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 :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Front_(World_War_II)

 

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 

1. How the sent troops shows you the 'bad k/d ratio'?
2. You also forgetting about German allies losses. Everybody forgets that USSR was fighting now only with German during WW2. It was also Italy, Spain, French etc etc, in fact USSR was in a war against the whole United Europe (except UK).
