I think you should consider the build up of armies/navys on the 30s. Also some pretty quick runs into Fascism. Red army was taking tons of people for the meat grinder

compulsory military service when you're not in a time of war rarely exceeds 2 years. I haven't looked into it, were people who were drafted in Russia in 1932 still serving in 1939?
