Ryazhapov Nil Khaliullovich, Lavrova Irina Anatolyevna

the article is devoted to the creation and development of military symbols of the young Russian socialist state. The relevance of the research topic is due to the fact that as a result of the revolutionary events of 1917, fundamental changes took place in the system of public administration, military symbols and insignia of the tsarist army were abolished. The article focuses on the origins of the creation and development of military symbols of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army (Red Army), its subsequent development based on the ongoing socio-political processes in the country, the construction of the army on new ideological principles. Of interest is the historical experience of the formation and development of military symbols, taking into account the specific living conditions and national traditions of Russian society, which, of course, should be used to improve military heraldry.
