I thank the Lord that we did not experience what the Russians did. Had we lost 20 million soldiers/civilians killed I am not sure we would have recovered.
My sense is that Russian demographics are so bad today due to the fact that they lost so many people during the war.

Russian demographics are bad today because of low birth rate.
70 years ago is a long time.
That does not reduce the shocking numbers: 20 million dead from the Great Terror, 35 million from the Soviet side in WWII.
