Chief Marshal
The ranks of Marshal of a branch (Russian: Маршал рода войск, Marshal roda voisk) and Chief Marshal of a branch (Russian: Главный Маршал рода войск, Glavni Marshal roda voisk) were senior military ranks of the Soviet Armed Forces. Immediately above the rank "Marshal of a branch" is the rank "Chief Marshal of a branch". Both ranks are immediately above the rank "Colonel General" and equal to Soviet General of the Army. The ranks were created as an analog to Air Marshal and Air Chief Marshal, though they weren't used just in the Soviet Air Force but also in the several Soviet Army's branch commands.

Famous quotes containing the word chief:
“The chief lesson of the Depression should never be forgotten. Even our liberty-loving American people will sacrifice their freedom and their democratic principles if their security and their very lives are threatened by another breakdown of our free enterprise system. We can no more afford another general depression than we can afford another total war, if democracy is to survive.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
