The 7th Ukrainian Soviet Division was a military unit of the Red Army during the Russian Civil War in the armed forces of the Ukrainian SSR.

History

On 24 March 1919, the Revolutionary Military Council of the Ukrainian Front made a decision to create the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Ukrainian Soviet Armies. On 15 April, it reorganized the divisions of the 2nd and 3rd armies into nine regimental divisions.Шаблон:Sfn

The 2nd Ukrainian Soviet Army included units of the Group of Forces of the Kharkov direction (management and the 1st Zadneprovskaya brigade of the 1st Zadneprovskaya Ukrainian Soviet Division, the 2nd separate brigade, the 3rd Zadneprovskaya brigade of the 1st Zadneprovskaya Ukrainian Soviet division, the Crimean brigade), which were consolidated into 2 regular divisions:Шаблон:Sfn

  • The 3rd Ukrainian Soviet Division (former Division Directorate, 1st Zadneprovskaya Brigade of the 1st Zadneprovskaya Ukrainian Soviet Division and other units).
  • The 7th Ukrainian Soviet Division (former 3rd Zadneprovskaya Brigade of 1st Zadneprovskaya Ukrainian Soviet Division and other units).

The anarchist Nestor Makhno, the head of the 3rd Zadneprovskaya brigade, was appointed head of the 7th Ukrainian Soviet division.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Meanwhile, the bolshevik Yakov Zakharovich Pokus, the chief of staff of the 3rd Rifle Brigade of the 2nd Ukrainian Soviet Division and acting commander of the 2nd Separate Brigade, was appointed chief of staff.Шаблон:Sfn In April-June, the division fought with the troops of the Armed Forces of South Russia under the command of Anton Denikin – the Volunteer Army (until 2 May 1919) and the Army of the Don Republic.
