Soviet Style in War.

Abstract

The report addresses itself to the question: What are the distinctive propensities in Soviet warfighting (particularly on the ground)? An answer is arrived at by examining both Soviet memoirs of the war with Germany and Soviet military publications since then. It is suggested that, in substantial measure, Soviet peculiarities in warfighting are attempts to ward off undesirable tendencies which Soviet leaders perceive in their subordinates as well as in themselves.
