Out of the half a million troops killed I wonder how many were actually Russians? Doesn’t look like things are working out for them.

      It’s worth remembering that WW2 was an existential threat to the Soviet Union and most of the people living in it. This war isn’t. See how the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan turned out.

      And, of course, Ukraine was also part of the Soviet Union. Russians weren’t the only ones fighting the Nazis on the Eastern Front

      It’s there in their leaders, sure.

      I don’t believe the people see it the same way.

          I have. Did you not see there was an open armed rebellion in Russia? Granted it was the Wagner group but still, the people of Russia certainly didn’t stop them or unite against the rebellion.

          Of course not. They’re living in fear of their lives if they critisise the government.
