Additionally, a lot has changed since the article was published ( July).
Fun fact: the winter that Germany attacked the USSR, a lot of nazi's were 3 years on speed ( daily) and were having severe withdrawal symptoms.

I wouldn't attribute it too much on "Russian" experience. We have seen the contrary the last months and the indoctrination is probably similar now as then.
And the USSR wouldn't have survived without foreign aide ;). Eg. The lend and lease act that Ukraine has been given now.
Tbh. I'm a bit disappointed at giving another point of view. It's badly ( if even) researched.
I believe they discussed some cave art that was made by neanderthals in spain way before sapiens arrived in the area proving that it was their art instead of a just a mimic which seems to align with what this article was discussing.
