Skill issue. I would have simply engaged them in the marketplace of ideas.

Should've dug tunnels all the way from Moscow to the western front, jumped out in Paris VietCong-style, and pincered them. Nazis would never expect them to do that.
That's real strategy. Better luck next time, USSR.

this but unironically
preemptively invading europe so they can't do shenanigans later is always a good idea
It has multiple benefits. Haha
Teleports behind you
Извини товарищ, ничего личного.
The Soviets invading and conquering America so they could attack the Nazis from the least expected direction.
Strike them at the heart.
The smart thing would obviously have been to sit on the sidelines until the enemies wore themselves out fighting others, maybe send material support to the side that seemed to be losing so as many as possible are killed, then in 1944 you swoop in and reap the benefits of victory. That's what the Soviets shoulda done.
Seen this argued unironically. You see, the soviets didn’t protect their industrial base as opposed to the US. Not being across an entire ocean against an enemy that has no real way to project naval power is a classic tactical blunder.
They coulda just dug a giant moat on their Western front. What? Could the USSR not figure out "shovel technology?" 
That’s eerily similar to what this other US something nation did…
Just keep retreating East till you loop around and are at Berlin
Retreat East via North America
By the time the Nazis reach Moscow Stalin will have taken Toronto!
:sicko-wistful:
And then keep going
Don't siege Konigsberg (take it immediately)
oh i remember that post 
yeah just take things, just roll up all your little guys and just walk in. none of this siege business
Don't lose (just win)
Just breach and assault.
Ally with the Slavs to defeat the ~~commies~~ Nazis.
I would've simply done the soviet counter offensive before Stalingrad.
The funny thing is the Soviets DID try to attack the western front, by asking the British and Americans to enter the war as a second front against fascism. They were told to pound sand until D-Day.
Just like how Germany circumvented the heavily fortified border with France by going around. Through the Low Countries! Because surely no civilized nation would violate Belgian neutrality.
