On 7 May 1940, three new Marshals were appointed: the new People's Commissar of Defence, <a href="/wiki/Semyon_Timoshenko" title="Semyon Timoshenko">Semyon Timoshenko</a>, <a href="/wiki/Boris_Shaposhnikov" title="Boris Shaposhnikov">Boris Shaposhnikov</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Grigory_Kulik" title="Grigory Kulik">Grigory Kulik</a>. </p><p>During <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, Kulik was demoted for incompetence, and the rank of Marshal of the Soviet Union was given to a number of military commanders who earned it on merit. These included <a href="/wiki/Georgy_Zhukov" title="Georgy Zhukov">Georgy Zhukov</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ivan_Konev" title="Ivan Konev">Ivan Konev</a> and <a href="/wiki/Konstantin_Rokossovsky" title="Konstantin Rokossovsky">Konstantin Rokossovsky</a> to name a few. In 1943, Stalin himself was made a Marshal of the Soviet Union, and in 1945, he was joined by his intelligence and police chief <a href="/wiki/Lavrenti_Beria" class="mw-redirect" title="Lavrenti Beria">Lavrenti Beria</a>. These non-military Marshals were joined in 1947 by politician <a href="/wiki/Nikolai_Bulganin" title="Nikolai Bulganin">Nikolai Bulganin</a>. </p><p>Two Marshals were executed in postwar purges: Kulik in 1950 and Beria in 1953, following Stalin's death.

These included both those who were purged in 1937–38 (Blyukher, Tukhachevsky, and Yegorov), and those who held high commands in the early years of World War II (Budyonny, Kulik, Shaposhnikov, Timoshenko and Voroshilov). All of the latter except Shaposhnikov and Timoshenko proved out-of-step with modern warfare and were removed from commanding positions.</li> <li>Those who made their reputations in World War II and assumed high commands in the latter part of the war. These included Zhukov, Vasilievsky, Konev, Rokossovsky, Malinovsky, Tolbukhin, Govorov, and Meretskov.</li> <li>Those who assumed high command in the <a href="/wiki/Cold_War" title="Cold War">Cold War</a> era. All of these were officers in World War II, but their higher commands were held in the <a href="/wiki/Warsaw_Pact" title="Warsaw Pact">Warsaw Pact</a> or as Soviet Defence Ministers. These included Sokolovsky, Grechko, Yakubovsky, Kulikov, Ogarkov, Akhromeev, and Yazov.</li></ul> <p>All Marshals in the third category had been officers in World War II, except Ustinov, who had been <a href="/wiki/Ministry_of_Armaments_(Soviet_Union)" title="Ministry of Armaments (Soviet Union)">People's Commissar for Armaments</a>. Even Yazov, who was 20 when the war ended, had been a platoon commander. Brezhnev was not a professional soldier, but was still commissioned as a political commissar in the war. </p><p>Of the 35 Marshals who were career soldiers, the majority were of Russian origin. Timoshenko (Tymoshenko), Kulik (Kulyk), Grechko (Hrechko), Yeremenko (Yeryomenko), Moskalenko, Batitsky (Batytsʹkyy) and Koshevoy (Koshovyy) were of Ukrainian origin, while Sokolovsky (Sakaloŭski) and Yakubovsky (Jakuboŭski) had Belarusian origins. Rokossovsky (Rokossowski) was born in Congress Poland to a Polish family, while Malinovsky (Malinowsky) was born in Odessa (now in Ukraine) to a Polish father. Tukhachevsky also had Polish ancestry. Bagramyan (Baghramyan) was the sole marshal of Armenian origin. </p><p>The rank was abolished with the dissolution of the Soviet Union in December 1991.
