In the mid-1960s Borevi\v{c} and Faddeev initiated the study of the Galois module structure of groups of $p$th-power classes of cyclic extensions $K/F$ of $p$th-power degree. They determined the structure of these modules in the case when $F$ is a local field. In this paper we determine these Galois modules for all base fields $F$.
