The 236th Guards Artillery Brigade from Kolomna, Moscow Oblast, is a formation with a rich history (an artillery range since 1904, defense of Moscow and Stalingrad in 1941–1943), which received its Guards title in March 2023 for its participation in the war against Ukraine; details of specific operations have not been disclosed in open sources.
The 236th Guards Artillery Brigade (military unit 53195) traces its history back to the Main Artillery Range, established in 1904 near St. Petersburg and redeployed to Shchurovo (Kolomna) in 1927. During the Great Patriotic War, the brigade's predecessor was part of the Tula Artillery Corps and participated in the defense of Moscow and the Battle of Stalingrad, the liberation of Belarus, and the Berlin Offensive. Currently, the brigade is part of the 20th Guards Combined Arms Army. On March 31, 2023, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation, the brigade was awarded the honorary title 'Guards' for 'mass heroism and courage... in combat operations to defend the Fatherland' – a wording that confirms participation in the war against Ukraine, but specific combat episodes and losses are not documented in open sources.
