The Workers' and Peasants' Red Army started out as the Soviet Russia's revolutionary communist combat groups during the Russian Civil War of 1918--1922 and Red Cossacks Army of Ukrainian Republic, the official history of which begins from 22 December 1917. It grew into the national army of the Soviet Union. By the 1930s, the Red Army was among the largest armies in history.
The color connotation of "Red Army" refers to the traditional colour of the communist movement. On 25 February 1946, the Red Army was renamed the Soviet Army (Советская Армия, Sovetskaya Armiya).
The Red Army is widely credited with being the decisive land force in the Allied victory in the European Theatre of World War II. During operations on the Eastern Front, it engaged and defeated about 75%-80% of total German armed forces (Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS) deployed in the war.
