Well the European Russia is part of Russia with most dense population and with most dense infrastructure. Somewhere in Ciberia the Germans could control ENTIRE territory by controlling main cities/towns and few communications, but not Western part. They won't have manpower enough, especially, if war in Italy and/or Normandy breaks out and manpower is more needed there.
And history shows, that even if Germans had `enough man for it`, they weren't able to control their occupied territories properly.
