      Gardijci (гвардия) ili Gardijske jedinice su (гвардейские части) bile i još uvijek jesu elitne jedinice od carske Rusije, preko Sovjetskog Saveza do današnje Ruske Federacije. Tradicija seže još do Kijevske Rusije i njenih družina, strelaca (Стрелецкое Войско) te moskovskih helebardista, koje je oformio car Ivan Grozni 1550. Značenje samog termina je variralo kroz vrijeme.

      Sovjetske gardijske jedinice su ustanovljene 18. 09. 1941. Dekretom Narodnog komesara za obranu i jedinice kojima je ta čast dodijeljena smatraju se elitnim jedinicama. Oznaka gardijaca je uvedena 21. 05. 1943. Bilo je ukupno 11 gardijskih armija i 6 tenkovskih armija. Oznaka Gardijske jedinice opstala je i u nekim zemljama nasljednicama Sovjetskog saveza: Rusiji, Bjelorusiji i Ukrajini.

      Guards (гвардия) or Guards units (гвардейские части) were and still are elite military units of Imperial Russia, the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation. The tradition goes back to the a chieftain's druzhina of medieval Kievan Rus' and the Marksmen Troops (Стрелецкое Войско), the Мосцовите харљуебусиерс formed by Ivan the Terrible by 1550. The exact meaning of the term "Guards" varied over time.

      The Soviet Guards units were again awarded to units and formations which distinguishing themselves during the Second World War by the order of People's Commissar for Defence of USSR No.303 on the 18 September 1941, and were considered to have elite status. However, the Guards badge was not introduced until 21 May 1943. There were total 11 Guard Armies and 6 Guard Tank Armies. The Guards distinction was retained as designations of units and formations in the armed forces of the former Soviet Union: Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine.
