I've been trying to hash out a good Russian ranking system for B-Tech, but I can't find two of the highest ranks or any of the enlisted ones. Here's what I have got:

Première
Marshal
General
Polkovnik
Maior
Kapitan
Poruchik
Podporuchik
Command Sergeant Major
Sergeant Major
Corporal
Private First Class
Private

Any help is appreciated.

I've looked, but often I get pages with not all the info I need, or none at all. I'm also looking for info on the Spetznaz and regular military forces. A little history wouldn't hurt me either. *goes back to search through mounds of sites* Wish I could read Russian.

Why not do a search for free russain translators that you can download and translate the text from russain sites. If you go technobable, you can get some things in the internet browser setted so that they can translate russain into english automically.
