Read anything about the battle of stalingrad , they just never gave up

Add this generic never say die nature to corruption and lawlessness and you have got a lethal cocktail

Previous Russian leaders and Putin keep a lid on things but putin likes to keep his hand in shall we say
The battle of Stalingrad was a remarkable feat of endurance by the Russians. But again, mistakes were made by Hitler. It's frightening to think what could have happened and how quickly it could have happened if Hitler was a competent strategist.
