' () is the syllabic abbreviation of commanding officer of the division' (; ), and was a military rank in the Soviet Armed Forces of the USSR in the period from 1935 to 1940. It was also the designation to military personnel appointed to command a division sized formation (XX).
Until 1940, it was the fourth highest military rank of the Red Army, and was equivalent to Division commissar () of the political staff in all military branches, Flag Officer 2nd rank () in the Soviet navy, or to 'senior major of state security' (). With the reintroduction of regular general ranks in 1940, the designation was abolished, and replaced by Lieutenant general.
