	Military history of the Soviet Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Soviet participation in the Spanish Civil War was greatly influenced by the growing tension between Stalin and Adolf Hitler, the leader of Nazi Germany and an avid supporter of the fascist forces of Francisco Franco.
		As the Soviet Union officially dissolved on December 31, 1991, the Soviet military was left in limbo.

	Soviet Union (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The military counterpart to the Comecon was the Warsaw Pact.
		In the 1970s, the Soviet Union achieved rough nuclear parity with the United States, and surpassed it by the end of that decade with the deployment of the SS-18 missile.
		The Soviet Union was so large, in fact, that even after all associated republics gained independence, Russia remains the largest country by area, and remains quite ethnically diverse, including, e.g., minorities of Tatars, Udmurts, and many other non-Russian ethnicities.

	Soviet Union (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, general secretary of the ruling Communist Party from 1922 to his death in 1953 molded the features that characterized the new Soviet regime.
		The Soviet Union was established in December 1922 as the union of the Russian, Ukrainian, Belorussian, and Transcaucasian Soviet republics ruled by Bolshevik parties.
		After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Russian Federation claimed to be the legal successor to the Soviet Union on the international stage.

	sociology - Cuban Missile Crisis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Soviet MRBMs on Cuba, with a range of 2,000 km (1,200 statute miles), could threaten Washington, DC and around half of the U.S. bases (of nuclear-armed bombers) with a flight time of under twenty minutes.
		Castro had sought Soviet support after the collapse of its relations with the U.S. due to the expropriation of U.S. properties in Cuba and a subsequent CIA-backed attempt of invasion of Cuba known as the Bay of Pigs Invasion (1961).
		Soviet reasoning was two-fold — first, to defend this new Communist state from an American or American-sponsored invasion, and second, to shift the nuclear balance of power away from the U.S. by putting American cities directly within the range of Soviet missiles.

	Lies Concerning the History of the Soviet Union
		The history of the millions of people who were allegedly incarcerated and died in the labour camps of the Soviet Union and as a result of starvation during Stalin's time.
		Soviet society was forced to make great efforts in the decade from 1930-1940, when the major part of its resources was dedicated to its defence preparations for the forthcoming war against the Nazis.
		As far as the Soviet labour camps were concerned, it is true that the regime was harsh and difficult for the prisoners, but what is the situation today in the prisons of the US, which are rife with violence, drugs, prostitution, sexual slavery (290,000 rapes a year in US prisons).

	Leavenworth Papers No. 7 (August Storm: The Soviet 1945 Strategic Offensive in Manchuria)
		Soviet planning for the Manchurian campaign began in March 1945, when operations in the west were in their final phase.
		One problem was that the military purges of the late 1930s deprived the Soviet Army of the leadership necessary to implement doctrine artfully and thus to stem the German tide.
		The reverses the Soviets suffered in the winter of 1942 and the spring of 1943 at the Chir River, at Tatsinskaya, and at Kharkov occurred at least within the context of a battlefront that was inexorably moving westward.

	Sputnik
		History changed on October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik I. The world's first artificial satellite was about the size of a basketball, weighed only 183 pounds, and took about 98 minutes to orbit the Earth on its elliptical path.
		The story begins in 1952, when the International Council of Scientific Unions decided to establish July 1, 1957, to December 31, 1958, as the International Geophysical Year (IGY) because the scientists knew that the cycles of solar activity would be at a high point then.
		In addition, the public feared that the Soviets' ability to launch satellites also translated into the capability to launch ballistic missiles that could carry nuclear weapons from Europe to the U.S. Then the Soviets struck again; on November 3, Sputnik II was launched, carrying a much heavier payload, including a dog named Laika.

	The Military History of the Soviet Union during the Post War Years
		It was during this time that the leaders of the Soviet government (Stalin and others) vowed that this would never again happen to Russia.
		To achieve this end, the Soviets sent aid to Communist movements in all of the nations it controlled at the end of the war.
		The Warsaw Pact was formed by the Soviet Union in 1955 to counter the NATO alliance.

	RUSSIA
		After the fall of the Soviet Union, most of the bones were recovered, genetically identified, and buried at the other Imperial tombs in St. Petersburg.
		When the Soviet Union fell, the Pretender to the Throne of Russia was the Grand Duke Vladimir, second cousin to the young Grand Duchesses.
		Nevertheless, this is a nice footnote to the history of calendars and continues to be an issue for the Orthodox Churches that did clearly accept the 1923 reform.

	The Military History of Tsarist Russia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The former is a general over-view of Russian military history during this period.
		The origins of the Russian military’s decline, as the essays point out, are found in its delayed social development (serfdom was not abolished until 1867, consequently depriving the army of an adequate source of recruits for a large, adequately trained reserve in the age of mass armies) and economic development.
		Judging from the discussion of the Soviet army found in the introductory and summary essays, as well as occasional references in some of the intervening essays, it appears that Kagan and Higham see similar influences in the creation and development of the Soviet army after 1917.

	The Military History of the Soviet Union
		Companion to The Military History of Tsarist Russia, compiled by the same authors, this collection of 17 essays by leading experts constitutes a comprehensive military history of the Soviet Union- as opposed to a history of the Red Army, national-security policy, or civil-military relations.
		This debilitating war left the development of Soviet doctrine and forces further crabbed, in that the lessons learned from Afghanistan were not regarded as an advanced course in small wars, but as instruction on dealing with internal threats.
		In keeping with its character as a military history of the Soviet Union, the book could have profitably devoted a separate part entirely to the Second World War in addition to those parts dedicated to the formation of the Red Army and Cold War.

		Poor Soviet performance in the "Winter War" with Finland prompted hasty reforms, but neither reorganization nor rearmament was complete before the German invasion in June 1941.First suffering catastrophic loss inflicted by the Wehrmacht, the Red Army had recovered sufficiently by December 1941 to defend Moscow and to counter-attack.

	The Military Strategy of the Soviet Union : A History by David M. Glantz - 0714634352
		Armed revolution and civil war gave birth to the Soviet Union, world War II propelled it to global pre-eminence, and the Cld War contributed to the Soviet Union's demise.
		Given Marxism-Leninism's idological preoccupation with war and threats of war, it is understandable that the spectre of war should play a vital role in the life and fate of the Soviet state.
		This study of Soviet military strategy is based upon the twin pillars of Soviet political-military actions and Soviet writings on the subject of military strategy.
