Loss of life
15.11.1. 2003.novayagazeta.ru/nomer/2003/32n/n32n-s00.shtml ZEELOVSKY HEIGHTS: THE VICTORY THAT WE HAVE SUFFERED Losses in the Berlin operation (April 16 - May 8) amounted to 361,367 people killed and wounded. And the average daily losses (15,712 people) are the highest among all the offensive operations of the Second World War. For comparison: near Moscow they were equal to 10,910 people; at Stalingrad - 6392; on the Kursk Bulge - 11 313; in Belarus - 11 262.15.11.2. www.inosmi.ru/stories/05/04/14/3445/219630.html InoSMI.Ru | How to come to terms with the nightmare of Russia's past? On the part of the Soviet Union, 27 million military and civilians died during the war - many times more than in the West. Germany, on the western front, lost only 200 thousand soldiers, while on the eastern front, four million. In the eleven months from the Allied landings in Normandy to the surrender of Germany, 110,000 American soldiers were killed. During the same time, the Soviet Union lost 500 thousand people. For desertion in the German army, about 15 thousand soldiers were shot, in the Soviet - about 20 thousand, 12 thousand of them only in Stalingrad. In the armies of Western countries, there were practically no such cases. It was not for nothing that Stalin once said that Great Britain invested time in the victory over Nazism, America - money, and Russia - the blood of its citizens. 15.11.3. http://www.kubanmemo.ru/library/Kropachev01/evolution.php - Irrecoverable losses of personnel of the Red Army, the Navy, border and internal troops - 11444.1 thousand people140. - On the territory occupied by the Nazis, 9,987.0 thousand civilians were destroyed and shot141. - Of the 5.3 million civilians who were forcibly taken to work in Germany, 2.2 million people died142. - 4.1 million civilians died from hunger, disease, backbreaking work and other cruel influences of the occupation regime143. - 451 thousand people became emigrants from the number of Ostarbeiters144. - In 1941-1945. in the USSR, more than 1 million prisoners died (of which more than 620 thousand were in the gulag camps) 145. - In special settlements and in exile in 1940-1952. almost 0.5 million of the deported died, most of whom fell on the war years146. - For political reasons in 1941-1945. 476,615 people were convicted, of whom 42,149 were shot147. The result is 29,724,249 people. This does not include hundreds of thousands of civilians killed as a result of hostilities, bombings, artillery shelling, as well as in besieged and besieged cities148, as well as the dead partisans and underground fighters. Of course, this figure does not pretend to anything, it is only necessary to demonstrate certain trends. The fewer secrets, "closed zones" there are, the faster the number of military losses of the USSR will come closer to the truth. A. N. Yakovlev in the above-mentioned interview asserted that the USSR in 1941-1945 lost "more than 30 million" 149. Apparently, the true scale of losses should be specified in the range from 30 million to 35 million people. 15.11.3.1. http://www.novayagazeta.ru/data/2009/046/00.html "Only criminals could litter their people like that!" Letters from Viktor Astafyev about the war, Stalin and Zhukov, "the general's truth", shouts of "hurray", unburied heroes and how Alexander Matrosov actually died. And by the way, the one who "gets to Zhukov" will be a true Russian writer, not an "heir". Oh, what a "father and teacher" foster-child this is! What a poacher of the Russian people. He, he and Comrade Stalin burned the Russian people and Russia in the fire of war. It is with this grave accusation that we need to start talking about the war, then it will be true, but we will not live to see it. Our strength, our intelligence and courage are not enough to talk about the tragedy of our people, including about the war, the whole truth, and if not all, then at least the main part of it. 15.11.3.1.1. http: / /militera.lib.ru/research/suvorov7/index.html In his new study, the author, completely rejecting his own past assessments of the marshal, "in paragraphs" debunks the myth of an unbending wise commander who loves his soldiers and his beloved soldiers. Before us is building a picture of a ruthless Soviet leader who drowned the enemy in rivers of blood of his own soldiers ... 15.11.3.1.2. http://x-files.org.ua/articles.php?article_id=492 Soviet front-line soldiers knew: if Zhukov showed up on the front sector - wait for an offensive and senseless victims. One of the main methods of disciplinary action on the soldiers was shooting. Over the years of the war, the red commanders "put up against the wall" more than 300 thousand soldiers. Already in peacetime, being the Minister of Defense, Zhukov sent an army of forty thousand to certain death. On September 14, 1954, at the Totsk training ground near Orenburg, an "outstanding military leader" ordered to test the effects of an atomic bomb on living soldiers. In the book Operation Thunderstorm, historian Igor Bunich describes this terrible crime as follows: “Out of 40 thousand servicemen thrown into the test site, 30 thousand quickly died from burns and radiation, 10 thousand became disabled. .. "Two years later, Zhukov led a punitive operation aimed at the armed suppression of the anti-communist uprising of the Hungarian people. For this" unparalleled feat "the marshal was awarded unprecedented mercy, having received from Khrushchev the fourth star of the Hero of the Soviet Union. 15.11.4. Http: //www.regnum. ru / news / society / 824874.html We paid a really high price for the victory. Blood shed in Ukraine for over 40 months. The war destroyed cities to the ground, destroyed villages. The war claimed almost 10 million lives, "the President of Ukraine noted. In addition, Yushchenko recalled that "7 million Ukrainians perished at the fronts, in partisan detachments, underground, Gestapo torture chambers, over 2 million were taken to Germany. 100 thousand became victims of repressions that did not end after the war ..." 15.11.5 ... stalinism.ru/repressii/pravda_i_lozh_o_sovetski ... Stalin: time, people, Empire - Truth and lies about Soviet prisoners of war The final results of checking Soviet prisoners of war and civilians released after the war are as follows. By March 1, 1946, 4,199,488 Soviet citizens were repatriated (2,660,013 civilians and 1,539,475 prisoners of war), of which 1,846,802 came from the zones of operation of Soviet troops abroad and 2,352,686 were received from the Anglo-Americans and arrived from other countries15.

In particular, sanitary losses were very high: in total, 3.8 million people were demobilized from the army and navy during the war due to injury or illness, of which 2.56 million became disabled. 15.11.6.1. http://gidepark.ru/post/article/index/id/45390 USSR: attitude towards its soldiers who fell into captivity "On the basis of German documents .... Between June 22, 1941 and the end of the war, about 5 7 million Red Army soldiers, of whom 930,000 were still in German camps by the beginning of 1945. A maximum of one million were released from captivity - most as so-called "volunteers" for the (often forced) auxiliary service in the Wehrmacht. 500,000 people ... escaped from captivity or were freed by the Red Army. The rest of the prisoners in the amount of about 3,300,000 people (i.e. 57.7% of the total) died. For comparison, it can be indicated that out of 232,000 British and American soldiers who were in the hands of the Germans, 8348 (i.e. 3.5%) died before the end of the war. Of the 3,155,000 German prisoners in the Soviet Union, according to one commission of German historians, about 1,185,000 people died ( ,5%). .... ... by the end of 1941, there were almost 3.5 million prisoners of the Soviet Red Army ... 15.11.6.2. http://www.mailpresident.ru/node/7851 Boarding homes for invalids of the Great Patriotic War The statistical study "RUSSIA AND THE USSR IN THE WARS OF THE XX CENTURY. LOSSES OF THE ARMED FORCES" provides data on the departure of servicemen from the armed forces during the Second World War : Demobilized due to injury, illness, age of 3 798 200 people. Of these, 2,576,000 people became disabled. “After the war, Soviet cities were flooded with people who were lucky enough to survive at the front, but who lost their arms and legs in the battles for the Motherland. Once Soviet citizens woke up and did not hear the usual rumble of carts and the creak of prostheses. Disabled people were immediately removed from the cities. Not all without limbs were exiled without hands, but those who were begging, begging for alms, had no housing. There were hundreds of thousands of them who had lost their families. , housing, useless to anyone, without money, but hung with awards. They were collected overnight in all cities with special police and state security outfits, taken to railway stations, loaded into heat exchangers of the ZK type and sent to boarding houses - on Valaam, near Kharkov to the village of Vysoky, in Strelechye, near Bakhchisarai, in Omsk, in Barnaul, on Sakhalin and in Armenia, etc. - the whole country, like a network, was but covered with similar boarding schools. Their passports and soldier's books were taken away - in fact, they were transferred to the status of the ZK. And the boarding schools themselves were in the police department. 15.11.7. http://www.genstab.ru/kia39-45.htm Human losses of the USSR and Germany in World War II * (thousand people). 
* For the USSR - within the borders as of June 22, 1941, for Germany - and the borders as of September 1, 1939, with the inclusion of Austria and the protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. ** For Germany - in the period up to April 30, 1945 11/15/7. http://www.webknow.ru/istorija_03712_3.html During the Second World War, in which 61 states participated, more than 50 million people were killed, 11 million were killed in Nazi concentration camps, 95 million became disabled. The main burden of the war was borne on its shoulders by the Soviet Union, which for 4 years waged the Great Patriotic War, which cost (according to unspecified data) 30 million lives of its citizens. The Soviet Union played a decisive role in the defeat of the fascist military machine, and with it one of the most reactionary and aggressive states in human history claiming world domination. 15.11.8. http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Losses_in_World_Second_WorldWarLosses in World War II * 
The total losses of all countries participating in the Second World War. In June 1941, the population of the USSR was 196,716,000 inhabitants. * The list of the belligerent countries is abbreviated by the compiler of the Internet survey 15.11.9. http://www.agitclub.ru/gorby/ussr/blackbook1.htm Bolshevism must not escape responsibility for the mediocre conduct of the war against Hitler's fascism, especially at its initial stage, when the entire regular army, which was in the western regions of the country, was captured or destroyed. And only a wall of 30 million dead blocked the country from foreign enslavement. Bolshevism must not evade responsibility for crimes against former Soviet prisoners of war who were driven from German concentration camps like cattle to Soviet prisons and camps. Almost all the largest construction projects in the USSR are on the bones of political prisoners. They built chemical plants, uranium mines, northern settlements and much more. 15.11.10. http://www.coldwar.ru/churchill/fulton.php Churchill's Fulton speech Until 1933 or even 1935, Germany could have been saved from the terrible fate that befell her, and we would have been spared the misfortunes that Hitler brought down to humanity. Never before in history has there been a war that was easier to prevent by timely action than one that has just ravaged vast areas of the globe. It, I am convinced, could have been prevented without firing a single shot, and today Germany would be a powerful, prosperous and respected country; but then they did not want to listen to me, and one by one we found ourselves drawn into a terrible tornado. We must not let this happen again.
