Maskirovka
The
Soviet military doctrine of
maskirovka was developed in the 1920s, and used by
Zhukov in the 1939
Battles of Khalkhin Gol against Japan. For example the
Field Regulations of the Red Army (1929) stated that "Surprise has a stunning effect on the enemy. For this reason all troop operations must be accomplished with the greatest concealment and speed." Concealment was to be attained by confusing the enemy with movements, camouflage and use of terrain, speed, use of night and fog, and secrecy
