> And if you know your history you'd know that Russia had to pull out of WWI because the country literally ran out of men during the conflict.
replyRussia continued WW1 with a civil war that lasted until 1922. Their military deaths were quite evenly split between the world war stage and the civil war stage.
Literally everything you’ve stated is false. Every statement.
replyA) Lots of Russians died during WW2, it wasn’t “evil Russia sends troops from occupied republics to fight for them while Russians sit back”.
B) Lots of mercenaries from post-Soviet republics fight for money on Russias side now
C) Russia didn’t pull out because they’ve run out of men. Where did you get this?
Of course many Russians died too. But the bulk of the casualties were Soviet soldiers from the Asian republics.
replyThere are a couple of good WWI documentaries on YouTube which you can watch for free. You'll find that C) is the truth.
> because the country literally ran out of men during the conflict
replyI wonder where then the millions of soldiers that fought the russian civil war came from.
