The Red Cossacks (Template:Lang-uk, Template:Lang-ru) was a military formation of the Soviet government of Ukraine.[1] The formation was created in protection of the Soviet regime in Ukraine, liquidation of nationalistic and counter-revolutionary Central Council and as an opposing force to the Central Council's armed forces, so called "Free Cossacks".[2]

The first regiment was created on 28 December 1917 in Kharkiv by Vitaliy Primakov.[1]
