But the Red Army was also on its heels. Political purges in the 1930s replaced competent officers with party hacks. The military was poorly trained and ill-prepared for the onslaught to come. Uh, does this sound at all familiar?

One of the greatest intelligence coups of the Nazis was to have the Russians “find” a list of “compromised” Soviet officers a short time before Germany invaded.
Stalin had most of his senior army officers executed not long before the invasion.
