metadata.value: The article is devoted to the analysis of the problem of readiness of the Red Army for war from the point
  of view of personnel of the command staff. The problem of contemporary perception of images of the Great Patriotic
  War has many facets and unconditional relevance, both for public thought and for science. One of the main
  stereotypes about the Great Patriotic War, launched in the mid-1950s and which is perhaps the most tenacious and influential both on public thought and on scientific searches and reasoning, was the idea of the problems
  of the Red Army in the early years of the war in connection with the destroyed command staff of the army. The
  problem of the quality of command personnel as of June 22, 1941 is linked to the repressions in the Red Army of
  1937–39, which destroyed the color of the army, the low level of the grown command staff and the small experience
  of this new command staff. These problems and their possible impact on the combat capability of the Red
  Army are analyzed in this article. The author considers the figures of repression in the Red Army 1937–39, losses
  among the command staff of the Red Army in the first months of the war, German losses, the reality of the correlation
  of losses and capabilities of the Red Army, analyzes historical sources and criticizes one-sided selection in
  support of ready-made opinion, the most popular in public consciousness. In favor of such conclusions are the
  losses of the Red Army and the Wehrmacht in the first six months of the war, the level of generals of the Red Army
  and data on the grassroots and medium command personnel.
