From the Soviet forces around Riga you would think that the only way the 8th would be surviving would be if they had joined common cause with the rebelious Soviet division. There are three divisions in the area and one is pretty strong.
Course we dont know the size of one of them because while its mentioned in the beginning of the Soviet Vehicle Guide its not detailed later on.
Also it says they are in cantonments in and around Riga. However Riga was nuked pretty heavily (at least one Russian division was destroyed by the nuke attack). The ruins of that city might still be pretty hot to be around for any length of time.
