Helping The Soviets

[Shad]

Not much of a bonus but it would add to their own national characteristic and kind of give them that odd bit of fanatacism (eagerness to rally to the cause) beyond that of other nationalities ?

Leaving aside the impact on the game for a moment, I must ask: were they eager to rally to the cause?

This is a topic I know very little about. What historical basis would this have for Soviets and not, say, for Japanese or Gurkha or whathaveyou?

My gut reaction is that very few of them were eager to rally for anything, but we can safely assume this view is heavily biased by years of Western anti-Communist propaganda
