In a few words there were no experienced officers to command the Soviet soldiers during well known war against Finland.
I'm accustomed to referring to Soviet/USSR as Russian, but you're correct..

I'm very into this particular war as well as all the battles in Stalingrad. I collect Finnish and Soviet militaria so couldn't resist mentioning Finland
