This is the official 1946 edition of the Internal Service Regulations of the USSR Armed Forces, a fundamental document for the post-war reorganization of the Soviet military. Introduced on July 24, 1946, it was the first such charter published after the victory in World War II. It played a crucial role in formalizing the structure and daily duties of the armed forces during the transition to peacetime. This charter consolidated the system of military ranks that had evolved by the end of the war, officially restoring the traditional rank of "ryadovoy" (private) and establishing the division of officers into junior and senior categories. As a primary source, this compact hardcover volume is an important artifact for historians studying the development of Soviet military doctrine, discipline, and institutional culture in the early Cold War period.
