throughout history russians have been very submissive to their leadership and are accustomed to suffer, i don't see any other country that is capable of enduring such a bad k/d ratio as the one they had in the eastern front  :

(for every german killed russia would lose 3 soldiers)

Date	German forces	Soviet forces
June 1941	3,767,000 (900,000 in the west)	2,680,000 (in theater) 5,500,000 (overall) (~700,000 in Far East[33])
June 1942	3,720,000 (80% in the East)	5,313,000 (~700,000 in Far East[33])
July 1943	3,933,000 (63% in the East)	6,724,000 (~700,000 in Far East[33])
June 1944	3,370,000 (62% in the East)	6,425,000 (~700,000 in Far East[33])
Jan. 1945	2,330,000 (60% in the East)	6,532,000 (Soviet build up in Far East accelerated greatly since February[33])
Apr 1945	1,960,000	6,410,000

This is a bit offtopic. But this figures are cheaty.

Soldiers losses (deaths) for Russia in WW2 was 6,3 mln soldiers killed or dead because of military damage. 555 thous. dead from illnesses/accidents. 4.5 mln - who was taken by Germans and reported a missing person. 

Total losses of USSR in WW2 was 26.6 million people. Around 15 million people was killed by Germans on a nazi occupied territory.
