Neither of the above.

Stage One: Allied surprise attack on Russian troops.

Stage Two: Having driven the Russians back to the Ukraine, the winter sets in and the Russians push back.

Stage Three: With Russian troops pushing slowly towards Berlin, the Allies take their nukes and start lobbing it at Russia.

Stage Four: Russia collapses. Their armies, those NOT destroyed by nuclear fire, are captured or disbanded.
