Russians are often accused of using human waves while attacking

When was this myth true? The Russians didn't fight Napolean this way. And neither the Germans nor Russians used human wave tactics in their bloody 1941-45 war. And Russia hasn't used any human wave tactics in Ukraine. They pound with artillery, or the employ the "meat grinder" as they call it.

Uhh, no. The Russians used human wave tactics during WW2 quite extensively.

The NKVD — an earlier name for the KGB — was hated by the Russian troops for lining up soldiers and requiring them to move forward. Behind tham were NKVD machine gunns to make sure that happened.

If you were a military prisoner for some conduct problem then you got to be a mine clearing meat machine. Lots faster than traditional methods.

Stalin was a murderous jerk.
