Soviet Strategic Planning: Strategy, Doctrine, and Power
Soviet strategic planning was decisive on the Eastern Front, where military survival depended on coordinating vast resources, industrial production, intelligence, and troop movements. Facing the German invasion in 1941, Soviet leaders transformed initial crisis into a sustained system of wartime mobilization.
This planning evolved through costly defeats, operational reforms, and increasingly effective cooperation between political authorities and military commanders. Its influence shaped major turning points, including the defense of Moscow, the Battle of Stalingrad, and the Red Army’s advance toward Berlin.
