......RUSSIA IS BIG! What started off as taking Karelina turned into a 15 YEAR campaign across the all of Russia to the borders of Sibera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A word of advice to those who play Sweden and seek to Tango with Russia.
Either commit all your time and energy to taking down Russia (Go On a Long Long Offensive) or just stick to Moscovy and Russia's western provinces (While you do not get the entire pie you are able to focus on other areas but you must keep large armies in those territories and St. Petersburg to defer any Russia attacks).

Due to my position as Sweden I was able to attack the capital regions in a short amount of time and distance. With that all Russia had was its outer provinces that were very very backward. It was also cut off from its principal ally.
After that it was a matter of splitting three armies:
A Small North Army to take the backwoods lightly defended regions.
A Large Southern Army to take Crimea and the Russian Caucusus.
A Medium Middle Army to go straight through the middle and take down the remaining provinces.
If so, do it in spring and summer then withdraw in winter as that is the BIG killer for napoleon and hitler
then again i dont know russian history, could have being done lots of times
