Soviet War Memorial (Tiergarten). The Soviet Union's Red Army raised divisions during the Russian Civil War, and again during the interwar period in 1926.Only a few of the Civil War divisions were retained in this period, and even fewer survived the reorganization of the Red Army during the 1937–1941 period.
The division was to have an establishment of 26,972, with 14,220 combat troops, and depended on 10,048 horses to manoeuvre.
