Unlike the filthy French who surrender when their capital is seized, the Russians have a modicum of pride. :putin:
@Olivia It's not Stalin :stalin:, it's just how Russians are.

In 1812, Napoleon actually managed to reach and take Moscow, only to find a burning heap of rubble.

The Russians did not hesitate to employ scorched earth strategy, even on their own capital.

Never surrender :faito: !!!
@diresock @Olivia That's how Soviets stopped the Nazi March through Russia.
No Army will survive behind enemy lines without food or water.

@TheMadPirate @diresock @Olivia It is said that if Napoleon had read about Hitler's March into Russia he'd never have attempted it.
