Is there a political commissar in the Soviet Red Army?

There was a political commissar in the early stage and it was cancelled in the later stage.

19 17, the Russian interim government introduced the political commissar system into the army to ensure the government's political control over the army.

After the October Revolution, the political commissar stayed in the Soviet Red Army until 1942.

In the Red Army and Soviet Army, the political commissar only existed in the following periods: 19 18- 1924, 1937- 1940,19438+0-/kloc-0.

In other periods when the Soviet army did not have a political commissar, the Soviet army implemented a long-term system, and troops at all levels set up political work deputies.

The political commissar has the same rank as the military chief of the unit where he works. He commands the unit and is fully responsible for it. Military command orders must be signed by the political commissar. However, the political commissar is often transferred from the local party and government departments to the emergency leading group, and because of the long-term tradition of the Russian army, the rank of the political commissar is generally lower than the basic rank of the post. For example, in the early days of the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union, the ranks of group army commanders were general, lieutenant general and major general, while the ranks of group army political commissar were often "division political commissar", "brigade political commissar" and "regiment political commissar" (before 1943, the Soviet military and political rank system was called differently). In addition, in an emergency, the political commissar can also command and direct his army.
