The obvious place to start is with the tachanka (тача́нка) three horse MG Wagon.
Also we have to take note of the use of one horse peasant carts in the winter of 1941 and the government actually placing orders for these.

Russian Army and Red Army Horse drawn wagons and carts
There is a bit of information out in the world about the Heer range of wagons and carts, so I propose finding the same information for the Russians and Soviets.
The obvious place to start is with the tachanka (тача́нка) three horse MG Wagon.

Re: Russian Army and Red Army Horse drawn wagons and carts
NOTES ON RUSSIAN ANIMAL-DRAWN TRANSPORT
With a high degree of motorization in many modern armies, particularly our own, it is easy to overlook the important part animal-drawn transport has played in World War II. In the German infantry division, horse-drawn vehicles are extensively used. A two-wheeled animal-drawn cart is standard equipment throughout the Japanese army. Finally, it is felt that if Russia had not possessed a large amount of animal-drawn military transport, their supply lines might have long ago broken down with the consequent defeat of her armies in the field; this is true not because of a lack of motor transport, but rather because ground conditions in Russia during much of the year make it essential that motor transport be extensively supplemented by animal transport.
The Soviets have clung tenaciously to the small, time-tested two-wheeled cart and a light four-wheeled wagon for transport, notwithstanding the great strides in motorization. These vehicles are not only used in the army, but also play a very important role in civilian transportation facilities.
There are definite reasons why Russians use a light vehicle instead of a heavy wagon. First, the Russian horse is of small stature, averaging less than 15 hands and, although he is a hardy and tough animal, he is unable to pull the load of the larger draft animal. (It is very unusual to see anywhere in the U.S.S.R. a large horse.) Secondly, inasmuch as so very little hard-surfaced, cobbled, or even improved roads exist in the U.S.S.R., transport is confined to natural dirt roads and even cross country; in certain conditions this make passage all but impossible. For military purposes in particular, cross-country operation is the rule, and in periods of thaw and rain, Russian mud is well-nigh impassable to any type of transport except a small wagon and cart or sled. When a Russian four-wheeled wagon becomes bogged down, a handful of soldiers can extricate it with very little trouble and keep the column moving. Thirdly, the Red Army finds a ready means of supplementing its organic transportation wherever it moves, since every community contains its complement of the standard cart, wagon, or sled which can be quickly commandeered for military purposes.
In the rear areas of the group of Russian armies which surrounded Stalingrad, American observers report the presence of the four-wheeled wagon, and of sleds of the same dimensions and capacities; these were the only means of supply other than trucks. Where trucking was lacking for the supply during the encirclement of the Germans, thousands of four-wheeled wagons and sleds were recruited from the local inhabitants and elsewhere. The Russian general in command of operations in the Stalingrad area stated that movement from railhead to distributing point was a slow process requiring considerable valuable time, but by utilizing all types of transportation, including the two- and four-wheeled vehicles, he was fully supplied and on time.
The construction of the two-wheeled cart is very simple, and it is built to carry 450 to 500 pounds. It is fitted with shafts and drawn by one horse. It is 2 1/2 ft. deep and 4 ft. long. The four-wheeled wagon and the sled are about 2 feet longer and are drawn by one, two, three, or four horses in line.
It is noteworthy that nowhere is there evidence of the use of large heavy wagons of the escort type.
In winter dogs are used to draw light sleds. In the more northern regions even reindeer are used; they provide the cheapest and most economical means of transport, since they feed on the tundra (open, treeless plain).

Re: Russian Army and Red Army Horse drawn wagons and carts
Not only in the winter. I have seen pics and read evidene they could be used on summer halfyear too. These examples I saw where in the wounded- transport groups, in the end phase of the war. So I dont know how common they really were, and when.Der Alte Fritz wrote:NOTES ON RUSSIAN ANIMAL-DRAWN TRANSPORT

Re: Russian Army and Red Army Horse drawn wagons and carts
Very nice article showing the different types of carts, wagons and carriages used in Russia.
Refers to a government body setting a standard for production of carts and wagons from 1928
Nice images of the different types.

Re: Russian Army and Red Army Horse drawn wagons and carts
This article from 1916 lists the types of vehicles held by the Imperial Russian Army with their individual statistics
http://www.imha.ru/1144538057-povozki-v ... lni6fnhDWJ
This site shows all the different types of civilian wagons
http://www.mintorgmuseum.ru/vocabulary/381/
it does mention the use of GOST standards in the production of carts and wagons

Re: Russian Army and Red Army Horse drawn wagons and carts
I have been looking for

Re: Russian Army and Red Army Horse drawn wagons and carts
From this we can conclude that for the Red Army, specialist horse drawn vehicles were supplied by organisations such as GAU Main Artillery Directorate and were items such as limbers, caissons, etc. But I cannot find any details of the types of these.
For the general purpose wagons and carts, these seem to have been made to a government standard pattern that was used in both military and civilian life, like on the state farms. So the information on the website quoted above would seem to hold good.
There does not seem to be the standardised range of 'military' wagons that the Germans used such as hf.1, hf.2 hf.7, etc.
