The 155th Separate Guards Kursk Orders of Zhukov and Suvorov Naval Infantry Brigade (Russian: 155-я отдельная гвардейская Курская орденов Жукова и Суворова бригада морской пехоты) is a brigade-sized formation of the Russian Naval Infantry. It is located in the city of Vladivostok and the village of Slovianka, Primorsky Krai. It is part of the Pacific Fleet. In Western sources the title is sometimes translated as "Marines."
Since 2022, the brigade has taken part in the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, where it has fought near Kyiv, Pavlivka, Avdiivka, and Vuhledar. During its deployment to Ukraine, the unit has suffered heavy losses, with the Institute for the Study of War reporting that the brigade had been destroyed and reconstituted eight times by March 2023.
The unit has been accused of numerous war crimes in Ukraine, including beheading Ukrainian soldiers and executing prisoners of war.
