During Operation Typhoon and the "great panic" of October 16th there were plans in place for Stalin to abandon Moscow. And at 9am that day Stalin had a meeting in which in apparently declared the government should leave Moscow that day and that he would follow the next day. It was his ministers that often held up Stalins resolve as at the suggestion Mikoyan stated why should he leave today if Stalin is leaving tomorrow. But it wasn't in the realms of madness for Stalin to think of leaving, the Germans were mere kilometres away and Moscow was in disarray.

He was asleep when the invasion started but was woken by a phone call from Zhukov then was back in Moscow by 4am. Molotov wasn't handed the declaration of war until 5am. On the 29th June he did retreat back Kuntsevo where he did not receive calls for a full 24 hours, as he was broken, before Molotov and others convinced him to come back. Then on 3rd July he made he first speech to the Soviet people. He had realised after the invasion that he had made several serious errors concerning his relationship with Hitler.

I feel like you could have Set the occupation law in turkey to no garrision to let resistance escalate and have it burn trough bulgarian guns, manpower and factories for repairs. It isnt exactly huge but i imagine every little bit helps, also some historical accurate scorched earth tactics Also as stupid as this might Sound, evcuating your industry to the ural via decisions might have been good

You do know that if you have divisions that are encircled that you don't think you can break out, you can disband them and get 20% of their manpower and equipment, meaning there's no point in letting the units fall unless you need army XP or need to force the enemy to waste time. Which is essentially trading manpower and equipment for time and army XP which isn't a good trade off in my opinion if you already have enough of them.

The equipment is lost, some MP is returned to the pool. But Russia has all the men she needs. I wanted to buy more time to redeploy instead
