Not Leningrad or Babi Yar or Sevastopol? Those are all Sophomore year type events…

I mean, Russia eventually industrialized in an effective way, but most of the war up to 1943 was Russia utilizing their one strategic advantage against the German onslaught, that advantage being: A superior number of persons to chew up German ammunition.
