DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY TECHNICAL MANUAL GLOSSARY OF SOVIET MILITARY TERMINOLOGY ENGLISH-RUSSIAN RUSSIAN-ENGLISH inETURN TO1 EDREIGN UTARY' rSTJUL) ES Leavenavt DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY • MAY 1955 A in ac tr FOREWORD The purpose of this manual is to provide Russian equivalents for American terminology and American equivalents for Russian term­ inology.Emphasishas been placed,sofar as possible,on determining accurate equivalents based on accepted usage rather than on literal translations. For example,-the word upravleniye has no single American equiv­ alent and will appear, according to the context, as "directorate", "administration", or "control". In the case of Soviet military units which have no corresponding American unit, however, the Soviet term should be translated literally into English: e.g., the word aviyapolk is always translated "air regiment". A straight alphabetical sequence has been followed, regardless of whether an entry consists of one word or more,thus: directing vehicle direction direction adjustment directional Where necessary to distinguish between different uses of a word, the part of speech is indicated in parentheses—v, verb; n, noun; adj, adjective; etc. Wherethe-gender or number of certain Russian nouns is in doubt, it is indicated after the noun in parentheses—M,masculine;F,femi: nine; N,neuter; Mpl, masculine plural; Fpl,feminine plural; Npl, neuter plural;etc. To indicate the branch in which certain specific terms are used or the field of military activity to which they refer,explanatory glosses are given in parentheses beside the definition—Cml,chemical; MT, motor transport; Met, meteorological; Ball, ballistics; etc. For the mostpartthese abbreviations have been selected from the authorized lists in SR320-50-1 and FM21-30. Finally, the stress fs indicated in both parts of the dictionary on all Russian words of more than one syllable by an accent mark. Very few abbreviations have been included in this glossary—as a rule onlythose wherethe underlyingcomplete phraseisseldom in use, such as English G-1 or Russian FIYA30.See also TM 30-444. Terms have been selected primarilyfrom the area of Army usage; Air Force and Navy terms have been inchided only sofar as they are likely to occur in joint operations.In addition to military terms,tech­ nical and -engineering terms having a bearing on Army materiel and activities have been included,as well as political and economicterm­ inologyofusein psychologicaloperations.Somescientificterminology, especially relating to atomic energy and its implications, has likewise been added. .• 11 *TM 30-544 TECHNICAL MANUAL DEPARTMENT OFTHEARMY No.30-544 Washington 25,D.C.,16 May1955 GLOSSARY OF SOVIET MILITARY TERMINOLOGY ENGLISH-RUSSIAN, RUSSIAN-ENGLISH Page FOREWORD TRANSLITERATION TABLE FOR THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE iv ABBREVIATIONS USED IN THIS MANUAL PART ONE.ENGLISH-RUSSIAN • 1 PART Two.RUSSIAN-ENGLISH 363 APPENDIX I.
