But just for sake of rushing sending your soldiers without proper winter equipment and a doctrine heavily relies on non-winter warfare is grave mistake as we seen.

>However if we assume that Stalin would have attack soon
Soldiers on german border were very disorganized. Plus soviets during that time (correct me if I'm wrong about this) still didn't know japanese wouldnt attack unless germans take moscow, so there is no huge amount of soldier redeployment as we expect from possible mass assault. So yeah, soviets were also cautious and stalin was aware of huge proper officer gap due to infamous purges.
