I had absolutely no idea!
Any old Russian woman (I mostly know Russians, not many from other Soviet states) will tell of the shortage of men. I never heard of the women on the front lines, I'll ask about that. I'm afraid we don't have much time to learn these things any more.
- ChrisMarshallNY 4mo agoThis is not something that I have studied (thus the “I think”), but Stalin did “meat wave” attacks, long before Putin. It worked, but at terrible cost. I think he grabbed everyone he could, but mostly men, I would imagine. Maybe women volunteered, but weren't drafted. I do know they had them in the frontlines. You actually see them, in old footage. I do know that he had women combat pilots. I think there was a movie, made about that.
- dotancohen 4mo agoI will definitely look into this, thank you very much.
