of military ranks. Moreover, rank systems are not something frozen, established once and for all. Some titles are abolished, others are introduced. Those who are at all seriously interested in the art of war and science need to know not only the entire system of military ranks of a particular army, but also to know how the ranks of different armies relate, what ranks of one army correspond to the ranks of another army. There is a lot of existing literature on these issues.

On the contrary, individual elements of equipment were spied on by the enemy or taken as trophies. It's not all about the placement of equipment items

The first mass-produced Soviet steel helmet, the SSh-36, appeared in the Red Army in 1936, and by the end of the year it became obvious that it had a lot of shortcomings.

Artillery has long played an important role in the army of Muscovite Rus'. Despite the difficulties with transporting guns in the eternal Russian impassability, the main attention was paid to casting heavy cannons and mortars - guns that could be used in sieges of fortresses. Under Peter I, some steps towards the reorganization of artillery were taken as early as 1699, but only after the Narva defeat they began to do it in all seriousness. The guns began to be combined into batteries intended for field battles and defense

1 Don Ataman, 17th century The Don Cossacks of the 17th century consisted of old Cossacks and Golota. Old Cossacks were considered those who came from Cossack families of the 16th century and were born on the Don. Golota was the name given to first-generation Cossacks.

Expensive fur on a hat, a silk caftan, a zipun made from bright overseas cloth, a saber and firearms - a arquebus or a carbine - were indicators of the wealth of a Cossack.

The abundance of uniforms and equipment accepted for supply in the Red Army led to the fact that tankers, even within the same military unit or unit, could be equipped differently.

Whenever possible, the most common variants of uniforms and equipment are indicated in the descriptions, but, of course, the material cannot claim to be exhaustive.

Advances in metallurgy contributed to the expansion of the production of cold

Perhaps there is no more well-known and noticeable element of the Russian officer uniform tsarist army than epaulettes on the shoulders of officers and generals, but the history of epaulettes in the Russian army goes back less than one century, more precisely about eighty years. Sometimes in some publications you can find a statement that epaulettes appeared on Russian military uniforms in 1762-63. However, this is not true. These are shoulder straps made from a harness cord. The ends that hang down from the shoulder in the form of a fringe give them some resemblance to epaulettes.

Military personnel wear lapel insignia (emblems) according to the branch of service to which the serviceman’s specialty belongs, in contrast to the buttonhole worn according to the branch of service of his unit. There are light and dark (field) signs. Field uniforms are worn exclusively with field uniforms. Badges on buttonholes have been included in the uniform since 1922. Since then, they have been changed several times and new signs have been added. The first lapel emblems of military branches and services were introduced in 1924, and in 1925 it was established that military personnel would wear buttonholes with insignia for service categories and emblems for the specialties of military personnel, divisions and units. The dimensions of the badges for specialties were about 3x3 cm. In 1935, personal military ranks were introduced in the Red Army and the Red Army Navy, and “service categories” were abolished. This situation remained until 1943, before the introduction of shoulder straps.

Since 1943, the emblems have moved from buttonholes to shoulder straps; instead of emblems, a large button is worn on the buttonholes. Such buttonholes can be seen in portraits and photographs. V. Stalin, who wore overcoat buttonholes with a button in his marshal uniform with a turn-down collar. In this, the leader was noticeably different from other marshals, who wore uniforms with a stand-up collar and sewing instead of buttonholes. In the 50s of the 20th century, enlarged emblems returned to the buttonholes, where they were worn with changes until 1991 and even after that, until the introduction of a new uniform for the Russian Armed Forces. After 1994, the wearing of buttonholes was not provided; lapel emblems framed by laurel leaves were worn on the corners of collars and on shoulder straps. In 2004, emblems with large designs, without frames, were reintroduced.

The following types of lapel insignia are currently used in the army:
