Military

Soviet Cavalry is not a single individual character, but rather a collective representation. In the context of military history and fiction, "Soviet Cavalry" refers to the mounted forces of the Soviet Union, primarily during the interwar period and World War II.

These cavalry units played a significant role in Soviet military doctrine, particularly in deep battle and operational maneuver. While technology advanced, the Soviets maintained large cavalry formations, believing they retained utility for reconnaissance, raids, and operations in difficult terrain unsuitable for tanks.

Notable periods of activity include the Russian Civil War and early stages of the Eastern Front during World War II. Cavalry units were eventually integrated into mechanized formations or reorganized as motorized rifle units as the war progressed and tank warfare became dominant. Therefore, Soviet Cavalry represents a broader aspect of Soviet military history rather than one person.
