I don't understand how the casualties can be real. I'm a jaded American, and I just can't fathom Russian casualties being at a rate of nearly 200,000 a year. Slava Ukraini.

It just boggles the mind. Russian society will be haunted by this for generations.

Even if you halve this figure, it's double the losses the USA took in Vietnam, from a cohort of young men less than a third as large. By the war's end the impact on Russian society will be an order of magnitude larger.

It's more than the total combat losses of the US civil war for both union and confederate armies, but instead of 4 years it's been done in 1.5.

They're just something so hauntingly fucked about the term "liquidated personnel" and it makes me incredibly sad.
