Talk:Military history of the Soviet Union

1963:

to the admiration the Russian culture often expresses for stern leaders of every stripe. They did not join in the fight against Germany until they were attacked. The domestic policies of Stalin's USSR were so oppressive that many Soviets greeted their invaders with open arms, and this combined with a recent humilating defeat at the hands of the Finns caused Stalin to panic and fight the war against Germany with a new found fervor, including shooting any soldier or sailor that looked like he might try to flee the battlefield. The Soviet Union had designs on Poland and had discussed dividing it with Germany before the signing of the Pact, so arguing that the Soviets were altruistic in the war would be difficult. The Soviets committed dark atrocities during the war, like the Katyn Forest Massacre. Instead of 'liberating' Warsaw, they circled it for days while the Germans razed every buiding. Their behaviuor after the War was deplorable. But, however dubious the intent or cruel their approach, they did fight the Germans pretty fiercely, and it's doubtful the West could have defeated the Nazis without them, with the possible exception of using nuclear weapons which hadn't yet been invented. So some credit is due, but with a caveat. An analysis of their delaration of war with Japan and Truman's subsequent decision to drop bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki for a causal link should be considered as well. You can't ignore them, but I wouldn't glorify them either. Ignoring Russia seems to be a mistake that Europe makes quite frequently, usually with disastrous results. Tell their story, so long as it's told objectively.

1740:, sound like racism to me. Most Soviet citizens didn't choose Stalin in an election, so it's wrong to blame ordinary Soviet citizens for the attrocities commited by the regime. You don't seem to appreciate that the main victims of any oppressive regime are the citizens of the regime themselves. Stalin killed far more Russians than anyone else. And let's remember that mass murder was being perpetrated on both sides, the Nazis did their fair share of massacring said people. The war was always going to happen when an expansionist like Hitler was appeased. Both regimes were as obnoxious as each other. The Soviet Union almost certainly could have won by themselves, but the Allies probably could have defeated the Nazis as well. Lets remember that it was a joint effort, both the Allies and the Soviet Union contributed to the defeat of the Nazis. I always think it was a great shame that Roosevelt sold the Poles down the river, after all the Brits and the French went to war in the first place because of the invasion of Poland.-- 1951:

and jailing you own people can not be justified. However, my initial comment was with regrad to the phrase that Soviet Union only assisted in the defeat of the Nazi Germany. All people who read books know that this is an outright lie, and effort to enhance the role of the West in WWII by using the pretext of Stalinist brutalities. We also all know very well, that the United States was the only country in history that used the nuclear weapon, which happenned twice in Japan killing many thousands of innocecnt people. The US killed 1 million Vietnamese in the Vietnam war and continuing its stupdid war in Iraq. Peter, if you do not want to compare the US policies with the Stalinist ones, please do not. The peoples of the former Soviet Union have already rejected the Stalinist era crimes. But you, Americans should know your history better and enhance the educational level of your people as this is one of the first steps towards the real democracy. BAYRAM

2981:"defeats for the Red Army in the Polish–Soviet War (1919–21) and in independence wars for Estonia (1918–20), Latvia (1918–20) and Lithuania (1918–19)". I would not call these wars wars of independence, they are rather civil wars, since often in the territory of the Baltic States, troops of non-Baltic origin fought against the Bolsheviks and even played one of the decisive roles in this war, like the same German Landswehr in Latvia or that how the northwestern Russian army or the same Russian-German western volunteer army of Bermondt-Avals fought for Estonia in Lithuania and vice versa, the same Latvian riflemen and Lithuanian and Estonian units fought in the Red Army, you can also remember that they were quite popular in the Baltic states Bolshevik and generally left-wing ideas, in the same elections to the constituent assembly, the Bolsheviks took just the same took first place in Estonia 969:), given the wealth of literature on this topic, writing at this level of detail only requires when to write from his own general knowledge and from other sourcebooks; such a broad article can only be a most general of surveys. As for the organization, it is not based on that of the LOC handbook. It is based on my own proposal to first trace the origins of the military/party/government structure and the military's relationships with other Soviet institutions, and then to give a brief overview of Soviet national security, ending it with an examination of the nature and size of the Soviet military-industrial complex. This organization is an alternative to one based on a simple timeline, chronicling every single Soviet military intervention (an organization more fitting for an article that takes into account the history of Soviet foreign relations along with military history). 961:(1) It is public domain, and better than nothing. (I haven't had time this week to write my own work.) As for quality and neutrality, the LOC handbooks indeed come with their own biases, but they are generally far less biased than the hysterical anticommunism that usually pervades Knowledge (XXG) articles, making every single political crisis in the Third World out to be a part of some grand Kremlin conspiracy. (2) I have modified all of the content that I have posted, not taking anything from the LOC sourcebook for granted, posting only stuff that I can personally vouch for with other sources. If anyone has any specific qualms about any of the content that I have posted, I will provide independent sources backing it all up. (3) As for the scope, even if this article were to become as detailed as our largest text-based article found in 984:, I have no problem with the text you have added, and personally I love the format, but I do have a couple of things to ask you: 1. Since you have these other souces, and have used them as references already, could you add them to the page's References? 2.though, like I said, I like the form, I think "National security" is too broad a term. Shouldn't it be something like "Practical deployment of Soviet military" or "Soviet theory in practice" or "History of Soviet military activity" or something (I know none of those sound quite right). Do you have any ideas for changes? would you object if I changed it? Also, shouldn't that section be more comprehensive? I don't understand why it shouldn't include all of the events currently relegated to "Timeline". perhaps I misunderstand its purpose. Thanks. 1998:

That is irrelevant. It is also undeniable that the Soviet Union had a key role in the defeat of Nazi Germany - that without the actions of millions of Russian soldiers (who are simply people fighting to liberate their country. Most played no part in the atrocities committed by their government.) there is absolutely no way the Second World War could have been won. The same, in fact goes for the rest of the allies. The USA helped supply the survival of the Red Army. Britain gave a vital foothold in western europe. And so on. We should agree on some sort of compromise. I'd be happy with the current wording - as long as The Military History of the United States stated that the US also 'assisted' in the defeat of Nazi Germany. Let's not let our opinions get in the way of the facts.--

invasion, they (soviets) knew that they had most powerful land army in history and their forces in europe were unmatched by anyone, I am pretty sure sthere are references that state that it was in fact Stalin's plan in 1944 (when it was clear USSR would take Germany in a couple of years by it's own, even americans would not intervene) to attack europe and make it socialist. Even if you are right, you should not right "soviet vulnerability", but rather "soviet vulnerability as perceived by then soviet leadership", because in reality there was none. But first, you should provide some sources that the buffer zone was established because of the reasons you stated and not some other? Please provide sources.

545: 1212:

think still is missing, is the disregard for the lives of the soldiers during WWII. It is not enough just to cite the losses, divisions that could easily have been saved were not responsibly evacuated, in decisions every bit as callous and stupid as Hitlers throwing away of his troops at Stalingrad. The USSR lost 7 million, not because it was a great sacrifice, but because it didn't care. How many of the 20 million civilians lost were due to the scorched earth "strategy", or the failure to evacuate Leningrad? I'm not sure if the callousness of civilian deaths are part of military strategy or policy that should be included in this article, but it might be.--

Soviet-Polish war, although Poland was the first to invade the territory of the RSFSR, and more precisely, the territory of Ukraine in April 1920, thereby violating the winter agreements of 1920 year, and before that the conflict began in the winter of 1918-1919, when, after the departure of the German army, the Polish forces moving east, and the Soviet forces west began to fight for the western border territories of the former Russian empire, although there was an attempt to negotiate on the part of the RSFSR, which the Polish side rejected at the beginning of 19 year

this figure was 15 percent). The Soviet military-industrial complex employed at least one fifth of the workforce. (The comparable U.S. figures were roughly one-sixteenth of gross national product and about one of every sixteen in the workforce.) Toward the end, the article can touch on the economic devastation suffered by main regions of the former Soviet Union with the end of the Cold War and the cutback in military spending, which hit heavy industrial plants very hard and some regions of Russia entirely dependent on the military-industrial complex.

366: 760:. I think if we split the article according to the timeline, it would be easier for multiple editors to collaborate on it. What you propose would likely produce a better article, but it would be a lot harder to write. Your proposal requires an understanding of the issue as a whole, as opposed to just learning parts of it. I am not opposed to your proposal. I just think it's more than can be realistically done by a loose group of editors. It's a job for one or two dedicated editors working in close collaboration. -- 1702:

agression or delay it for as long as possible. This non-agression pact was also signed as a response to the Munich Cospiracy signed by British and French prime-ministers and Hitler himself. According to the Munich Cospiracy Germany was allowed to annex part of Chekhoslovakia, which gave the way for annexing the whole country and other European countries. Rick, just try to imagine one thing: Soviet Union lost 27 MILLION LIVES in the war, so it should get the credit as the main power which defeated the Nazi. BAYRAM

505: 21: 1192:

that the Soviet Union had branches of the military specifically in order to quell unrest (which I suspect is already mentioned but I'd have to check). However, I don't see what the subjugation of the baltic states has to do directly with the military. Surely this is something the Kremlin would decide upon and the army would be more of an instrument than anything else? It's certainly worth mentioning but I fail to see how it affects the point of view (or lack of) of this article.

995:(1) Yes, I'll start working on a references section, along with the other unfinished sections. (2) I like "Practical deployment of Soviet military." Please go ahead and change it to that title. The other two proposals are okay, but they may encourage other users to get too chronological. Yes, the section can be more comprehensive, along with all the others. Every section of the article is a work in progress. (3) Nice work on your own contributions, especially the photos. 1980:. Each of these tragedies should be looked at for what it is, without succumbing to the temptation to immediately point fingers to what are perceived as even worse monstrosities. Nobody pointed out yet that the "US" had to depopulate a whole continent before they could even get started on their follow-up atrocities. It's too easy to point with fingers, though. Every nation should try to take responsibility for their history as well and as maturely as they can. 439: 1047:

understanding Japan and Russia were still at war at the time, never having signed a peace treaty after ww2. US, Chinese tensions were very high during that time with taiwan having elections later that year. Also directly about the Navy, many sailors reported not having been paid in months, some reported partial payment only. Further, when coming into harbor, it was obvious that the Russian ships were painted only on the side facing the shore.

44: 1308:

I was justified in doing the same. I understand what you're saying now, and I agree that "Military doctrine" is a more appropriate section heading. What put me off was the word "thought", which seemed nonspecific and unprofessional. At the time I did not understand the distinction between Military and Strategic, and there was no explanation in your edit summary, so I was confused by the relevance of the edit.

2735:

during the 3 wars and numerous conflicts during the period (1947-1991). The Indian military was relentlessly equipped with modern aircraft, naval vessels, submarines and tanks in order to ensure the safeguard of the Indian republic and numerous defence and miltary pacts were signed between the Soviet and Indian governments. India's dependency on Soviet aid is not unknown and neither can it be denied.

565: 251: 1939:"In any event, the policies of the US cannot be compared to the crimes against humanity committed by the Russians during the Stalinist dictatorship." - So wait, the coup of Chile in 1973, planting of Saddam, funding the contras in Nicaragua, the little escapade in Somalia, the massacre in the Philippines in 1899, imperialism in Latin America till WWII, aren't crimes against humanity? -- 1513:

the war, Stalin and his functionaries had been the one convicted of war crimes. The article is discussing war crimes because they undoubtly took place, which is only denied by some historical revisionists. Massacres committed by Soviet troops in Eastern Germany, notably in East Prussia, Silesia etc., and other places, are well documented by the German government after the war. // Peter

2009:

aggression against Poland, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and numerous other countries. They were fighting to conquer, occupy and suppress other peoples. They were fighting for the stalinist regime that killed, deported and enslaved more people than any other regime in world history. Those opposed to stalinism, in fact some 1 million Russians, fought on the German side. // Peter

2152:

mentioning the unsavoury aspects would be a failure of WP's mission as an encyclopedia. If we have a disagreement about the content of the article, then we have to improve the article by sorting out the facts, and adding it so long as it is NPOV. And in any case, other countries do have an atrocities section, or even links to whole articles devoted to discussing their crimes. eg.

517: 154: 323: 312: 301: 290: 279: 1012:

majority of the Russian officers at least continued their careers. Since 1991 Russia still has no difficulty in maintaining an unbroken strategic nuclear parity with the USA. Of course I am not denying that Russia's military has for the most part only a fraction of the Soviet capability before 1991, but collapse it not an appropriate word to describe what happened.

1559:

If they are acceptable, we can decide how to include them in the article. And when we do, we should do this properly, by reworking the article so that it retains its good style of the featured article of the day. Do not just paste your thoughts in the text to make a point. Care should be taken to express the material in good academic style. Please, no flames.

economy and society for power and the allocation of resources. First, it should start off tracing the development of the leadership and organization of the Soviet military, its relationship to the Communist Party and the secret police, and how Soviet authorities ensured the political control of the armed forces throughout the Soviet era.

2681:

Finns wisely chose to settle early with the Soviets, while there was still potential for a relatively lenient peace treaty. In the end, the Finns retained their independence, but ceded huge tracts of territory, and resources, to the victorious Soviets. Why does this article have to distort historical truth? What is the point?

2021:

at the time - advertising 'driving back the nazi invaders' was widely disbelieved by the new recruits. (e) Prove finally that *anyone* against the Stalinist agenda must neccessarily be in support of and fight for the Nazi regime. Know that you are claiming against the historical consensus on that time, and so

1871:, mass rapes, massacres etc. They are gloryfying Soviet symbols (symbols which are banned as criminal in countries like Hungary and was considered banned in the entire EU by the Justice Commisionary Franco Frattini a few weeks ago). Many people in the western world believe the russians have a problem with 2812:

I definitely think that the three events mentioned here are significant and relevant to the content of this article. "Military History" definitely does not solely refer to wars - if the article was called "Wars of the Soviet Union" then maybe I could understand the removal of this information. But it

2606:

I think we should delete this nonsense. As a counter argument, there are two words: "Operaton Unthinkable". Churchill and British intellegence admitted that attack on USSR in 1945 was "militarily unfeasible". It was rather the other way around in terms of vulnerability. Western Europe was vulnerable

2020:

Prove it. Ie. prove that every single soldier fighting under the banner of the Soviet Union (a) knew about the atrocities that were taking place, (b) were in active support of Stalin's policies in every way, (c) actively engaged in various atrocities. (d) Prove additionally that the Soviet propaganda

2008:

This is ridiculous. The stalinist hordes committed horrible war crimes, massacres, mass rapes of million of women during the war. In fact every stalinist soldier should have been tried for war crimes. The claim that they were "fighting to liberate their country" is ridiculous. They were waging war of

1875:

which needs to be dealt with before Russia can delevep a really democratic society. The Russians needs to be educated in the crimes of the Stalinists and Soviet Regime. The Sakharov Museum in Moscow har stated that this is a necessity to prevent such crimes from ever happening again and a moral duty.

1728:

etc. etc. Tell us another rubbish story, will you? I any event, the Stalinists killed at least 50 Million people and ruined half of the European continent, which they brutally occupied and suppressed for half a century until the liberation in 1990! The Russian hordes are even today occupying Chechnya

1567:

One of the problems mentioned is Victors justice, if that's to be properly accounted for then everyone debating has to be aware of the potential partiality of their upbring. A certain amount of disclosure of ones potential bias is necassary in these discussions. I personally don't doubt the claims of

1553:

Whether or not Peter's relations were involved in WWII as combatants or as members of civil population suffered from the Soviet or Allied occupation is irrelevant to the points he is making. Allegations of rapes committed by Soviet troops have been discussed in several recent mainstream books written

1512:

I don't see articles where German actions during WWII are presented as "allegations". Knowledge (XXG) must treat the Soviet Union in the same way as other countries (for instance Germany) are treated. That Stalin didn't convict himself (solely because he won the war) is irrelevant. If Germany had won

1298:

I do not think "Strategic doctrine" is not appropriate in this context. The article is really just discussing the there-unnammed military doctrine of Deep Battle. Where you see "Strategic doctrine" used is essentially national security plans, or "grand strategy." Military doctrine, such as what this

2640:

Sovits were aware of the size of German military at the time it attacked them, soviets were aware of the size and power of western military in Europe. Of course, German military (not only german actually) was of course much more powerful. What I am saying in a nutshell: The way they fought off last

says: "Unbeknownst to the Americans, the Soviets were preparing to follow up their invasions of Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands with an invasion of the weakly defended island of Hokkaidō by the end of August, which would have put pressure on the Allies to do something sooner than November." No source

2083:

I don't believe any of my claims are "against historical concensus". I don't believe historical concensus even exists on this matter. The differences between the view of pro-western historians in the Baltic countries, Poland, Hungary and other countries on the first side, and of Stalinist apologists

1962:

Well, the USSR did sign the Molotov-Ribbentropp Pact, which formally made them allies of Nazi Germany. They did so due to a variety of factors, ranging from resentment at the fact that the West (Britain and France) had chosen to ignore them on a number of proposed partnerships in the interwar period

1862:

At least you can say what you want in the western world, take part in political and economical life without being persecuted by Comrade Putin like Khodorkovsky was. Russian bandits, hordes and rapists in Putin-occupied Chechnya can in no way be called civilized. The Russians are now building statues

1701:

Rick! First of all, not Russia, but Soviet Union, which composed of 15 republcs, now independent states. Second, Soviet Union, was not a German ally at the time, it's useful to read the history carefully. Soviet Union signed a Non-Agression Pact with the Nazi Germany to protect itself from Germany's

1528:

My grandparents fled from Latvia to western Germany shortly before their country was brutally occupied by Stalin for the second time. I never was there before after the liberation. They were Latvian patriots and anticommunists and would most likely have been killed or deported if they stayed. Why do

1397:

I'd feel more comfortable with something on the order of it was "the major army in the defeat of Nazi Germany". Certainly it is difficult to attribute relative credit when one considers the importance of air power in the strategic bombing of the German economy and attrition of the Luftwaft and when

1366:

You're right, this could potentially have been a problem. I do not, however, see where it has actually materialised as one. All of the text imported from the LOC has been heavily expanded and editted since its introduction, and if you look further up on this talk page you'll see that quite recently

1361:

I see that the article includes a mention that some of the material was sourced from the American library of Congress... surely that is a little biased considering that for most of the Soviet Union's history, the USA was against the USSR (invading it during its birth, and the Cold War later), except

1307:

My apologies. I have not been at Knowledge (XXG) for very long, and this is really the first page I've contributed to that has received significant input from other users, so I am rather unfamiliar with rules of decorum. I assumed that since you changed my section header without consulting me that

1235:

Hmm, you're right, the bit which talked about WW2 didn't mention the enormous losses they took in the desperate circumstances, nor the brutality of the Red Army once they went on the offensive. I put in reasonable mentions of both, I think, along with a couple of references. The rapes and murders of

868:

Oh, okay. Jiang pointed out that this page should be moved back to military history of the Soviet Union since all the other military history articles use that format. I tought about that problem and figured that the page could be moved again to military history of Soviet Russia and the Soviet Union,

767:

True, but the goal of the collaboration of the week process is to produce something worthy of featured article status. While I can't write the whole thing, I can help with the research and outlining if the other editors want to write a scholarly piece that goes deeper than an almanac-like chronicle.

716:

Second, the article should trace the role of the defense sector in the Soviet economy. The Soviet Union's commitment to the Cold War was enormous. In the late 1980s, the Soviet Union devoted a quarter of its gross economic output to the defense sector (at the time most Western analysts believed that

2734:

I fail to understand why the Soviet Military support and supply to the Indian government from independence (1947) upto the dissolution of the Soviet Union (1992) is not even remotely mentioned in thsi article. Soviet Military aid to India was the backbone of India's military superiority to Pakistan

2680:

The facts are that, after suffering a series of defeats by the Finns, the Soviets reorganized their forces, and mauled the enemy in a final great offensive. Mannerheim, the Finnish commander, then advised his government to negotiate peace on Soviet terms. Recognizing that they had lost the war, the

2511:

This is the sentence I quoted from the article. The problem is that the government at the time was not rebellious but anything else. In fact most of the civilians were killed because of the demonstrations calling for resignation of the government. I lived those days and I do know that it is true. I

2151:

I don't this Graham ended the argument - and if he did, I don't think that affects the point that the Soviet Union has indeed a controversial history with many allegations of atrocities. And I do agree with Peter and others that to have an article about the history of the soviet military whilst not

1915:

so your point is? Russia is evil? Yeah, but then so is the USA, guilty of the most appalling war crimes and genocides, and the most cynical sponsoring, in turn, of war criminals and mass murderers. It's always nice to know how evil people were on the other side of the fence, but it would be ever so

1580:

One more point. The Nazi war crimes are considered to be the crimes of Nazi State, not the crimes of the German military. Atrocities, mass executions, village razing, etc. were conducted by SS troops rather than regular army. Therefore, similar caution should have been applied if one was writing an

1558:

a war crime. If Peter is aware of any serious sources (I do mean equally serious as the books quoted above) that document the massacres of civil German population under Soviet occupation and conducted by the army, not NKVD, he should bring them up at this talk page. Peter, please cite your sources.

1334:

Please explain how rape and murder fit into a "scorched earth" policy. The Knowledge (XXG) article on "scorched earth" does not mention either. However the rapes and murders of the advancing Red Army in World War 2 are extremely well documented. Even Russians suffered. I think it's a sick joke that

1199:

The invasion of Finland certainly merits mention. Isn't this one of the few times the Red Army was totally defeated? They pulled out of Afghanistan and Chechnya is not going all that well, but my understanding is they were completely repulsed by the Finns, who ended up on the side of the Nazis once

1191:

Um, this is about the MILITARY history of the Soviet Union, not the political history. I suppose it would be worth mentioning the havoc the Red Army caused to Germany and her allies at the end of WW2, since that was more on a personal level than a political level. I think it's also worth mentioning

2671:

The resulting war proved disastrous for the Soviet military. The Red Army, which was still feeling the sting of Stalin's purges and finding itself starved of industrial and intellectual resources, and facing a disastrously under-estimated opponent, suffered a series of embarrassing defeats before

1997:

Now, now, kids. It is undeniable that the leadership of the (early?) Soviet Union, particularly Stalin himself, match pretty much every definition of evil there is. I do not believe anyone can disagree with that. Perhaps it was merely a willingness to sacrifice human decency for some dubious goal.

1659:

Guys! Soviet Union did not assist in the defeat of the Nazi Germany, Soviet Union defeated the Nazi Germany having lost 27 mln lives. The West opened the Second Front only 11 months prior to the Victory Day of May 1945 and only assisted in the defeat of Germans. The bulk of the job of bringing the

to say, however, that your specific claims are without merit. However, since these complaints are yours alone, they ought to be very easy to enumerate and satisfy. Would you care to do this? Just make a list of your specific complaints regarding NPOV, note which ones have already been corrected

1227:

It's certainly true that Soviet infantry have been used as cannon fodder more than once, especially in defence of the USSR. I agree, if this article is going to discuss campaigns, it should discuss them all. They were pretty desperate, though. I think we should also mention the chaos the soldiers

1211:

The subjugation of the Baltic states was a "use" of the military, how is it not part of the military history? I realize this is a broad coverage, but to talk about brilliant campaigns and victories, and to leave out these less glorious uses of the military just seems POV to me. One thing that I

1064:

This article was really coming along great when it seemed to lose its steam a few days ago, but I believe that we have the proper start of a featured article. The problem I see is that "Cold War and Conventional Weapons" was too broad a category that covered too many conflicts, so I divided it up

628:

The timeline on the bottom of the article do not include the occupation/annexation of the three baltic states in 1940. Stalin sharply demanded to place soviet military on their ground, the small states did'nt dare to say anything else than yes, and Stalin followed up with a "socialist revolution",

2995:

Well, in exactly the same way, you can see that the Red Army won the wars in the Caucasus, against Georgian, Armenian and Azerbaijani nationalists, and, of course, it is also strange that the authors of the article claim that it was the Red Army that committed aggression against Poland during the

2361:

anon one, perhaps the case is being made on political significance to the leaders? Soviet leadership was notorious for not caring about mere casualties civilian or military. So casualties may not be the appropriate criteria of a big defeat. If it were, several "victories" would also have to be

2044:

I didn't claim that every Russian soldier knew about the crimes, but seriously, even if they were told that they were 'driving back the nazi invaders' when the Soviet Union attacked Finland, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania from 1939 on, at a time when Germany was their ally, I don't find it

1589:

is an appropriate place for such crimes. I want to repeat again that the WP articles is not the place to randomly dump some information, even factually accurate, by readers who advance their point of view. The encyclopedic style requires care. At least, when making a significant edit, the editors

1264:

Thanx for your assistance. I have remove NPOV. The other changes I'd like to see would take more time to document, and it would be unfair to hold up an article that is fairly neutral. It is unclear to me whether some of the decisions that resulted in so many loss of civilian and military lives

2575:

Hi there I wold like to let all people viewing this page that I restored The part about the list of soviet milatary action's I think these are extremly important because it lets people know the soviet's didnt just fight in the russian civil war, world war 2, the cold war and it's proxe wars.

1576:

One can be partial based on personal background of course. But Encyclopedia article, while written by people, are based on established information, not the original research that is more prone to bias. Of course, the sources can also be picked selectively. That's why it is important to quote the

1417:

well, 85-90 % of Wermacht forces were deployed in Eastern front, so, yeah, USSR played a major role in defeat of Nazi Germany. Strategic bombings and air superiority did not hinder Germans as much as Soviet army. Not nearly as much. Strategic bombings in state of war are not that importnat. Land

After writing the comments above, I just inserted a new draft outline in the article. Since this is a collaboration of the week, I hope that many other editors will fill it in and/or tweak it. I won't have time to write much of the content, though, in the next couple of weeks.

They lost twenty-seven million lives 'cause they just threw bodies at the Germans. And the Non-Agression Pact was an alliance, they carved up Poland, something allies would do. The Americans and British were far more responsible for the war ending than the Soviets.

1496:"being instrumental in the war of aggression" is not an atrocity per se. War of aggression and a war crime (atrocity) are different things and should be presented properly. I agree, the fact that Soviet Union was involved in wars of aggression deserves mention in 2045:
