Third Formation
6th Rifle Division was briefly reformed for the third time in 1955–57 in the Transcaucasian Military District from the 406th Rifle Division, assigned to the 4th Army. However, it was reorganised as the 60th Motor Rifle Division in 1957. The famous combat history of the division and the feats of arms of its soldiers in the protection of Voronezh and in other battles are told in the exhibits of the museum of Boarding School No.4 on Leninsk prospeckt in Voronezh.
