I read some years ago a biography of Stalin which described an incident where, during the German advance into the USSR, Stalin summoned a high Communist Party official to send him to the oil fields with instructions to destroy them rather than let them fall into German hands.

But Stalin warned the official — If one tonne of oil falls into German hands, we will shoot you; and if the USSR loses one tonne of oil because you destroyed the wells prematurely, we will shoot you.

Now there was a motivating message!
