Should be Red Army

not Red army.Xx236 (talk) 10:41, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you mean the article name, it already is Red Army, and Red army has redirected here since 2004. (Hohum ^@) 11:46, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Great Patriotic War" (term)

Data/numbers covers more than 22 June 1941-9 May 1945 (National Socialist Germany war against ex-ally,Soviet Union), allot of those "numbers"(i.e. soldiers) fought in WW2, not just a subjectively selected period or front. --82.11.206.181 (talk) 01:57, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see the problem. This article does not misuses the term "Great Patriotic War." In the places where the term is used, it is appropriate in context of time. Binksternet (talk) 06:24, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Army of the USSR

It is correct that the Red Army "was the army and the air force of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic"? Was it not in fact the army of the Communist Party?Royalcourtier (talk) 01:50, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
