The First Battles of the Russian Army

The first levy of soldiers called up to fight in the initial battles mostly peasants who could barely articulate why they were fighting a war in the first place. The pan slavic commitment to the serbs turned out to be an obsession mostly centered among the intellectuals and journalists. One general set out on the front that everything was order, counter order and disorder. And through all o this, only a few senior commanders even grasped the reality of the war they were supposedly leading.
