Not-So-Fun-Fact! Around half of Soviet irrecoverable losses happened in the last few months of 1941, when the Nazis broke their alliance of convenience with the USSR and invaded, and 1942.
After that, casualty ratios were lopsided in favor of the USSR.
Almost like the initial state of the Soviet military was a wholly avoidable condition imposed by a dictator for his own safety, not the polity’s.

I mean, at least they learned from it. It’s not like Russia has been keeping an absolutely gigantic part of their military purely as a palace guard to soothe the leaders somewhat justified paranoia about a coup. Right?
