Sorry nerd, that was Trotsky that wanted that, and your boi put an icepick in his brain for being good at it.
Love Trotsky and hate how they did him after all he did for the revolution, but Trotskyists annoy the fuck out of me.

He was that good! Also the Red Army actually captured some tanks from Allied forces that were helping the Whites during the war.

Bonus fun fact: Three of the captured Mark Vs were recommissioned to defend Stalingrad
