Nobody ever asked the question:
Did Stalin modify the weather to freeze Hitler's army to death ?!
Stalin and his people sure modified the shit out of the ground/earth, who knows what they did to the air.................
Let this be a warning to Nato.
Perhaps Russia has top secret weather modification chemicals !
You've been warned !

I remember from history lessons in primary school how the
Russians dealt with invasions on their territory by scorched
earth tactics. I did not, at the time, realize what this
must have meant for the populations of those territories.
Anyway, those tactics no longer work. Drones and ICBMs don't
care about scorched earth, nor for the weather, for that matter.

That's just the way Russia's always been. Extreme brutality seems to
be a national character trait. If you're going to pick a fight with
Russia, you can't afford to lose or there'll be *hell* to pay.
There is no such thing as "a national character trait".

There is more to it. The German army was not trained for this

Sniping at -40C is something special.
The main problem Paulus had, was the discussion at the main staff with >Hitler, where they dare not speak of realistic problems with supplies.

Damned idiot had 600,000 infantry troops walking into Russia on foot. Germany didn't have enough transport for them all, despite stealing hundreds of thousands of vehicles from their earlier conquests in France and the Sudetenland, and the low countries.

Stuff and nonsense, Bill. Everyone with any sense knows there's some
substance to national stereotypes. I'll grant you there are always
exceptions, but as a rule, you'll find the Irish are drunks, Armenians
are dishonest, Australians are ignorant and rude, Germans are
hard-working but ill-tempered, the French are haughty and conceited,
the English are kind-hearted and generous, Africans are savages,
Canadians are desperately dull, the Swiss are punctual and meticulous;
the Chinese are beastly towards animals. It's only the blinkered
hoards of woke Lefties that deny these differences and constantly
insist that everyone's the same. All the same! What a preposterous
notion!
That really is stuff and nonsense. Nobody with any sense insists that "people are all the same".
The actual formulation is that everybody is different, and that every nation has a similar proportion of drunks, crooks, rude people, ignorant people and so forth.
The variation within nationalities is much larger than the variation - if any - between nationalities.
All of those platitudes are self-serving nonsense. Nobody who has ever lived in England would catagorise the English as kind-hearted or generous - quite a few of them are, but no more that in any other place I've lived. What I noticed was that a lot of

You do love to argue, even when you're making yourself look daft by
citing some pulp Sci-Fi authors.
The Strugatsky brothers didn't write "pulp science fiction" - they were more in the Larry Niven, Arthur C Clarke and Neal Stephenson league.
Most of us grew out of SF by the time we discovered what our dicks were for. Seems you didn't!
A lot of science fiction is written for adolescents - I never though much of the stuff that was written for that market.
One of the other Russian science fiction authors I've read is

who exemplifies the satirical aspect of the genre, which you don't seem to be aware of.
