History

Early Soviet era and war years

The 1st Peasant Soviet Regiment was one of the first military units to be formed in the Red Army, being formed in 1918, in Gomel, a city in what is now Belarus. The first fighters were from the Gomel and Starodub partisan detachments.[1][2] It first saw action during the Russian Civil War during which it fought against foreign occupation and anti-Soviet forces. It was labelled the 241st Peasant Regiment immediately after those battles. For its service in the battles of Minsk, Baranavichy, Rodimin, it was awarded the Order of the Red Banner. On 9 June 1922, the regiment was renamed the 94th Peasant Rifle Regiment, and in recognition of its service it received the honorific Mikhail Frunze in 1927. In the 30s, the regiment took part in combat operations against the Imperial Japanese Army on Lake Khasan during the Soviet–Japanese border conflicts of the decade. In September 1939, the regiment was given the conventional name of the 17th Rifle Regiment.[3][4]
