List of Soviet unit honorifics

Below is an incomplete list of Soviet World War Two-era unit honorifics (Russian: pochotniye naimenovania), their English translations, and the units that were granted these honorifics. The list also includes 'named' (imenniye) units that were named after famous communists, war heroes, or organizations. The honorifics are listed in Russian alphabetical order. Names of non-Soviet towns and locations have been rendered in their own language instead of the Russianized version (i.e. Białystok instead of Belostok). For the purpose of consistency, substantives have been preferred over adjectives (i.e. Pomerania instead of Pomeranian), even though some honorifics technically are an adjective, in order to stress that these honorifics do not indicate the unit's origins or home town (as opposed to many Imperial Russian Army units, which were named after the region or city they were raised in, like the 210th Bronnitsy Infantry Regiment established in the city of Bronnitsy). Some units, however, were named after their home town. These units form a separate category below. In some cases, an honorific is listed under both categories: for example, a number of units raised in Moscow as well as a units honored for their involvement in the defense of Moscow received the honorific 'Moscow'.

Wherever possible I have tried to distinguished between multiple formations of one unit designation; for example, during World War Two there were four different 2nd Rifle Divisions, raised at various times during the war. The number of the formation has been given in Roman numerals in parentheses. If a unit was promoted to Guards status after having received an honorific, only its Guards designation is listed below (with its original designation in parentheses). The same goes for units that were otherwise redesignated (for example from long-range air corps to bomber corps). I have ignored the adjective 'Independent' from regimental level upward.
