Trivia

 * The Soviet/Russian military are one of three forces in the Call of Duty series that have been both allied and enemy factions. They are enemies in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops. The others are the U.S. military: Americans have an enemy as part of the Shadow Company (which may actually be a private military company), and the British who appear in the level Project Nova in Call of Duty: Black Ops.
 * In World At War, all Soviet troops have Private shoulder strap (plain), even though some are Corporals or Sergeants. Only Sgt. Reznov has a proper Sergeant's shoulder stripes (three vertical lines). All Soviet forces in multiplayer have Private stripes.
 * In World at War and Black Ops, the Soviet emblems on many troops' hats are sideways.
 * This is the only faction that has many names for it (Spetsnaz, Red Army , Soviet Forces , Russian Army Forces )
 * The Spetsnaz in Black Ops and Modern Warfare 2 are different, the Spetsnaz in Black Ops are the real historical soldiers while the ones in Modern Warfare 2 are members of the Ultranationalist Party.
 * In all missions in which the player plays as a member of the Soviet Armed Forces, all words said to the player will be spoken in English or whatever language the game is set to.
 * In multiplayer, whenever someone uses an AK47 as the Spetsnaz or its allies, it will have a star close to the stock of the rifle.
