''Despite the best efforts of the Red Army to stop the invasion with counterattacks sent at every available moment, they weren't able to contain the Axis Forces on mostly all the fronts. Major cities as Kiev, Minsk and Leningrad fell to the Axis Powers, and the Red Army was in total retreat towards the east. Moscow fell to the Germans on 25th December 1941 and Bukharin was ousted by Stalin in a coup. Despite Stalin's attempts to maintain cohesion within the Union and prepare for a possible counterattack, this coup marked the dissolution of the Soviet Union, plunging it into chaos and anarchy.''

''Soon after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Axis Powers managed to reach the A-A line without any major resistance. Despite the dissolution of the Soviet Union at the end of 1941, remaining Red Army Divisions and partisans refused to surrender and kept fighting against the Germans, even after the conclusion of the Second World War, the best example of this continued struggle is the [[West Russian War]].''
