Red Army (Nazi Cold War)

The Workers' and Peasants' Red Army (Рабоче-крестьянская Красная армия; РККА) was the army and air force of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. The army was established immediately after the 1917 October Revolution. It was formed to counter the threat of the anti-Communist White Army. It was dissolved upon the Bolsheviks' defeat in the Russian Civil War.
