Instead of fighting and having big battles with the Germans, the Russians retreated and lured the enemy far inside their country. The Russians used a strategy, like that used against Napoleon, which left the invading troops with nothing to eat. They left nothing behind, burned crops, killed or took animals with themselves. It is called "the scorched earth policy"

Germany broke their nonaggression pact with the USSR and invaded them and made it all the way to Moscow, only to find it in flames. The harsh Russian winter set in and the Germans were forced to retreat. The Russians, much more accustomed to their harsh winter, fought the Germans, all the way back to Berlin.
