Russians Praise Legacy of Soviet Army

The vast majority of people in Russia think the Soviet Army was instrumental in the development of Eastern Europe, according to a poll by the All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center. 77 per cent of respondents say the Soviet Army freed Eastern European countries from fascism and gave them a chance to flourish.

Conversely, 11 per cent of respondents think the Soviet Army freed these countries only to instate dictatorships and deprive them of their independence.

The Soviet Army got its name in 1946, when it was officially constituted as the legitimate army of the Soviet Union. This army, formerly known as the Red Army, helped liberate Eastern European countries from German Nazi rule.

In the 1980s, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev played a key role in reducing the size of the Soviet Army, mainly due to its immense costs. He also reined in the military forces as he avoided confrontations with civilians in many Soviet republics that were seeking independence. Following the official end of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Soviet Army dissolved.

In late February, Communist Party (KPRF) leader Gennady Zyuganov led a rally criticizing the government of Russian president Dmitry Medvedev for its handling of an economic crisis. Zyuganov recalled the glories of the communist era, declaring, "We are holding a rally today in support of the best traditions laid down by the Russian and Soviet armies. In the unity of these traditions lies the future of our national security."
