	Soviet Military Power - 1984
		Soviet ballistic missiles, rockets, nuclear-capable aircraft and artillery could all be employed in a massed strike against a set of targets beginning at the battle line and extending to the depth of the theater.
		Soviet air forces in the Western TVD have by far the highest percentage of modern aircraft - over 90 percent of their inventory - because the Soviets perceive that this TVD faces the strongest enemy and the most dense and complicated target array.
		Soviet combat helicopters are among the most heavily armed in the world - the Mi-24/HIND E and MI-8/HIP E attack helicopters and the MI-8/HIP C and Mi-17/HIP H assault helicopters offer Soviet commanders a considerable degree of flexibility in the application of intense firepower.

	Grossdeutschland Campaign Pt. 6 - Closing the Ring
		Soviet resistance at Sswetschkino would need to be dealt with before the troops could reach their billets in Konotop.
		By the late summer of 1941, the Soviet Southwestern Front, led by Marshall Semyon Budyonny, was relatively unscathed compared to the Red Army units opposite Army Group Center and North.
		With most of Southwestern Fronts armor destroyed in the Battle of Uman, there were few mobile units able to deal with the new threat.

	Foreign Military Studies Office Publications - American Perspectives on Eastern FrontOperations in World War II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Soviet military historians have logged the experiences of many Soviet units including armies, tank armies, corps (tank, mechanized, and rifle), divisions, and even regiments and separate brigades, although with a few notable exceptions.
		Soviet military works written before 1958 were highly politicized and focused heavily on the positive role of Stalin in every aspect of war.
		Soviet sources claim the strength of their operating forces on the Eastern Front was 6 million men.

	Soviet night operations in World War II
		The Germans, anticipating that the Soviets would continue to follow up on their success in the south, were not prepared to cope with the forces of four Soviet fronts approaching from diverging directions to cut off German strongholds at Vitebsk, Orsha, Mogilev, Bobruisk, and Minsk.
		Soviet rates of advance during the final stages of the war in Europe had equaled those of the Germans in Russia in 1941, thanks in part to the Russians' emphasis on day-night operations and night attacks.
		Although the Soviets have made a great effort to analyze the evolution and growth of night operations since the war, during the war they were probably not fully aware of how far these operations had permeated their tactics at all levels.

		Soviet and Western experts believe that damage to the people's health, to the economy, and to the environment will be felt for decades.
		Once the Soviet regime stipulated the plan figures, all levels of the economy, from individual enterprises to the national level, were obligated to meet those goals.
		A period, from about 1934 to 1939, of intense fear among Soviet citizens, millions of whom were arrested, interrogated, tortured, imprisoned, deported from their native lands, and executed by Stalin's secret police for political or economic crimes that were spurious.

	Aberjona Press: Slaughterhouse: The Handbook of the Eastern Front
		Soviet sources cover the period in greater detail, properly underscoring the importance of these combat phases in the ultimate outcome of battle on the approaches to Moscow.
		Soviet historians highlight the confused ferocity of the Border Battles; the importance of the Battle of Smolensk; and the Herculean efforts of the Stavka to assemble, amass, and commit to combat those strategic reserves which, at the gates of Leningrad, Moscow, and Rostov, ultimately thwart the German Barbarossa offensive.
		Soviet military encyclopedic literature ignores the operations, and the recent Krivosheev volume fails to mention losses in these additional operations and the overall losses of participating fronts during the lengthy period.

	The Battle for Moscow - Part II
		Despite the fact that the Soviet Southwestern Front was stronger than the fronts opposing the advances of the German army groups further north on the Eastern front, its armies were being pushed back.
		They had thus far managed to avoid being caught in the destructive battles of encirclement that other Soviet armies had been trapped in, but the Soviet forces fighting Army Group South were not in a position to disengage without risking destruction.
		Since the Soviet forces in the Ukraine were already being pushed back by the German offensive, doing so would have risked turning what was a battle for the Ukraine into a Soviet rout comparable to that occurring further north.

		On 5 December, the Soviet army launched a massive counter-attack against the German army using troops that had been withdrawn from duty in Siberia.

	The Hungarians in Barbarossa
		The Soviets surprised the Hungarians with their skillful delaying tactics, but the Soviets made no real effort to hold on to the area between the Carpathians and the Dneister.
		Despite heavy Soviet counter-attacks, the 2nd Motorized Infantry Brigade entered Nikolaev from the west as the 16th Panzer Division entered from the east.
		The Soviets were continually raiding across the river, usually in less than battalion strength, and the Hungarians were hard-pressed to defeat these raiders.

	The Politburo Diktat: Soviet Military
		On November 19, 1942, Soviet forces from the Southwestern Front and Don Front attacked Axis positions.
		The front collapsed as fast moving Soviet troops began encircling German Army Group B from the North and South.
		No Soviet pilots, no Soviet planes, no Soviet supplies.
