          >Communications would be a daunting challenge. The Russian supply of cable was insufficient to run telephone or telegraph connections from the rear; all they had was needed for field communications. Therefore, they relied on mobile wireless stations, which would link Zhilinskiy to his two army commanders and with all corps commanders. The Russians were aware that the Germans had broken their ciphers, but they continued to use them until war broke out. A new code was ready but they were still very short of code books. Zhilinskiy and Rennenkampf each had one; Samsonov did not.[20] According to Prit Buttar, "Consequently, Samsonov concluded that he would have to take the risk of using uncoded radio messages."[21]

                He "lost" the moment Britain committed to no armistice after the fall of france, if you only count things that were actually within Germany's control they had lost the moment war were declared, that's not the point
                And Russia in 1916 had far more paths to victory open than Germany in 1941

            You know, a lot of Stalin-era bullshit seems unbelievably moronic to an incomprehensible degree, but it really starts to seem better when you compare it to the absolute Black persony that happened under the Tsar.

                Stalin AT LEAST modernised the army. He didn't do a great job but he still did a job, and that was critical to the survival of the state. If nothing had changed, they would have been unable to oppose German advances, ever.

              Stalin did what he did for a reason (mostly keeping himself on power) whereas the Tsar was a moron through and through. FFS he got a bunch of serfs killed at his own coronation and nearly got overthrown early when he ordered troops to fire on some peasants delivering a petition.

                Stalin did what he did because he believed the only reason the USSR hadn't become actual proper communism like Lenin predicted was because of sabotage and traitors to the revolution and the historical process. This caused a even greater sense of paranoia that never ended and just got worse as time went on and things like Barbarossa happened. Stalin was a true believer.

          Military incompetence and their one major victory (Brusilov Offensive) being essentially pyrrhic in nature and crippling their army, especially since they completely failed to capitalize on their victory there and got beaten back by a coalition of Germans, Turks and Bulgarians who rushed in to cover Austria-Hungary’s ass while they recovered.

      This.
      The loser of WW1 was able to call themselves the territorial victor for years while lines on the map barely moved, until the day they collapsed from war weariness and sued for peace at any price.
      Bakhmut matters, but not because the west side of the garbage dump or Dmitri's gas station is taken tomorrow.
      Ukraine has said they stayed in Bakhmut in large part because of a very favorable attrition ratio with the Russians. Which is very believable because they're defenders in an urban area.
      And in Prighozin's latest rant today he either admits or retroactively copes that "Bakhmut has no strategic importance" and says it was done after Kherson to tie up Ukraine while they "build up offensive potential, grind the enemy’s manpower and enable the Russian army to mobilize".
      Since the Russians were politically unwilling to mass mobilize like they could have and used up their offensive potential in failed assaults elsewhere, that makes it a waste, but still one that could have been more useful than implied by just counting up square meters of controlled rubble.
      Nothing happens, until everything happens.

      "Think Tank" is the only time in the English language where "think" is used as anything but a verb. In a sentence, your brain has a tendency to disregard it because it has zero meaning as an action in that context.

      Considering you can fit several thousands of people in one city block with a 100+ story skyscraper, it is less impressive than it seems. Especially if A) you do not mind very small spaces B) you do not mind lots and lots of people C) you do not require parking, fridge, stove, washing machine, etc. just a bed and maybe a hot plate D) you are poor and have no choice.

        To be completely fair to both the Germans and Vatniks:
        In WW1, the Germans thought they could bumrush the French like they did in the Franco-Prussian War; and later that they were only one major victory away from breaking the will of the British and French like they did the Russian's. WW1 was basically winner take all. If you win, you get to break up your rival's empire. If you lose, your empire dies. So don't lose.
        Here, Russia's sphere of influence is at stake. They know they can't compete with China and will just become their b***h, so they make a mad dash for Ukraine and Moldovia before NATO can scoop them up. Either win or die, simple as.

        Unfortunately, Russia was basically too late. It collapsed 30 years ago and has just been a corrupt zombie potemkin state ever since.
