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.

those figures are not deaths but troops present :

Total german military losses : 4.3 M to 5.5 - 75 - 80 % in the eastern front = 3.22 to 4.4 : 

Total Russian military losses : 8.7 M to 13.85 M
