Soviet admirals

[genstab]

Does anyone know where a list of all the Soviet admirals of World War II is posted? I am particularly interested in the ones who survived Stalin's prewar purges, in other words who were admirals before 1937. Appreciate any help.

Best,
Bill in Cleveland

V.M. Luryie "Admirals and generals of Soviet Navy in 1941-45" is a handbook with a complete list in Russian:

Does anyone know of a website source in English? I would be so bold as to hope for thumbnail biogrephiess with promotions listed.

Sorry, I don't remember any.

Hi Bill,

Here is a list of Soviet naval officers, who held the rank of Kapitan 1 ranga or Inzhener-flagman 3 ranga (equivalent to Kombrig in the Army) prior to 1st January 1937, and who was made an admiral on 4th June 1940 or later. It also includes a few a few Inzhener-flagman 3 ranga that were re-attested as Inzhener-kapitan 1 ranga (equivalent to Polkovnik (Colonel) in the Army) on 8th June 1940.

The list does not include officers, who held ranks of Brigadnyi-komissar, Briginzhener, Brigintend-ant or higher prior to 1st January 1937, and who were made admirals after 4th June 1940.

The list gives their date of promotion dd-mm-yyyy.

I don’t claim it to be complete!

Hope it is useful

Thank you very much, Steen. I appreciate your help. I figured that if anyone had the resources you would, though you normally specialize in generals.

Best,
