The last one, voiced in State Duma the death toll is 41 million 979 thousand people unprepared person causes consternation, and the anti-Sovietists are overjoyed, because they receive yet another confirmation of the mediocrity of the “cannibalistic Stalinist regime.” But if you turn on your brain and rely on the basic figures for the pre- and post-war population of the USSR, you can easily understand that these figures are a gigantic lie. Now I will illustrate this.
From my first topic, exposing the new figure of losses of 42 million people who came from nowhere, a continuation logically follows with a calculation of more real losses suffered by the peoples of the USSR in the Great Patriotic War. But first I'll show you an updated graph of the demographic picture: 
I made the following adjustments to it: I took the population of the USSR at the end of 1945 at 170.5 million people from Krivosheev. The previous one was equal to 172 million. This increased the total decline in the population of the USSR to 34.5-36.5 million people.
Based on this figure, it is now possible to calculate the irretrievable losses of military and civilians during the war years. For this purpose it is enough total loss subtract those who migrated (did not return from captivity and forced labor in Germany). According to Krivosheev, there were 180 thousand and 450 thousand people. Total 0.63 million
It remains to find out the natural population growth, which did not take place during the war years due to lower birth rates and increased mortality. To do this, I used the reference book of the Central Statistical Office of the USSR "Number, composition and movement of the population of the USSR" for 1965. There, on page 215, we learn that before the war, the annual population growth of the USSR ranged from 3 to 3.3 million people. Over 5 years, according to the minimum and maximum scenarios, this will give us a figure of 15 and 16.5 million people. We use the smaller number for the scenario of maximum losses, and the larger one for the minimum.
As a result, we get the result that I depicted in the diagram: 
Maximum figure - 20,9
million dead and killed during the war. This figure is very close to the official figure of losses during the Brezhnev era, and the minimum figure is 17.4 million. close to Viktor Zemskov’s figure in 16 million. Human.
I dare to suggest that with my reasoning I have proven the complete nonsense of the new figure of 42 million people. By the way, as well as the delirium of the perestroika figure of losses of 26.7 million people, invented by order of Alexander Yakovlev by the team of Andreev, Darsky and Kharkova, known for sucking out of thin air 7 million allegedly murdered by Stalin in 1932-33.
Recently, Russian President V.V. Putin at a meeting of the Pobeda organizing committee called for making available different kinds archives, including military ones. I am, of course, in favor. But this must be done with extreme caution and accuracy. But the facts can be interpreted in different ways. As it was, for example, with the feat of 28 Panfilov heroes.
Everyone remembers the words of the popular song: “We need one victory, one for all, we will not stand behind the price.” The cost of victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 was very high. Stalin spoke about 7 million dead, Khrushchev - about 20, Brezhnev - about 25, Gorbachev - about 27 million.
Which one of them was telling the truth?
Declassified documents from the archives force us to rethink the history of the Great Patriotic War. According to recently declassified data from the USSR State Planning Committee, the losses of the Soviet Union in World War II amount to 41 million 979 thousand (more than 19 million military personnel and about 23 million civilians).
According to the census, the population of the USSR by 1941 was 195 million people. That is, every fifth person died!
Co-chairman of the “Immortal Regiment of Russia” movement, State Duma deputy Nikolai Zemtsov, presented a report “Documentary basis of the People’s Project “Establishing the fates of missing defenders of the Fatherland,” within the framework of which studies of population decline were conducted, which changed the understanding of the scale of losses of the USSR in the Great Patriotic War.
“The total decline in the population of the USSR in 1941–1945 was more than 52 million 812 thousand people,” Zemtsov said, citing declassified data from the USSR State Planning Committee. - Of these, irretrievable losses as a result of war factors are more than 19 million military personnel and about 23 million civilians. The total natural mortality of military personnel and civilians during this period could have amounted to more than 10 million 833 thousand people (including 5 million 760 thousand deaths of children under the age of four). Irreversible losses of the population of the USSR as a result of war factors amounted to almost 42 million people.”
In World War I, Russia lost 700 thousand people. This is 60 times less than the losses of the USSR in World War II.
In World War II, Great Britain lost 379 thousand people, the USA - 408 thousand people, France - 665 thousand people. Germany, the loser of all, lost 6 million 760 thousand people.
Historians still argue about the exact number of casualties during the war, both among the military and among the civilian population. The ratio of losses of the Red Army and the Eastern Front of the Wehrmacht is estimated at approximately 5:1.
According to our historians, 14 million Red Army soldiers died.
Wehrmacht losses (according to German data) in killed amount to over 4 million, including Eastern Front- 2.8 million
IN German captivity 3.8 million Soviet troops died.
Stalin's reluctance to surrender Kyiv led to the fact that the troops were not withdrawn in time and were surrounded. Near Kiev and Bryansk-Vyazma, 1.3 million of our soldiers were captured.
Stalin expressed himself clearly: “to complete the task without regard for the victims.”
In all major European wars, Russia lost three of its own for every enemy soldier killed. The losses of the Red Army near Moscow were three times higher than those of Army Group Center.
After the 1945 Victory Parade on Red Square, Alexander Dovzhenko noted with bitterness in his diary that when Zhukov mentioned the fallen in Zhukov’s “solemn and menacing speech,” there was “no pause, no funeral march, no silence. It was as if these millions of victims and heroes had never lived at all. Before their great memory, before the blood and torment, the square did not kneel, did not think, did not sigh, did not take off its hat.”
“The duty of current generations is to remember at what cost the Victory was won,” said V.V. Putin.
In order to find out whether people remember at what cost the Victory was won, I went to the “Immortal Regiment” march in our area on May 5, 2017. The results of the answers stunned me! My survey public opinion you can see it in my
The other day parliamentary hearings were held in the Duma “ Patriotic education citizens of Russia: “Immortal Regiment”. They were attended by deputies, senators, representatives of legislative and senior executive bodies state power subjects Russian Federation, the Ministries of Education and Science, Defense, Foreign Affairs, Culture, members of public associations, organizations of foreign compatriots... True, those who came up with the action itself were not there - journalists from Tomsk TV-2, no one even remembered them. And, in general, there was really no need to remember. "Immortal Regiment", which by definition did not provide for any staffing table, no commanders or political officers, has already completely transformed into the sovereign “box” of the parade squad, and its main task today is to learn to march in step and maintain alignment in the ranks.
“What is a people, a nation? “This is, first of all, respect for victories,” the chairman of the parliamentary committee, Vyacheslav Nikonov, admonished the participants when opening the hearing. — Today, when there is a new war, which someone calls “hybrid,” our Victory is becoming one of the main targets for attacks on historical memory. There are waves of falsification of history, which should make us believe that it was not us, but someone else who won, and also make us apologize...” For some reason, the Nikonovs are seriously confident that it was they, long before their own birth, who won Great Victory, for which, moreover, someone is trying to force them to apologize. But they weren’t the ones attacked! And the aching note of the ongoing national misfortune, the phantom pain of the third generation of descendants of the soldiers of the Great Patriotic War is drowned out by a cheerful, thoughtless cry: “We can repeat it!”
Really - can we?
It was at these hearings that a terrible figure was mentioned casually, but for some reason no one noticed, and did not make us stop in horror as we ran to understand WHAT we were told after all. Why this was done right now, I don’t know.

Back in the 60s of the last century, the then young poet Vadim Kovda wrote a short poem in four lines: “ If there are only three elderly disabled people walking through my front door, / does that mean how many of them were wounded? / Was it killed?
Nowadays, due to natural reasons, these elderly disabled people are noticeable less and less. But Kovda understood the scale of losses absolutely correctly; it was enough to simply multiply the number of front doors.
Stalin, based on inaccessible to a normal person considerations, he personally determined the losses of the USSR at 7 million people - slightly less than the losses of Germany. Khrushchev - 20 million. Under Gorbachev, a book was published, prepared by the Ministry of Defense and edited by General Krivosheev, “The Classification of Secrecy Has Been Removed,” in which the authors named and in every possible way justified this very figure - 27 million. Now it turns out that she was also untrue.
The other day, parliamentary hearings “Patriotic education of Russian citizens: “Immortal Regiment” were held in the Duma.
