Background: Fifty-five years ago on February 23 the soviet Army and the Navy were created.

The decree providing for creation of the Red Army of workers and peasants was signed by Viadimir Lenin.

In the grim battles of Civil War the Red Army repulsed the armies of foreign intervention. routed counterrevolution at home and upheld freedom and independence of the world's first socialist state.

Unparalleled is the velour of the Soviet Armed Forces in the second World War.

Today the Soviet Army stands on guard of peace, socialism, and the world security.
