I knew that the eastern front during WWII was an absolute bloodbath, but I didn't realize it was that bad. During World War I there were towns in Great Britain that lost their entire population of young men, as they were assigned to the same unit and would all die during the same charge. It's frightening to think of every town and city losing most of its young men. Looking at some population pyramids from 1950, it looks like a number of women died too, but there was still 1.5-2 women for every man above the age of 25. That sort of hollowing out scars a nation for a long time.

As someone who lived in Sakha Republic until recently I would add that the so called autonomy of republics in Russia is in name only, in practice no region of Russia has any autonomy. Almost all the money from taxes goes directly to federal government and then is distributed to the country's regions from top (federal government) to bottom (municipalities). Obviously you can't go against the federal government when they determine how much money you get to function.

@@choosenundead4428 It's not that hard to make a road, keep it maintained and have snow trucks constantly keeping the roads clear during winter. Nah the problem is that there's barely any real political will to do anything for these distant regions. Vast majority of Russians live in Moscow and western Russia anyway. That's why they get the most resources from the government. It's funny looking at the ethnic composition of Russia. Only about 80-90 million can really call themselves Slavic Russians or really Russian. So it is understandable they are not willing to keep the regions developed.

The problem stated is clearly in reference to problems which will come to fruition in 10 - 20 years, which was stated multiple times. There is a historically unique downward trend in birth rates in the modern era which has rarely been seen except in times of plague as modernization has lowered birth rates markedly and this problem is affecting Eastern Europe more than other regions because it not only has low birth rates but also high migration rates. Whereas somewhere like Sub-saharan Africa has high migration rates but high birth rates; or, on the opposite scale, Japan has a low birth rate but low migration rate. By the way, in Japan the long standing low birth rate has long been considered a problem and it is projected that it will soon start having a big negative impact on the social security net (less people to pay national retirement benefits) and the economy (less labourers to work jobs). It is definitely interesting to see what will happen to Eastern Europe due to the loss of population not only from migration and low birth rates, but also now from a bloody war. Yeah, it's clear the place is going to change dramatically VERY soon (but certainly not in 1 or 2 years) and not in a good way. I would say I would give you the benefit of the doubt because of your screen name that you're not a dumbass, but just being politically biased. But actually, given your Slav name, I'm going to go ahead and assume you're ALSO a dumbass.

[@florac1995]

​@@Rhezoloution Because a generation barely had any kids, while those shortly after did again. So whenever a generation descendant of the one born during WW2 comes during the time they are most likely to have kids, birth rates decline because there are just fewer people to have kids than there would have been otherwise. TL;DR: Dead people didnt have kids so their unborn kids didnt have kids.

[@MCSTNDTCAFAG]

@@Rhezoloution When people in age of giving birth die in mass, then the child they should have had do not exist hence those "not existing child" will in turn not give birth 25 years later. That create ripple in the pyramid that take a few generations to damper.

[@BrandonVout]

@@Rhezoloution After 20 or so years babies grow up and reach childbearing age. The massive loss of life in WWII resulted in fewer people to have kids. Their fewer number of kids reach childbearing age and have fewer kids because there are fewer parents. Then their fewer kids grow up and so on. The parts of the population that missed serving in WWII due to being too young or old at the time have regular birth rates, so their descendants have normal birthrates, explaining why the drops come in waves.

As a Russian who fled the country one month ago, I want to add that there's also a significant rise in rent prices in all countries where most Russians go. In Kazakhstan it's about 50%, in Kyrgyzstan it's 21%, in Georgia it has doubled etc. The demand for housing has increased several times. So staying somewhere in a country that used to be cheaper for us is no longer cheap, even for those who have above-average wages. Nowadays, some people may return because of the latest announcements about the end of mobilization, however, nothing shows that there will be no second wave of it. This is why our stay abroad extends for an indefinite time.

Ukraine is definitely looking at this situation in long term, at least in some areas, as countries like Finland who took in Ukrainian orphans was made to give an agreement that they will send the kids back home once the war is over. Not to mention that huge chunk of the refugees are wives and children of the Ukrainian men and women who are fighting right now to secure their homes, they will return. As an European I like to think that once the war blows over we are indebted to help Ukraine to reconstruct its infrastructure, the U.S will probably help too with a modern version of the Marshall plan. I can see a lot of potential for improvement and foreign investment once the situation stabilizes. On the other hand they share border with the most unpredictable country in the world so nothing can be said for sure, but at least for now I can feel some gentle optimism for the future.

My best friend growing up was from Kyiv Ukraine. She still has family there and my heart is breaking

[@kurteisner67]

When I was little, my neighbour's family were Ukrainians from Donbas. They had three daughters, and they were my first real friends. We baked cakes together, we learned to read Cyrillic letters together (yes, I was able to read Ukrainian and Russian before I could read the Latin alphabet - and I'm neither), we played piano together, we sang together, we watched Russian and Ukrainian children series together. In 2014 I saw them again, coincidentally, and they told me about how their grandfather lived in war-torn Donbas all by himself with tears in their eyes. He said that he's too old and stubborn to leave, that his father survived Hitler and he'll survive the Russians too. He died last year, and while I'm a non-believer, may the just God he always faithfully believed in bless his soul and give him rest. The three Ukrainian girls, now refined young women, also told me that they were sad and if they are going to have children, there would be no more Russian children books for them. We remembered how we enjoyed them, and a great sadness overcame us. The Russians call themselves "brothers" and "friends" of Ukrainians, but they kill them out of pride and greed. The band is cut, and both the Ukrainians and those who are not cry out to them now: "Cain, where is your brother?" I don't understand, and it breaks my heart.

@@Wackoart1995 Kind of unrelated, but there's a certain tragedy in the fact that people seem to be able to only be able to think of one thing at once. My younger brother volunteered to fight with the Kurds and I served as humanitarian worker in Ukraine for a few years. If you think about it, the Kurds and the Irish, the Ukrainians and Armenians, don't they all suffer from a not too dissimilar fate of oppression, subjugation and genocide? And yet - the Ukrainians throw the Kurds under the bus for a few Bayraktar and NATO membership of Sweden and Finland. The Kurds abandoned the Irish, because many Brits volunteered. The Irish (Republicans) betrayed Ukraine, because Russia hates Britain and they do as well. Despite Kurds historically genociding Armenians and the Soviet Union ethnically cleansing Kurds from Armenia, those are actually two of the only groups so far properly supporting one another. But then, the Armenians still backstabbed Ukraine, because the former are Moskali dick suckers. I do believe that the fight in Ukraine today is the greatest of our time, for it's by far the largest of all and the one threatening the "West", i.e. our way of life, the most. ...and like the Irish in eight hundred years, the Kurds in several hundreds, the Armenians since 1890 - the Ukrainians showed the same valour in the last eight months!

What is true, that all the tourist valid visas were annulled. This is the most simple to get and the most popular type of visa. And and it has the least control over whom it was given out to. The last is the main reason for not letting the holders of tourist visas in.

Thankfully they're working for a big company with departments in different countries, so it just moved them. Latvia closed entry (at least for Riga area) even for Russians with residence permits in other EU countries - there was incident recently, when Russian people, living in Estonia by TRP, had to book a new flights from Turkey, because their original flight was supposed to make stop in Riga and they just weren't allowed to board.

Only true for the middle class that has the means to flee and nothing tying them down. The vast majority of Russian population is poor.

A lot of people are in debt trying to pay for their mortgage and if you're in financial debt you simply are forbidden from leaving the country. So it's fairly young people trying to make it in life and leave away from their parents aside from those who have other tethers like sick family members. A lot of people in this group despise the regime and Putin, and would be happy to see him gone, it's just they feel stuck in their tough life situation. The moment these people sense the wind of change or the weakness in the system, they won't be silent, and they'll do their best to fight for their future.

The Russians have been hoping for a magical savior figure throughout history, that kind of overreliance on someone who can make their problems disappear in exchange for loyalty is what led to a dictatorship over and over again. There must come a point of realization that the magical savior will never come, and that they're responsible for their own lives. And about the willingness to fight - you must understand that Russians are doing it every day in their own way. They're not fighting openly, they're fighting discreetly. By resisting demands from the government, by sabotage that seems like laziness or incompetence.

I can sort of relate. My great grandparent immigrated during the Indian Partition. It was an extremely biddy event. I just really hope that the civilians of both sides can live a life after the war 🇺🇦

[@bibhuduttamisra6065]

Comparing those two I think it's not appropriate bcz this is not permanent migration or complete moving out of motherland and also not violently... But our partition is brutal, violent and permanent displacement...

[@Snowshowslow]

@Cultured Anime Waifu [Russian Waifu] That's bad news for everyone, as it will just make the war longer...

[@katherinegarlock2249]

Unfortunately, inflation and lingering effects from trade bans will plague both countries. Add in the significant loss of educated young professionals, and we can almost guarantee that both sides will have a hard time recovering.

[@sherk3286]

@Cultured Anime Waifu [Russian Waifu] ok?

[@samuela-aegisdottir]

I hope the soldiers will have a life after the war too. They are just ordinary people forced to fight in a war by one ruthless dictator.

Yeah I don’t think Russia is struggling

[@ardstota]

As someone who studies history, most Russian “collapses”(Russian revolution, fall of the Soviet Union) coincided with economic woes and a war that was deeply unpopular. Historically speaking, it seems more likely than not that Russia is going to collapse. Again.

It's wild to me that you can just "capture" people in real life, like in an RTS game.

[@doonewatts7155]

Bless your heart darling. RTS games were founded on real life

[@aoeu256]

Maybe the East Ukranians are half-Ukranian half-Russian?

[@alals6794]

Wild does not even describe it.....look up the Holocaust and the industrial extermination of masses of people in NAZI occupied Europe during World War 2. The bottom line is, when the global plutocrats at the head of the imperialist powers, decide that a re division of the planet is to their benefit, as happened during WW1 and WW2, there are no limits to the war atrocities that they will commit in pursuit of geopolitical hegemony.

Seeing all this really makes me think. There's such a disconnect between me and the world. Naturally, my heart goes out to all those involved. Living in these countries must be horrifying at the moment. And there's so many more conflicts like this one around the globe. All the while, I'm sitting at home, worrying about whether I will pass my math exam this semester. I just wish we could lay these wars to rests, but I'm guessing it's more complicated than just that. Really, truly sucks.

[@torr3n]

As someone from Ukraine, who lived near the front line, it's not that bad to live here, it's just the paranoia and the fear, of getting bombed by a drone at night and never waking up, but when it's quiet, life goes on as usual, people get to work, out of work, but it's probably because there's no better choice, then to live

[@shuvalova7915]

As someone from Russia who is against the war, I was arrested, fined and pressured by police. Now I am in Kazakhstan. But for most russians not a lot changed. Just prices have increased and some products have disappeared. Some of russians lost their jobs because west companies left the country because of putin (aka huylo). But at least there are no bombs falling from the sky except of Belgorod where they fall. I hope this will stop as soon as possible with Ukraine's victory. May be another one collapse of Russia will even make Russia (or something what will remain here) better as it was with Germany after 1945.
