Ryadovoy

The Imperial Russian Army used the designation ryadovoy before 1917. The rank re-appeared in the newly named Soviet Army in 1946,[1] replacing the rank of "Red Army man" (Russian: красноармеец, romanized: krasnoarmeyets) used in the Red Army from 1918 to 1946.

In the USSR Armed Forces the rank designation Ryadovoy was introduced in 1946.[2] From 1919 to 1946 the designation to this particular rank was Krasnoarmeyets (literal: Red Army man or Red Army Soldier).
