Russians have a worse standard of living than poor folks in Red States, the ones that have managed to crawl out of Soviet style serfdom into some form of Middle class are either too cynical and too scared to do anything against the thugs hired by the Oligarchs and political hacks/former KGB members to keep order.

That’s for Russian consumption.
They lost somewhere between 20,000,000 and 27,000,000 people in civilian and military deaths in WWII.
Mostly at the hand of Germany.
The Cold War persisted mainly because the old guard there wasn’t about to let Americans “win” without a shot when they lost so many to Germany
