I'm really wondering, what prompted the USSR to change the name of the "Red Army" to "Soviet Army" in 1946?
There seems to be nothing on it. Is it propaganda related?
Probably, maybe to differentiate the current military with the heroic men who kicked the Nazis in the balls? It could also be to match the other countries, like how the Army of the United States is the US Army so too is the Army of the Soviet Union the Soviet Army. This is a great question, hope other Anons with actual knowledge jump on this.
The name was loosely linked to trotsky.

Pretty much, Red army is too revolutionary and internationalist name compared to Soviet army

Because red army of the peasants and workers doesnt fit after defeating the nazi

maybe because it was no longer a revolutionary army but an army of an established power? i don't know im guessing here
