Thanks a lot Cuprum, this helps a lot.
I'd like to use abreviations for the ranks
Would it work if I use

I think you can do as you please.
I do not know the abbreviations that designate military ranks in the tsarist army. But I can offer such abbreviations for the Soviet and Russian army, but these names are somewhat different.
ryad. - ryadovoj
efr. - efrejtor
ml. s-t (ml. s-nt) - mladshij serzhant
s-t (s-nt) - serzhant
st. s-t (st. s-nt) - starshij serzhant
s-na - starshina
pr-k - praporshhik
st. pr-k - starshij praporshhik
ml. l-t - mladshij lejtenant
l-t - lejtenant
st. l-t - starshij lejtenant
k-n - kapitan
m-r - major
p/p-k - podpolkovnik
p-k - polkovnik
Second Lieutenant, by analogy with the above abbreviations will be something like:
por-k - poruchik

I believed that lejtenant was not a rank in the Imperial Russian Army except in the navy.
Am I wrong?

Yes, until 1917, military ranks were very different from the modern system. The proper names of military ranks were in the infantry, cavalry, among the Cossacks, among military officials, and there were also differences in the ranks of non-commissioned officers of artillery.
Generals:
- general-fel'dmarshal
- general ot "infanterіi", "kavalerіi"
с
, etc. (the so-called "full general")
- general-lejtenant
- general-major
Headquarters officers:
- polkovnik
- podpolkovnik (vojskovoj starshina
k
) -
- major (vojskovoj starshina
k
)
Chief officers:
- kapitan (rotmistr
с
, esaul
k
)
- shtabs-kapitan (shtabs-rotmistr , podesaul
k
)
- poruchik (sotnik
k
)
- podporuchik (kornet
c
, khorunzhіj
k
)
- praporshhik
Lower ranks:
- zauryad-praporshhik
- podpraporshhik
- fel'dfebel (vakhmistr
c
)
- starshij unter-ofitser (starshij fejerverker
a
, starshij uryadnik
k
)
- mladshij unter-ofitser (mladshij fejerverker
a
, mladshij uryadnik
k
)
- efrejtor (bombardir
a
, prikaznyj
k
)
-ryadovoj (kanonir
a
, kazak
k
)
Ranks differing from infantry and combined arms are marked with thick letters:
a
- artillery
c
- cavalry
k
- Cossack troops

Thanks a lot Cuprum
Have you heard of the mutiny of russian soldiers in France in 1917?
This mutiny resulted in a 3 days battle "loyal" russian troops fighting "rebel" troops.
I have a long article for you if you want to know more.

Thank you Pascal. I am well acquainted with this story.
My main interest is the uniform of the Civil War in Russia (red, white, nationalists, interventionists). If you have information on this topic, I will be glad.

Cuprum, I'm not in the RCW for now.
I first want to study the WW1 Eastern Front and after that I'll open my RCW and back of beyond books.
Thanks a lot for your help, I might come back with more questions.
In the meantime I'm still readding all the messages on this forum.
Have a nice day.

Cuprum
according to Wikipedia which sources are this book: В. И. Шунков. Боевое и служебное оружие России. М., ЭКСМО, 2012. стр.7
the Russian Empire received 6100 Chauchat (Light MG) from France.
Would you have an idea of when these weapons were received?
I know that the lewis were received in 1917.

The first batch of these machine guns (500 pieces) arrived in Russia at the end of 1916.

Priwét Cuprum
a russian player proposed an alternativ to: Many soldiers of the rifle unit - Strelki
Many soldiers of the rifle unit - Pehota
What do you think?
Another subject:
is there any book or online source on the actions that saw " the first organic company of Russian Automobile Corps composed
of 15 Russian-Balt armored cars armed with machine guns and 3 Gardford-Putilov armored trucks equipped 76.2 mm cannon." (source is Russian and Soviet tanks 1914-41 by Maximino Argüelles Martínez.)

Hi.
I didn’t understand your question exactly
Arrows and infantry will not be much different on the battlefield.
There are a lot of books. But what I know is published in Russian.
The 1st automobile machine-gun company (1914) was armed with:
8 machine gun armored vehicles "Russo-Balt"
1 cannon armored car "Mannesman" (based on a German truck)
2 unarmored artillery gun trucks
19 cars
8 trucks
18 motorcycles
15 officers
150 lower ranks

Cuprum
my question is: is it more accurate to use Strelki or pehota as a translation for "Many soldiers of the rifle unit" ?
ok I'll try my chance online concerning the vehicle actions.

In the Russian army, by 1914, the pehota (infantry) and Strelki (rifle units) had no real differences other than the name. Tribute to tradition.
The Strelki are the heirs of Jaegers and other light infantry. The pehota units are the heirs of the ordinary line infantry.
