The 77th Guards Rifle Division was an infantry division of the Soviet Union's Red Army during World War II. The division traces its history to the 21st Division of the Moscow People's Militia, formed in July 1941. In August–September 1941 the division became the 173rd Rifle Division (2nd Formation). From the northern autumn of 1942, the division participated in the Battle of Stalingrad, leading the defensive and offensive operations north-west of Stalingrad and in the city. In accordance with Order of the NKO number 104 dated March 1, 1943 173rd Rifle Division was converted to 77 Guards Rifle Division - for successful combat operations on the Stalingrad front. Reduced to 10th Brigade 1946-52, became 77th Guards Motor Rifle Division 1957 at Arkhangelsk.〔Michael Holm, http://www.ww2.dk/new/army/msd/77gvmsd.htm〕 In the northern autumn of 1989 transferred to the Northern Fleet and became a coastal defence division.〔V.I.
