There is no reason Soviet Commanders would not bring the farm along with them.

If they come across at Nome, the main problem I'd see is that agriculture isn't feasible in that location due to permafrost. Even further south at Bethel the only local agriculture done there requires everything to be grown in raised containers, rather than in the soil.
Moving a major military force 800 kilometers through the Alaskan Bush is really no easy or modest undertaking at all, even in peacetime. And that's assuming nature is relatively benign and doesn't just kill some portion of your force in any number of ways, which nature in Alaska is prone to do (i.e. look at the losses both sides suffered during the Aleutian Campaign in WW2 -- storms and fog killed more than enemy action, and just the logistics of fighting on the island that was contested produced a casualty rate comparable to the worst campaigns in the Pacific, only most were environmental casualties rather than combat deaths/woundings).
