After the war, the soldiers of the Red Army fell into disgrace. As the Cold War began, Khrushchev rehabilitated the Army, which kept a purely repressive purpose. Revolts were suppressed in blood. 

Following the Cuban Missile Crisis, the USSR and the Capitalist Bloc engaged in interposition conflicts. In the 1970s, the living conditions of soldiers deteriorated. The long intervention in Afghanistan definitively undermined the Soviet system. At the end of 1991, the USSR disappeared. The Red Army is now confined to a symbolic purpose, between nostalgia and nationalism.
