All ranks of the Russian army. All military ranks of the Russian army. The rights of officials to confer military ranks

08.03.2020

Perhaps in student years the military training teacher told you about the various ranks that are used in our army, but it is unlikely that you absorbed this information with the same eagerness with which you furiously “neighed” in the classroom, smoked in the school yard, or pulled the pigtails of the girls from your class .

Nevertheless, knowledge about this subject should be in the head of every man, so that he, without hesitation, understands who is the “real major”, and who is the “ensign Shmatko”, military ranks in the Russian army.

Categories of rank in the army of the Russian Federation

There are two main groups of ranks in the troops of the Russian Federation:

ship (refer to those who serve at sea);
military (go to representatives of the ground troops).

Ship ranks

Navy (both under water and over water). The marine uniform has always been to the face of men. No wonder girls like sailors so much!
military naval units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It sounds unusual, but there are police officers at sea.
protection of the coastal (Border) service of the Russian FSB.

They are not chasing unscrupulous fishermen who caught a couple of buckets of carp without permission. Their direct responsibility is the capture of illegal immigrants and other criminals on the water frontiers of the country.

Military ranks

It is not so easy to see sea captains in snow-white uniforms on the streets of cities, especially if there is no sea nearby. But this is no reason to be upset!

Ranks are also given in:

Armed Forces.
Ministry of Internal Affairs (servicemen from the category "policemen" or district police officers).
Ministry of Emergency Situations (dared men rescuing people in trouble).

Vadim, an EMERCOM worker from Khmelnitsky, says that many people imagine the EMERCOM workers as real rescue heroes who live all day long as if in a thriller. Unfortunately, this is not entirely true. The life of the Ministry of Emergency Situations consists of daily visits by some priests in order to carry out explanatory work, otherwise they will inadvertently burn the church and everyone who came there. Rescuers also remove cats from trees, teach old women how to heat the stove so as not to die from carbon monoxide. But employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations still positively assess their work. This is facilitated by titles, uniforms and social benefits.

foreign intelligence service (Yes, yes! Imagine - new Stirlitz!);
and other military units of our country.

Rank table

In order to make the description of the ranks not so boring, we decided to present information about them like a cheat sheet (military and ship ranks located on the same line are analogues):


Type	Military	ship
Non-officer	private, corporal, Lance Sergeant, sergeant, staff Sergeant, foreman, ensign, Senior Warrant Officer	sailor, senior sailor, foreman of the second article, foreman of the first article, chief sergeant, chief ship sergeant, midshipman, senior midshipman
Jr officers	junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain	junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, lieutenant commander
Senior officers	major, lieutenant colonel, colonel	captain of the 1st rank, captain of the 2nd rank, captain of the 3rd rank
Senior officer corps	major general, lieutenant general, colonel general, army General, Marshal of the Russian Federation	rear admiral, vice admiral, admiral, fleet admiral

Shoulder straps

Soldiers and sailors. There are no insignia on shoulder straps.
Sergeants and foremen. Badges are used as insignia. Warriors have long called them "snot".
Ensigns and midshipmen. Cross-sewn stars are used as insignia. Shoulder straps are reminiscent of officer's, but without stripes. Also, there may be edges.
Junior officers. There is a vertical clearance and metal stars (13 mm).
Senior officers. Two stripes and large metal stars (20 mm).
Senior officer corps. Large embroidered stars (22 mm) located vertically; lack of stripes.
General of the Army, Admiral of the Navy. A large star with a diameter of 40 mm, not metal, but embroidered.
Marshal Russian Federation. On the chase embroidered one very big star(40 mm). Silver rays diverge in a circle - the shape of a pentagon is obtained. The pattern of the coat of arms of Russia is also noticeable.

Of course, when reading the text, many people find it difficult to imagine appearance shoulder strap Therefore, especially for them, there is a picture in which all of the above is clearly shown.

Shoulder straps of non-officers

Shoulder straps of officers

Marshal of the Russian Federation is the highest rank in the ground forces, but there is also a person above him who can give him orders (even command him to take a prone emphasis). This person is the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, who is also the President of the Russian Federation. Remarkably, the title of Supreme Commander is classified as a position, not a military rank.
Vladimir Putin, who now works in this position, left the Federal Security Service as a colonel. Now, while in his position, he gives out commands to the military, who have ranks that he has never reached in his entire career.
Both naval and ground forces are subordinate to the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation. Therefore, admiral is the highest rank in the hierarchy of the Navy.
Capitalizing the names of officials of the RF Armed Forces in order to show respect to seasoned servicemen is a completely unnecessary thing. All ranks from private to admiral are capitalized.
The prefix "guard" adds a special prestige to how this or that rank sounds. Not everyone is destined to receive it, but only those. who serves in the guards regiments.
Servicemen who have retired from military affairs and calmly dig potatoes in their country house do not lose their rank, but continue to wear it with the prefix “in reserve” or “retired”.

Not holding back laughter, a military pensioner from Kharkov, Alexander, says that the colonel, whether he is retired or in reserve, will instill fear in any traffic cop who slows him down on the road for violating traffic rules. A hundred sweats will come down from the guy while he pretends to scold the violator, and then completely release the colonel without a fine. So, the title always helps in life.

Army doctors are also given special ranks. For example, "major of the medical service." Lawyers have a similar situation - "Captain of Justice".

George Clooney from ER, of course, is far away, but it still sounds decent!

Having just embarked on this path and entered the university, young guys become cadets. For now, they can only dream of how they will receive their first rank, and then one of the highest. There is another group of students. They are called listeners. These are those who have already received a military rank.
While there is a one-year military service, you can become a sergeant at most. Not higher.
Since 2012, the ranks of the chief ship foreman and foreman have been abolished. Formally, they exist, but in reality, servicemen receive the following ranks, bypassing these ranks.
We all know that a major is higher than a lieutenant, but for some reason this logic was not taken into account when ranking generals. A lieutenant general is higher in rank than a major general. Here is such a system in the armed forces of the Russian Federation.
To get a new rank in Russian troops, you need to have a certain length of service and personal achievements. Before assigning the next rank to a candidate, the commanders judge the soldier's moral character and skills in combat and political training. The table below describes the length of service requirements required to advance from one rank to another:

Rank	Job title
Private	All those who have just been called up for service, all lower positions (gunner, driver, gun crew number, driver, sapper, reconnaissance officer, radio operator, etc.)

Both on land and on water there are military ranks, some of them are similar, but still there is a difference.

So, on land, military ranks go in the following order:

On the water, that is, the fleet, the ranks are built like this:

Sailor, senior sailor, foreman of the second article, foreman of the first article, chief ship officer, midshipman, senior midshipman, junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain lieutenant, captain of the third rank, captain of the second rank, captain of the first rank, rear admiral, vice admiral , admiral.

Private, in the navy this rank corresponds to a sailor, then corporal, in the navy - senior sailor; junior sergeant, in the navy foreman of the second article; sergeant foreman of the first article, senior sergeant foreman; foreman - chief ship foreman; next come ensign, in the navy warrant officer, senior warrant officer, senior warrant officer. Officers: junior lieutenant - the same in the navy; lieutenant - the same in the navy; senior lieutenant - the same in the navy; captain, in the navy - captain lieutenant; then follows the senior officers: major - in the fleet, captain of the third rank; lieutenant colonel - in the fleet, captain of the second rank; colonel - in the fleet, captain of the first rank. Next comes the senior officers: major general - in the fleet, rear admiral; lieutenant general in the fleet, vice -admiral; colonel general-admiral, and the final rank of general of the army. There were marshals in the USSR, but now, in my opinion, they have been abolished. Highest rank only two people, Suvorov and Stalin, had a generallisimus.

To begin with, I will say that different countries very different ranks, it is also worth noting that the Military navy and conventional ground forces also have different ranks, for example, the Fleet:

And now a few countries to compare the rank. The first will be Russian military ranks

Military ranks of France

Military ranks of China

Military ranks of Germany

Turkish military ranks

The Army and Navy each have their own military ranks. Of course, they have a number of similarities, but differ both in name and in the number of stars and stripes. One more difference should be added - this is the guards regiments.

Private, corporal, junior sergeant, sergeant, senior sergeant, foreman, warrant officer, senior warrant officer, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, major general, lieutenant general, colonel general, army general.

Military ranks must be separated for the fleet and land.

So, as far as the ground forces are concerned, the military ranks are arranged in this order:

As for the distribution in order of ranks in the fleet, it looks like this from the smallest:

As for the RF. Ranks are military and ship.

Ensigns and midshipmen:

junior officers:

senior officers;

Marshal of the Russian Federation is the highest military rank.

A specialty is added to military ranks, if any;

Who is studying in a military institution:

In the armed forces of Russia, military ranks are divided into military and naval. To the military personnel of the guards units, the prefix is added to the military rank - guards ...

Soldiers and sailors, sergeants and foremen, ensigns and midshipmen ...

Junior, middle, senior officers. Marshal of the Russian Federation ...

In the Navy, in addition to naval military ranks, there may also be military military ranks, for example, in the marines, naval aviation, and coastal troops of the fleet. Ship military ranks are expressed by a white or yellow stripe on a black shoulder strap (clearance) or black gaps on a white shoulder strap, on shoulder straps with military military ranks - the gaps will be red, blue. By the way, in the Marine Corps, ship ranks are sailor and senior sailor, then military ...

There are military ranks and the ranks of those who serve in the navy, ranks in order in Russian army, look like this:

Ordinary composition:

Military ranks: private, corporal, junior sergeant, sergeant, senior sergeant, foreman.

Ship ranks: sailor, senior sailor, foreman of the 2nd article, foreman of the 1st article, chief foreman, chief ship foreman.

Ensigns and midshipmen:

Military ranks: warrant officer, senior warrant officer

Ship ranks: midshipman, senior midshipman

Officers:

Junior officers:

Military ranks: junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain;

Ship ranks: junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain-lieutenant.

Senior officers:

Military ranks: major, lieutenant colonel, colonel;

Ship ranks: captain 3rd rank, captain 2nd rank, captain 1st rank.

Senior officers:

Military ranks: major general, lieutenant general, colonel general, army general; Ship ranks: rear admiral, vice admiral, admiral, admiral of the fleet.

And of course, Marshal of the Russian Federation.

In the Army and the Navy there are military ranks that are similar, but it seems to me that the ranks in the Navy are still more difficult to remember and pronounce. Military ranks on land.

Military ranks in the Navy.

It should be noted that in addition to the rank in the Army and Navy, the position plays an important role. It happens that an officer with a higher rank reports to an officer with a lower rank.

Military ranks go as follows, starting with the smallest:

On land: private, corporal, junior sergeant, senior sergeant, warrant officer, senior warrant officers, junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, major general, lieutenant general, colonel general, army general.

In the Navy: sailor, senior sailor, foreman of the second class, foreman of the first class, chief ship officer, midshipman, senior midshipman, junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain lieutenant, captain of the third rank, captain of the second rank, captain of the first rank, rear admiral, vice admiral, admiral

In the old days, there was also the title of Marshal, but it was canceled.

In life, there are situations when it is vital for a person (often a soldier or conscript) to learn the ranks of the Russian army in ascending order. Or just see before your eyes a list of military ranks in order in order to determine who reports to whom. What am I telling you here! Each of us knows that such cases happen and cannot be avoided.

That is why I decided to make a short article-note, which contains the maximum benefit in answering the following questions:

How are the ranks in the Russian army arranged in ascending order?
How are the shoulder straps of military personnel in the Russian army arranged in ascending order?

From words to deeds. Go!

Ranks in the Russian army in ascending order

I will make one remark before the list. You need to understand that in our army there are 2 types of military ranks of military personnel - military and naval. If you roughly describe the difference between these two types of ranks, then we can say this: military - these are the ranks of those who serve on the ground and in the air. Ship - those who serve on the water and under it.

In addition, I conditionally divided all ranks into 2 categories: officer ranks and ranks of other military personnel. It is obvious that the officer > other military personnel. Such is the hierarchy. By the way, here she is:

Non-officer ranks in the army in order (lowest to highest)

Private ~ Sailor.
Corporal ~ Senior sailor.
Junior sergeant ~ Petty officer of the second article.
Sergeant ~ Petty Officer of the first article.
Senior Sergeant ~ Chief Petty Officer.
Ensign ~ Midshipman.
Senior warrant officer ~ Senior midshipman.

Officer ranks in the army in order (lowest to highest)

Military rank ~ Ship rank.

Second Lieutenant ~ Second Lieutenant
Lieutenant ~ Lieutenant.
Senior Lieutenant ~ Senior Lieutenant.
Captain ~ Lieutenant Commander.
Major ~ Captain 3rd rank.
Lieutenant colonel ~ Captain 2nd rank.
Colonel ~ Captain 1st rank.
Major General ~ Rear Admiral.
Lieutenant General ~ Vice Admiral.
Colonel General ~ Admiral.
General of the Army ~ Admiral of the Fleet.
Marshal of the Russian Federation ~ There are no analogues.
