The Russian Front refers to the eastern theater of World War II, where the Soviet Union fought against Nazi Germany and its allies. This front was characterized by massive battles, including the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Kursk, which were pivotal in turning the tide of the war in favor of the Allies. The conflict on this front lasted from 1941 until 1945, resulting in significant military and civilian casualties. The Russian Front was marked by brutal warfare, including large-scale offensives and harsh conditions. The Soviet Red Army employed tactics such as encirclement and counteroffensives, ultimately pushing back German forces. The front played a crucial role in the eventual defeat of the Axis powers in Europe, leading to the liberation of many countries occupied by Germany.
