4th Infantry Division (Russian Empire)

The 4th Infantry Division (Russian: 4-я пехотная дивизия, 4-ya Pekhotnaya Diviziya) was an infantry formation of the Russian Imperial Army that existed in various formations from 1806 until the end of World War I and the Russian Revolution.

In June 1917, it was designated as the 4th Infantry Shock Division (4-я пехотная ударная дивизия) upon being reformed as a shock troop unit and the following month it became known as the 4th Infantry Shock Division of Death (4-я пехотная ударная дивизия смерти).

In 1916, during World War I, the 4th Infantry Division took part in the Brusilov Offensive and was later reorganized as a "death" shock troop unit by General Aleksei Brusilov.

It was demobilized around the time of the Russian Revolution and the subsequent unrest.
