It played a crucial role in the Russian Civil War, ultimately leading to the establishment of Soviet power. The Red Army was characterized by its ideological commitment to communism, its diverse composition, and its significant involvement in World War II, where it was pivotal in defeating Nazi Germany on the Eastern Front.
