No, the Red Army fought hard to keep control of western Russia and failed. It was the strategic fatuity of German war aims, after the failure in the west in 1940 that drove them to invade the USSR in 1941 and fail again. The revival of the Red Army in late 1941 and late 1942 was due to the strategic depth of the Soviet war economy, the willingness to fight of ordinary soldiers, the power of the Soviet regime and some British and US tanks.
