The unofficial flag of the Red Army
The Red Army (Russian: Рабоче-крестьянская красная армия Raboche-Krest'yanskaya Krasnaya Armiya; English: Workers'-Peasants' Red Army) was the armed forces of the Soviet Union. The Red Army started out as a revolutionary militia during the Russian Civil War of 1918-1922. After its victory and the establishment of the Soviet Union, it absorbed the Imperial Russian Army and grew to become the national army of the Soviet Union, and, by the 1930s, was one of the largest armies in history.
During World War II, the Red Army fought on the front lines against Axis forces in the Eastern Front and Manchuria. Though originally it faced numerous defeats and encirclements during Operation Barborossa, the Red Army would turn the tide in 1942 with mass offensives and encirclements of its own and would defeat about 80% of Wehrmacht and Waffen SS forces. In 1946, the Red Army was renamed the Soviet Army until 1991, where the Soviet Army was separated and reformed into armed forces of different sovereign states, such as the Russian Ground Forces.
