As a separate naval units of the regiments of Marines existed until the early nineteenth century. After that they were transferred to the land forces, and the execution of amphibious operations entrusted to sailors.

In 1916, on their basis it was formed two marine infantry division in the Baltic and black sea fleets. In the Civil war (1918-1922) in the worker-peasant red army fought various groups of sailors, and in 1920-1921 part in the fighting in the Donbass took 1st marine expeditionary infantry division. After the Civil war, all the land part of the worker-peasant red fleet, with the exception of the guards regiments, was disbanded.
