Ryadovoy (Russian: Рядово́й) in the Army, Airborne troops, and Air Force of the Russian Federation is the designation of a member of the rank group of enlisted personnel. The rank is equivalent to matros (Russian: матрос) in the Russian Navy. In the armed forces of the Soviet Union (and later in those of the Russian Federation) yefreytor is the second-lowest rank of enlisted personnel.
The word ryadovoy relates to the Russian ryad (Russian: ряд), which in a military context means "file" or "rank" (in the sense of "rank and file").
History
The Imperial Russian Army used the designation ryadovoy before 1917. The rank re-appeared in the newly named Soviet Army in 1946, replacing the rank of "Red Army man" (Russian: красноармеец, romanized: krasnoarmeyets) used in the Red Army from 1918 to 1946.
USSR
In the USSR Armed Forces the rank designation Ryadovoy was introduced in 1946. From 1919 to 1946 the designation to this particular rank was Krasnoarmeyets (literal: Red Army man or Red Army Soldier).
