Equivalence to Marshal

Where are the sources that say Admiral of the Fleet was made equivalent to the Marshal? There's probably a confusion with Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union. --DmitryKo 22:01, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

I have no idea, that was here from the orignal version, I left it without really thinking about it. I'll look into it. Crocodilicus 22:50, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Fleet Admiral (Admiral of the Fleet) is not equivalent to Marshal but is to Army General (General of the Army). Confusion may have arisen due to Soviet practice where the one large star on shoulder-board insignia between the Fleet Admiral and Fleet Admiral of the Soviet Union (Army General and Marshal) was only a slight size difference, not easily noticed by someone unfamiliar with the subtle difference. Furthering this potential confusion was that both ranks also wore a gold "Marshal's Star" with diamonds on a neck ribbon when in full dress uniform. This problem has been removed with current Russian rank insignia which uses 4 stars for a Fleet Admiral/Army General and there are no Fleet Admirals of Russia/Marshals currently on active duty in the Russian Armed Forces.Федоров (talk) 23:52, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

What's a narkom?

In this line "The Navy, however, constituted a distinct narkom, and thus Kuznetsov held a position which was technically outside of the direct chain of command. The admiral utilized this fact in a very bold move." What's a narkom? --Awiseman 19:43, 17 July 2006 (UTC) Narkom - Narodnyi Komisariat (People's Comiseriat), it was an adminstrative division in the Soviet Government, think department.Crocodilicus 23:42, 24 October 2006 (UTC) Narodnyi Komissariat - narkomat, narkom - Narodnyi Komissar (People's Commissar), the chief of narkomat.

Concur with this comment and prefer reversion to information in Russian language Wiki as likely more correct. No source has been cited for previous information in the English language article.Федоров (talk) 18:16, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

As a relative to Nikolai Kuznetsov I can confirm they are not Serbian as most of our relatives are from an area called Vologda in Russia. Ingvar_Solhaug (talk) 13:47, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
