A very different read is "Ivan's War: Life and Death In The Red Army, 1939-1945" by Catherine Merridale. Not only did they suffer to an incredible degree, at the hands of their own incompetent and cruel leaders as well as the Germans, but after the war they were repressed en masse and forced to conform to an impossibly heroic propaganda image.
