Frank and Tim,

thanks for reminding us about war victims. I think, the statistics about Poland is probably quite correct. I wish Soviet Union was divided into the specific countries. The second population after Jews that suffered on both fronts of the war were UKRAINIANS. Not too many people are aware of it.

[uncltim]

According to the link provided this is still an on-going process. Hopefully the Ukrainians will be sorted out at some point. The numbers are really stunning .

Note 51 on Wiki link

Total military dead, including partisans & militia, of the individual Soviet republics were[3, 23-35]:

Russia 6,750,000; Armenia 150,000; Azerbaijan 210,000; Belarus 620,000; Georgia 190,000; Moldova 42,000; Ukraine 1,620,000; Estonia 13,000; Latvia 13,000; Lithuania 27,000; Kazakhstan 310,000; Kyrgyzstan 70,00; Tajikistan 50,000; Turkmenistan 70,000; Uzbekistan 330,000.

Total civilian losses, including territories annexed 1939-45, of the individual Soviet republics were[3, 23-35]:

Russia 7,200,000; Armenia 30,000; Azerbaijan 110,000; Belarus 1,670,000; Georgia 110,000; Moldova 120,000; Ukraine 5,200,000; Estonia 35,000; Latvia 220,000; Lithuania 345,000; Kazakhstan 350,000; Kyrgyzstan 50,00; Tajikistan 70,000; Turkmenistan 30,000; Uzbekistan 220,000.

The genocide of Roma people was 30,000 persons.[13,184]Jewish Holocaust victims, within 1939 borders, totaled 1,000,000.[14,244]

I am amazed at the Ukrainian civilian losses. I had no idea.

Hi, I checked the Belarus looses, as promised earlier. What I found is here

++++ between 2.5 to 3 million people - almost every third resident of Belarus - perished during WWII. ++++

[Jaga]

There is another problem with Soviet Union. They lost even more people suring Stalin's persecutions, also Ukraine was one of the main victims because of the huge hunger there, but Russians do not like to admit to it.

They like blaming human losses on Hitler but not on their own communism of Stalin's type.

[uncltim]

I wish Stalin was still alive just so I could kill him. Seriously.

It's strange to me as an American to be learning about all these soviet "sattelite"countries.
(We called them satellite countries because they orbited and buffered russia.) As a child and even as an adult we may have heard of Ukraine or Belarus during the olympics. But, otherwise they were just part of the dark and evil soviet empire.

I wonder, did you think that we were blood-thirsty killers who wanted to kill you also?
What were you told of us?

One method of understanding of Russia is of this: Through time {Europe has a not so good record of many many wars for what ever reason} And Russia has not always enjoyed the goodness of this very events.

In the past with other situations of this nature of protection from invading foreign militaries of conquest, the Chinese built {Their great wall of China} There is the Adrian Wall.

For Russia, it is the use of a wall of controlled countries as protection from foreign military invasions. In other words, with the previous war, my country invaded Russia, made a mess of it, and as resulting thoughts form Stalin, it was/is the Russian resolve for never again to suffer invasion from a foreign military, and the tool as an answer: The maintenance of a wall form with satellite countries.

Now of course, the stead of use of satellite countries, it is much more desirable to use economic means. If this means of hold is met with resistance, then of course the use of military force will instill the removal of the nucleolus of leadership of resistance, then a renewal of a programme of economics to be then resumed.

To the logic of Russian mind set, it is all very simple.

The communist propaganda which was too promitive to believe told as exactly as you say - you were the aggressive part of the Warsaw Pact-NATO game that shall attack us any moment. We longed for that, but you never came...
