The Right Stuff and the Fast Track: A Look at Soviet Military Districts and Their Commanders, 1945-1981

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to give a history of Soviet military districts (MD) that have existed since 1 January 1945. It is not meant to be a complete history. Therefore, it will not deal with number and type of units, the mission, training history, or command structure of each MD. It will, instead, concentrate on: (1) what MDs have existed, (2) where and when they existed, (3) who commanded the MDs, and (4) which MDs constitute the 'fast track' to promotion.
