I assume you mean Russian, rather than Soviet, since there is a distinction. During World War I, there were several Russian women who were credited with flying aircraft in combat. The most famous is Princess Eugenie Shakhovskaya, who flew for the Tsar and later for the Red Forces. It is not known for sure if she flew in combat, but she certainly flew as a member of the Armed Forces. Another was Lyubov Golanchikova, who was actually Latvian, but who flew testing aircraft for the Tsar, and later joined the Red Air Fleet, in the service of which she flew combat missions and trained pilots. A third was Helen P. Samsonova, who flew for the Tsar as a reconnaissance pilot and later as an observer for reconnaissance and artillery spotting missions. Princess Sophie A. Dolgorukaya flew in the later stages of WWI, but few details are available about her service. An interesting lady was Nadeshda Degtereva, who served as a pilot while pretending to be male, and who was discovered to be a woman only after she was wounded in combat. There is much historical debate about the actual involvement of these ladies in combat, but generally their involvement seems to have been "real, but very limited". Sorry I don't know anything about the ground forces with regards to this question. There is a good chapter on these flying ladies in "The Imperial Russian Air Service", by Durkota, Kulikov, and Darcey.
