5th Guards Tank Division

On 14 September 1945, on the basis of the order of the NKO of the USSR No. 0013 dated June 10, 1945, the corps, within the overall demobilization process, was reorganised as the 5th "Stalingradsko-Kievskaya Order of Lenin Red Banner orders of Suvorov and Kutuzov" Guards Tank Division (First Formation). Immediately after the war the division was part of the 6th Guards Tank Army.^[4] From September 1945 to June 1957 the division formed part of the 6th Guards Tank Army (briefly 6th Guards Mechanised Army).

122nd Guards Motor Rifle Division

On 29 June 1957 the 5th Guards Tank Division became the 122nd Guards Motor Rifle Division.^[5] From 1976 to 1989 it formed part of the 36th Army.

When the 41st Guards Rocket Division of the Strategic Rocket Forces disbanded in 2001, "for a long time" there was no decision on the future use of the empty Aleysk military garrison, containing housing, a school, three kindergartens, a swimming pool, and "an enormous amount of equipment that was discarded outside the city limits." "The maintenance of these facilities turned out to be too expensive for the small city of Aleysk." But a decision was made "at the beginning of summer [mid-2001]." A motor rifle division of the Siberian Military District was to arrive to replace the SRF personnel.^[6] Later the division was identified as the 122nd Guards. Thus the 122nd Guards MGAD became a motor-rifle division.^[7]

35th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade

In 2009 (June) the division became the 35th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade.
