Quite the contrary - I think they should said its been a total success and withdraw, then hold a big victory parade in Red Square. They must have a few T55s still left in storage they could drag across the parade space, and some An2s for the flypast.
Honestly, their population would believe any yarn the regime spins, however fanciful, especially if it meant they could avoid conscription.
