Formation and History
The Bashkir separate cavalry division was organized by order No. 615 of the Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council of the RSFSR L. D. Trotsky on April 5, 1919 in the city of Saransk on the basis of former soldiers of the Bashkir Corps and mobilized recruits as the Bashkir separate brigade .

In July-October 1919, near the cities of Bakhmach , Kharkov and Poltava, it fought against the army units of General A. I. Denikin [1] . Due to heavy losses, the 1st and 2nd Bashkir rifle regiments were reorganized into the Joint (consolidated) Bashkir rifle regiment (commander A. Kh.
