  1. These numbers are utter madness, a reminder that the Soviets fled Afghanistan after around 50,000 casulties (killed and wounded)

  2. those 1.1 Million people could’ve rebuild rome and then some

  3. That’s horrible. Same goes for ukrainian casualties of course.

  5. Reminder that casualties mean wounded and dead. Wounded can return to the front lines(depending on the injuries). Having said that, it is still huge

  6. Alcoholic inexperienced soldiers needn’t die, they should’ve gone to the Kremlin, would’ve lived longer

  7. Russia set the bar at nearly 9 million in WW2. They probably think 1.1 million over 3 years is okay

  8. Imagine how much good stuff you can do having 1.1 million people doing whatever you tell them for 4 years. But Putin tried to become remembered in books as a tzar.

  10. That’s a lot of men that won’t be getting women pregnant. Russia’s population decline is going to accelerate in the coming years.

  11. Doesn’t Russia have an extremely aging population, with a massive gap in the workforce? I’m sure I read about it a few years back, how its population was a ticking time bomb, & there wasn’t enough people to fill in for those retiring, & thus less taxes & labour available, let alone funding for elderly care. Surely this war has worsened the issue catastrophically.

  14. 10% of World War 1 deaths (2.5% of WW1 casualties) and that involved dozens of countries dropping everything that they had to fight to the death.

  15. “The update, which draws on Ukrainian General Staff reporting…”

    So.. propaganda?

  16. What’s 1.1m men compared to Putin remaining the don of the russian mafia state?

    Surely russians will agree it’s a price worth paying.

  17. Putin really stepped into some shit. He holds power because of an image of being a ‘strongman’ dictator. If he backs out of Ukraine he will be at risk of a coup. But continuing with this madness risks revolt.

  20. They still have millions more poor ethnic minorities to sacrifice…

  21. A good friend of mine is a Russian expat (very anti putin) last year he had to sneak back into the country to see his father, who is dying. He was terrified the whole time that he’d get picked up and conscripted.

  22. Yes. That means KIA number, especially with the way they’ve been conducting attack ops, is probably at least 250 – 300k.
    That’s madness, total insanity. With all of the equipment and infrastructure having been destroyed in WW2 quantities, all of the invalids and veterans suffering from ptsd roaming the streets, plus their economy finally feeling the bite of the sanctions heavily, it is all a recipe for a complete disaster.
    It’ll take generations to recover from this – sometime in the 2nd half of this century. Providing they stop the madness and turn their policy 180° immediately. Otherwise…who the f knows, but I care more about the rebuilding of Ukraine anyway. Ukraine has around 80k KIAs among the troops but additionally so many more among the civilians.

    And to think that all of this brutality took place because one very sick man in Kremlin has been pathologically insecure about his authoritarian regime’s staying power.

  23. That is a sacrifice Putin and the Kremlin are willing to make.

  24. All for one old mans idea of his legacy before he dies.

  25. Assuming this number is accurate, we are a truly mind boggling comparison.

    Before now, the only real way to quantify Russia’s losses was comparing it to every war the US has fought since WW2: Korea, ‘Nam, the Gulf War, the GWOT and everything in-between.

    But how many is 1.1 million casualties? Give or take, that’s as many as the U.S sustained IN WORLD WAR II. From Pearl Harbour to VJ Day, nearly four years of constant fighting against two of the world’s most powerful militaries, and Russia has lost that in a little over 3 and a half years against a country every wrote off.

  27. And we helped 🙂 not a dam thing the Russians can do about it, just cry.

  28. But I thought that Russia was winning the war in Ukraine. It turns out it’s not.

  29. Trouble is, the Russian state’s war-game, doesn’t see 1 million (out of 67 million men) as a big number; it’s 10 times less than those who died in WW2 If anything, the ‘meat-grinder’ approach is for Putin almost a necessity towards his eulogizing of Peter The Great’s 17th century campaigns. An ex-KGB agent dreaming of a failed Soviet legacy, inspired by a Romanov Tsar…there is no making sense of it. He won’t stop. And the Russian people, never knowing anything but the yolk of autocracy, have no alternative reality in which a Putin figure doesn’t exist; how can you really want something you’ve never experienced?!

  30. r/Europe need to get a grip; vova doesn’t care, and as long as he doesn’t do another mobilization ( big mistake ), russian civil society won’t either.

  31. Oligarchies and kleptocracies have a major problem: too many men! The oligarchs and rich men take all the women, leaving a gigantic population of men without. This *always* causes unrest, which is bad for the oligarchs. So, they always need a way to occupy (and do away with) all these poor men.

    Putin *wants* all these men gone.

    He also doesn’t want to pay for all the disabled, sick, etc… So, it’s not surprising that he’s forming battalions of those men – and sending them to the front – as well. He wants all these men dead and gone.

  32. I want to see actual data. Is there any publicly available data?

  33. Another population dip for Russia to chart over the decades.

  34. I am only guessing but I think most Russians tankers are among the dead.

  35. Over a million+ people have died for no reason. Crazy Russians haven’t overthrown their government yet. But I guess If you can send a million people to go died in a war with zero cause you can do whatever you want without fear of retaliation or resistance.

  37. And how many more until the Russian population stops supporting their invasion?

  38. How is possible that 1.1m families don’t do anything for their Deceased?

  39. And Putin, like Stalin before him, couldn’t give a shit.

  40. >The update, which draws on Ukrainian General Staff reporting,….

    Very reliable and trustworthy source.

  42. Brits reporting from Ukraine stats on a pop up laden site.

    Reddit: this is gospel

  43. It’s time we face the immaturity of our civilization. The economic disparity between the rich and the poor is so stark and damning that it demands our attention.

    All billionaires must be removed from power. Every seat, every home, every nation. These individuals and ultra-wealthy families do not serve the greater interests of an enlightened civilization, and it is time they are seen for what they are.

    Parasites. Abusers. Aggregators of Corruption.

    They must be done away with. Remove their wealth, remove their resources, take back the stolen land, and laugh in the face of anyone who suggests letting this corrupt temple remain standing.

    For humanity to rise to new heights, we must cut the counterweights. We must break free from the shackles of the ancient world, and cast down the systems which made this stinking corruption possible in the first place. Education must be taken seriously, unwholesome decadence must be tackled, and political corruption must be burned to ashes.

    Our path to a Golden Future of abundance and prosperity is non-negotiable. Therefore, anyones who attempts to block that path must be seen as the deceitful frauds they are. This unwelcome slime which covers every aspect of our society must be treated with the right medicine, and all the wealthiest people must now become the poorest. For their sake as well as ours.

    No More Billionaires.

  44. hm how about Ukrainian casualties? what 🇺🇦propaganda says about it?

  45. Staggering number for modern warfare.

    But look up casualties for WW1 or watch a video by Epic History TV

  46. When the game “Company of Heroes 2” came out, there was a lot of anger from the russians because it portrayed the soviet tactics as launching wave after wave of cannon fodder with total disregard for their own lives. Now we know that it was true (just look at soviet WWII casualties).
