Background of the Russian T-34 Tank: The T-34 was a Soviet medium tank produced from 1941 to 1958.  It is widely regarded to have been the world's best tank when the Soviet Union entered World War II, and although its armor and armament were surpassed by later tanks of the era, it is credited as the war's most effective, efficient and influential tank design.  First produced at the KhPZ factory in Kharkov (Kharkiv, Ukraine), it was the mainstay of Soviet armored forces throughout World War II, and widely exported afterwards.  It was the most-produced tank of the war, and the second most-produced tank of all time, after its successor, the T-54/55 series.  A 1996 publication showed that the T-34 was still in service with twenty-seven countries.  The design and construction of the tank were continuously refined during the war to improve effectiveness and decrease costs, allowing steadily greater numbers of tanks to be fielded.  In late 1943, the improved T-34-85 was introduced, with a more powerful 85 mm gun and a three-man turret design.  By the war's end in 1945, the versatile and cost-effective T-34 had replaced many light and heavy tanks in service, and accounted for the majority of Soviet tank production.  Its evolutionary development would lead directly to the T-54/55 series of tanks, built until 1981 and still operated today.
