Russian term
в. зв.
Russian to English

Military / Defense
This abbreviation appears in the following context (a description of the assault on Afghan President Amin's palace). Sakhatov is identified elsewhere as a deputy commander of the "Muslim" battalion (of soldiers of Central Asian origin), so this abbreviation is seemingly unconnected with the word "взвод".
If this were a rank I might guess временное звание, but it's a должность.
Заместителю командира отряда (в. зв.) Сахатову я поставил задачу отобрать личный состав для захвата танков, закопанных у дворца

воинское звание
I can only guess that in parenthesis "в.зв." replace some real rank of a commander that is unknown for the present.

: It's known. Captain Mikhail Sakhatov. The rank is missing in this text, although in other citations from Kolesnik it is present. Probably editor's remark.

Comment: "Yes, upon reflection this seems to be the most likely meaning. Curiously, the author entered a parenthetical note elsewhere in the article, adding his initials there."

: Если бы это было в, то после в не стояла бы точка. Тогда так надо и писать.

Эрика, я лишь имел в виду, что в данном сокращении речь идет о ЗВАНИИ, а будет это "в звании", "воинское звание", "иметь звание" и т.д. зависит лищь от контекста.

Salavat is absolutely right. (в.зв.) is (воинское звание). I would also add a question mark.
(воинское звание?)
It's obviously editor's remark showing the abscence of Sakhatov's rank in the text and encouraging someone to do a little research. I decided to post my answer because of the language pair.
