Army insignia of the Russian Federation

The independent Russia inherited the ranks of the Soviet Union, although the insignia and uniform was altered a little. The following is a table ranks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. English translation is given first, followed by Russian version, then by English transliteration.

Russian armed forces have two styles of ranks - all-forces ranks (army style ranks) and deck ranks (navy style ranks). The army uses all-forces ranks. Medics/doctors and military attorneys add "of medical service" and "of military judicial service" to their respective ranks.

[edit] Officer Ranks

The U.S./Russia officer rank comparisons are drawn from Harriet Fast Scott and William F. Scott, The Armed Forces of the USSR, Westview Press, Boulder, Colorado, 1979. In Appendix B of their book the Scotts specifically equate U.S. Brigadier Generals to Russian General Majors, U.S. Major Generals to Russian General Lieutenants, and U.S. Lieutenant Generals to Russian General Colonels.
