Can't be bothered to find the links right now, but through Reddit you see rumours of Russian recruits being sent straight to the front without training at all, just those couple of days worth of formailites and transport. Apparently some are handling artillery equipment for the first time right there on the battle field. But again, unconfirmed rumours.
EDIT: I don't see how you can improve upon that to the point where you are sending out an army of mean fighting machines in 5 months time.
