I think the story deliberately skips around a general timeline, from the start of Operation Barbarossa to after Operation Bagration (where Russia pushes back the German army and reclaims territories lost, like Ukraine).
As for Vasenka's hair, it's red (I suppose it's to highlight her being touched by the supernatural -- legends of changelings and all that). Given the fact that she's apparently Baba Yaga's apprentice, there's likely more to it though.
