Slight correction: 27 to 40 million soviets. Not just russians. Belarussia lost about 25% of its population. Ukraine was completely devastated by war and the Axis exporting ALL food. People had to resort to cannibalism. And yet, both were hotbeds of partisan activity. With most of the population being completely pro-USSR. Seeing the descedants of these heroes now turn to worship Nazi colaborators is just disgusting.
