List of Russian field marshals
The following 64 officers of the Imperial Russian Army held the rank of field marshal (Генерал-фельдмаршал).[1] After the Russian Revolution of 1917 the rank was abolished, alongside the Table of Ranks. In 1935 however, the Soviet Red Army introduced the equivalent rank of "Marshal of the Soviet Union" (Маршал Советского Союза) when military ranks were restored under Stalin's rule.
