What was it like to fight in the Soviet admt during WW2?

by TheInternetKnight

I often hear many different accounts. Some saying it was a complete hell and others saying it was like fighting for any other army. A few specifics were how brutal was the Soviet Army? Was the average soldier treated well and put into less deadly strategies or was it how it was depicted in popular media? (*Soviet Army for title. Sorry I am tired)

I will hopefully have time tonight or tomorrow to answer more fully, but in the meantime this past answer by /u/georgy_k_zhukov will at least start to fill things in for you.
