Wow thanks, I didn't remember that.
I just calculated the average to 870, so it's definitely a lot above average.
My calculation is 4 years and 1½ month = 1505 days with 1310110 casualties = 870 casualties per day. Not exact but should be close enough with an error margin of 2 or 3 at most.

They are devoted to their grand imperator and oligarchs. They were cultivated to be obedient sheep and do whatever they told to do. So unless the hard reality hit them hard enough in a face, they will not change.

A lot of analysts talk about a social contract between the corrupt leadership and common people. That as long as the corrupt regime provides prosperity, the people is OK with not meddling in politics.

The same analysts say that Putin has broken that contract with this war, and Russia has had successful revolutions at least 2 times before, turning over the Tzar and later turning over the communist regime. So the people are not unfamiliar with revolutions.

I hope so, since Putin clearly is an enemy for his own country.

He absolutely is, and I doubt the Russians are aware how much harm he did even before the war.

Heard that Russians gotta do the ritual sacrifices to make, something like that. I hope this system of killing them in these numbers is at least semi-automated. Would be great to have some computer-game like towers in survivorship games.
