They much prefer to attribute their victories to wily, resourceful strategists like Zhukov.<br /><br />I doubt that Russia could ever be completely conquered. The emperor, or President, could fall back, back, back to Siberia and bide his time there, or draw the enemy further and further in...while dispatching partisans to attack his dwindling supply <br />lines. <br /><br />I would always advise against trying. Russia is a graveyard for mischiefmakers and conquerors.movillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14676360771674176743noreply@blogger.com
