Of course we have zero evidence now. Politics by definition cannot be a science because neutral point of view cannot exist simultaneously with "experiment". In this particular case, people silly enough to provide evidence were killed. Some as far as in Mexico.The historical record provides zero evidence of that sort of internal chaos or even the possibility of it. Even those who were irritated with Stalin by things like the famines surrounding collectivization showed absolutely no inclination to take him down via force or to bring back Trotsky and accepted Stalin as the legitimate leader of the Soviet Union in his capacity as General-Secretary. They believed in the system that Stalin ran, even if they didn't necessarily believe in Stalin, and would not have done something that would have threatened it's destruction. They would not have sanctioned the Great Purge (before they became victims too it, of course) had they thought otherwise.

please, reference your numbers. These sounds really strange to absurd.No it wasn't? Even today, rail transport is a major feature of Russia and in 1941 it was even more so: 90 percent of Soviet cargo in 1941 went by rail transportation. Road transport constituted a mere 1.8 percent.
