here some truth about that. the myth have 2 origins: 1) during WW1, Russia did had huge shortage of arms and ammunition - not enough to equip mass mobilization, so during 1st year of war, these 1 rifle for 3 man was sort of real, until industry and logistics caught up. 2) now during German invasion of 1941, the regular army was well equipped, but hastily mobilized forces again fallen on logistical issues, and during defense of Moscow, REAL posters were put around city asking young men to sign up to the army, and "obtain rifle in battle". The weapons/ammo were available - they just were not where they were needed. Again logistics did caught up with actual needs in a few weeks. Here is a good source in Russian talking about details of the myth https://zen.yandex.ru/media/russian7...5a9503d91b3233
