Yeah, that’s the numbers. But I mean the people themselves. Hauled off to a front where their equivalent number and more die every month to the tune of a modest village-worth every month. Are the Russian people so defeated and/or ignorant that they just turn a blind eye and wait for the press gang to take the men in their village?
Pretty much. The soviets have systematically cultivated political apathy and pootler has brought it to the next level. Imagine having access to millions of bodies and nobody cares when you expend a million or two. That's dictator's wet dream.
Not just Russian people, plenty of gloating Europeans about the good life in Moscow
People in Moscow don’t care about the peasants.
