Here is the rule itself:

The Soviet player may make a number of activations for tank units for combat movement or to initiate assault equal to the number of tank leaders that they have. Each such activation must consist of no more than a single hex and the surrounding six hexes. There is no limit to the number of noncombat moves or fire activations not involving the initiation of assault. Tank leaders may become casualties. Each time a tank step is lost roll one die. On a roll of six reduce the number of tank leaders by one. If multiple tanks steps are lost in a single combat roll once for each tank step lost.

Experienced players will note that this provides an increased tank management capability for the Soviet player. This is intentional and represents the level of training provided to these units prior to Barbarossa.
