Russia to experience the highest amount of deaths since WW2

The post-war years were much harder (actual famine killed at least half million Russians and many more other Soviets especially Ukrainians in the winter of 1946-47 alone, and I mean "free citizens" strong enough to survive the war years). It's just memory holed, like all these horrifically maimed war invalids who have been sent to the deep countryside to die forgotten there.
