The Soviet Union in the very early 1920s was a very different military beast compared to the Soviet Union of the early 1940s. Industrialization had taken place in the meantime and I dare say that the Soviets’ military school was better compared to the Tsarist’s regime.

Except they executed most of their experienced generals. So technically they had better equipment but used pure brute force because of lack of trained staff.

  I know that, but maybe that was for the best, it gave them guys like Zhukov.
