I think the series suffers from the lack of a Soviet higher-up POV. Either Stalin himself, or one of his inner circle, just like Molotov was a leading POV in Worldwar.

I don't object to a large part of HT's stories being set in the 1930s-40s-50s so much as that there are too many interchangeable combat scenes. It might be nice to see a council of higher-ups plotting strategy, or a James Bond (or even George Smiley) type of spy either rooting out a mole from his own side or implanting his own mole in the other side.
