Yeah.....and we lost over 625K during the civil war with only a population of 31 million.....

Statistics......so what is your point...Russians are worse in combat, or better at it....

Or is it that a lot of Russians died for their country when the objective of war is to make the guy on the other side die for his.

you can't compare the number of people dead -- to the Soviets their men were cannon fodder.

they didn't care how many died.

Read also about Bolshevik tactics in the Russian Civil war. The same treatment of soldiers as cannon fodder
