75 years ago, the title of generalissimo was introduced in the USSR

Exactly 75 years ago, on June 26, 1945, the rank of generalissimo was introduced in the Soviet Union. In fact, this introduction took place for a specific person. He was a man under whose leadership the country defeated the Nazi invaders, Joseph Stalin. The day after the introduction of the rank of Generalissimo, it was assigned to him.

With this in stories The Soviet Union Joseph Stalin was both the first and only generalissimo. Despite the fact that officially the title did not disappear anywhere from the military charter, none of the military leaders and politicians in the Land of Soviets had the shoulder straps of the Generalissimo.



Formally, the title of generalissimo survived not only its only Soviet possessor, but also the Soviet Union itself. The actual abolition of the title occurred after the collapse of the USSR - in 1993. It simply ceased to exist in the new “military report card”.
Some historians believe that Stalin should have received the shoulder straps of Generalissimo on the day of the Victory Parade on June 24, 1945. However, for several reasons, the decision was somewhat delayed.

If we talk about the history of the rank in Russia, then for the first time the voivode Aleksey Semenovich Shein became the generalissimo in 1696. For his success under the title of Azov, King Peter the First granted him. Then "generalissimo" was more of a title than a military rank in the modern sense of the word.

      And all in the history of Russia, there are five of them.
      Shein, Menshikov, Ulrich of Braunschweig, Suvorov and Stalin. Four from the practical history of Russia, and Ulrich, so, "on paper".

                      With this, it's hard ...
                      In the wake of the "struggle against the cult of personality" about Stalin, any memories were erased (for example, the renaming of Stalingrad, or Stalino).
                      Moreover, films and other works fell under the knife of Khrushchev censorship, where Stalin was mentioned in one way or another.

                      I recently wrote a comment in which I posted the movie "Third Impact" ...
                      But under Khrushchev it was cut and renamed into "South Knot".

                    In 1924, the five most influential members of the leadership: Stalin, Zinoviev (chairman of the executive committee of the Comintern and head of the Petrograd party organization, plus the chairman of the Leningrad City Council), Kamenev (chairman of the Council of Labor and Defense and simultaneously chairman of the Moscow City Council), Trotsky, Rykov (Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars). Plus Bukharin enjoyed authority as an ideologist, and among the common people the Chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR and the All-Russian Central Executive Committee Kalinin, who until the end of the 20s, was popular. rather stood on pro-Bukhara positions. In the newspapers of 1924, more was written about Stalin than about these four figures. Trotsky was already in political isolation within the Politburo. The Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars Rykov did not claim a leading role. By the way, Stalin was recommended by Kamenev for the post of General Secretary.

                  These are special (non-military) and departmental titles of state. employees who are not on active duty. But the epaulettes of some MPS can be much more military than military.
                  By the way, in the USSR (I know, as in the special services now), KGB personnel officers were in really military service and went through military records, having military ranks, although they could wear uniforms a couple of times. And the police had only special ranks, and some seasoned polkan ugro in the military registration and enlistment office could be considered the captain of the reserve.

            Yes, we all know the status, but Vladimir correctly said that they receive shoulder straps for "real service", rather virtual, and victories will also find virtual ones. If for "real service" then Shevtsova T. has the rank of General of the Army, so she could grow up to the Generalissimo. But under Comrade Stalin I.V. the chief of finance was Lieutenant General Y. Khotenko. So, if necessary, they will find a virtual "battle" as well, as for example L. Brezhnev was assigned a marshal.

        In fact, there’s nothing for us to assign to marshals. That’s why Shoigu only wandered off the army (albeit with almost identical shoulder straps, for which I recently dispatched a bottle of horsemeat, thanks Kuzhurgetych, at least for that).

      Generalissimo is actually a non-systemic title. It is not included in the ranking of official ranks, it is assigned to the one who a) commands the armies of several states; b) commands the army of a state that is part of the coalition and made a decisive contribution to the victory over the enemy. Suvorov fits under "a", Stalin fits under "b". In all other cases, the generalissimo becomes an operetta title.

          Yes, Anton-Ulrich is a purely decorative generalissimo. This title was provided to him by his wife Anna Leopoldovna when she was regent during the reign of the young emperor John Six. However, after the overthrow of the infant king and the arrest of his entire family, Antosha lost a completely undeserved title.

      Our ranks of the generals are not entirely clear, for example, Major General and Colonel General, Major and Colonel senior ranks, junior lieutenant. So why is the lieutenant general? Was the rank of lieutenant colonel more logical? The same thing with the ratio of ranks and posts. Our regiment and brigade are commanded with the rank of colonel, a division major general. In the USA, for example, the brigade is commanded by a brigadier general, a division major general, corps lieutenant general, army general.

        The lieutenant general was older than the major general in imperial Russia. The reason for this is in the literal meaning of the words major and lieutenant. Major - senior, lieutenant - deputy. Lieutenant - deputy company commander (captain), major - senior in relation to the captain. The major general is the senior in relation to the colonel, that is, the division commander, and the lieutenant general is the deputy general-in-chief, that is, the "full general." Consequently, he is a deputy army commander or a corps commander, and therefore superior to a major general. This is according to the Table of Ranks, but since then it has become the custom.

          The lieutenant general was the deputy full general (general of the kind of weapons). This rank appeared in European armies in the mid-18th century.
          And the Colonel General (more precisely, the Oberst General) appeared in Prussia only in 1852, was a step higher than the general of the genus of weapons and was the highest rank that could be awarded in peacetime. And this was an exclusively Prussian title; in the rest of Europe, no titles were introduced between the general general and field marshal.
          In 1917, generals of the kind of arms were abolished from us (as well as other ranks). In 1940, restoring the rank of general, instead of the rank of general, it was decided to introduce the rank of colonel-general on the German model. And the lieutenant general was simply restored from the tsarist "table of ranks."
          Although initially in the project, which Voroshilov submitted to Stalin on the introduction of general ranks, it was planned to establish three ranks: General 3, 2 and 1 rank. By the way, exactly the same is now in Ukraine, in the National Police (and the non-brothers will still say that they are getting rid of the Soviet legacy).

        In the USA, as far as I know, the title is rigidly tied to the post. Even a sergeant appointed under certain circumstances comrotes could get a field patent and carry the captain's sleepers. And then please take it off. In our country, the staffing nets provide for play - and they can put the major on the brigade, and then he will receive asterisks if he justifies the trust. That is, our military ranks are personal.

          This thing that you describe in the US Army is called "brevet" or temporary promotion.
          The servicemen promoted in this way are called: brevet major, brevet colonel, which distinguishes them from "full-fledged" officers in this rank. After some time of service, the owner of the brevet can receive his military rank permanently or, having lost the patent, return to his original permanent rank.
