The 1st Guards 'Vienna' Order of Lenin Order of Kutuzov Mechanized Corps was a Red Army armoured formation that saw service during World War II on the Eastern Front. After the war it continued to serve with Soviet occupation forces in Central Europe. It was originally the 1st Guards Rifle Division. The unit had approximately the same size and combat power as an early-war Wehrmacht Panzer Division, or a British Armoured Division during World War II.
It was under the command of General Lieutenant Ivan Russiyanov, and gained the honorifics "Vienna, Voronezh".
In its final form, as the 171st Guards District Training Centre, it was disbanded while being stationed in Tbilisi in 1992.
