People think Russia cares about it's soldiers lives. The reason they haven't gone all in, is because they're straling a play from the US, using a low level conflict to get rid of old equipment and get combat experience. The soldiers who live have more value, the soldiers who die, die - slavic nihilism at work again.
It's no different from any other country. Russia cares about its soldiers' lives insofar as they serve the interests of the state, same as any other country.
