Yes. The armed forces were known as the Red Army, as well as Red Air Force, Red Marines, Red navy etc, until after Stalin died in 1953, it was then re-named to the Soviet Army, Soviet air force etc, although many people still referred to it as the Red Army, as they became a national icon after the Great Patriotic War, during which they were referred to as the Red Army. Few people ever accepted that they were renamed to the 'Soviet Army, due to their grand legacy for uniting Europe, defeating the Japanese in eastern Russia and Manchuria etc, and instead, like I say, they were continued to be named 'The Red Army.'
