Formations of the Soviet Army

The Soviet Army, successor to the Red Army, the title changing in 1945, employed a wide range of military formations.

The Soviets used the term "Театр войны," Theatre of War (TV), to describe a large area of the world in which there might be several teatr voennykh deistvii, (TVDs) usually translated as theatres of military action/operations. Generally this concept equates to the largest extent of what Western thinkers would describe as a Theater (warfare).
