You really think the Soviets wanted to lose 20 million people to an invasion they otherwise could have halted? They were caught with their pants down. Their entire forward AF was destroyed on the ground. Had the Germans not turned south to capture a half of million Russian troops in the Kiev pocket, they probably would have taken Moscow. All that happened because of Stalin's policies and paranoia. The Russians were lucky they had ground to give but it certainly wasn't there plan.
