Well, there was a sort of dissent among the military after they have seen the West although the steam was kept for a while and finally escaped through Khruschev’s de-Stalinisation.
It is not unparalleled in Russian history. Similar dissent took place in 1820s following Russian repelling of Napoleonic troops and the invasion of France.
There is a nice new movie by 20th Centry Fox: ‘The Union of Salvation’ on this although I have no idea would they release it outside Eastern Europe or not:

Thank you Norse!
I remember the scene in “Enemy At The Gates” with the NKVD officers armed with SMGs and a wheeled MG, shooting their own people.
You’d think there’d be a point where the troops would have said “You bastards have to sleep somewhere, sometime...”
