bolshevik 1918-1922 info required
Hello, I'm looking into putting together some Bolshevik Russian civil war impressions, one of these shall be an armoured train commander. Now i need to know
1 - what sleeve insignia was used in 1919 and 1922
2 - a commander of an armoured train would be what rank?
I recall a photo in the Russian civil war 1 - the red army by osprey - unfortunately i can't find the book but it is this particular photo of an armoured train commander i i want to use to base my uniform on. This photo appears to not have been published on the internet anywhere. It's a man sat down, with a moustache and wearing a Caucasian shashka, fur hat. his 1918 commanders breast badge is an artillery badge - i just can't remember his sleeve insignia and rank! any help would be greatly appreciated!

There was no ranks yet. The period you are talking about was transactional the Red Guard was being converter into RKKA. By the order of 23 of February of 1921. Bolsheviks were getting rid of socialists, anarchists etc. The only recognised rank was a commander of RKKA with a commander bagde.

sorry, i use the term "rank" very loosely...i was thinking in terms of company commander, platoon commander etc so when thinking about the 1918 commanders sleeve patch, what would an armoured train commander have, squares? diamonds? being in command of a train would he be the equivalent of a brigade commander etc? i found the picture i mentioned, he wears a red cloth star with the imperial armoured train badge on his left sleeve.
