Historical reference.
The Workers' and Peasants' Red Army (RKKA) was the ground forces of the RSFSR in 1918-1922 and the USSR in 1922-1946 (that is, approximately from the time of the formation of the Soviet Republic until the end of World War II). An interesting feature is that in army documents since the summer of 1941, the abbreviation RKKA or the name "Workers' and Peasants' Red Army" is almost never encountered. The name "Red Army" is used everywhere. The abbreviation RKKA or the name "Workers' and Peasants' Red Army" is used mainly on ceremonial occasions.Source:: ru.wikipedia.org и army.armor.kiev.ua.
