#1 I believe this 'uprising' are classic Soviet-style diversionary operations, masking other activities.

Think about it. A former military trained by the Soviets who probably told them proudly about how rear area 'partisans' were used to disrupt enemy rear areas. In some cases those operations were used to mask insertion (or extraction) of NKVD agents as well as disrupt enemy supply operations in anticipation of renewed offensive operations.

Our media loves to talk about those romantic resistance 'movements' and 'uprisings' nearly in every case failing to understand these human events are rarely spontaneous; they carry with them much more practical and military reasons for being.

Just my opinion.
