Yes, but again - this more about their afforts to appeal to a certain part of domestic popularion rather than a fair attempt of rebuilding USSR. It's more about "ice cream for 47 kopecks" rathan then anything else.

> this more about their afforts to appeal to a certain part of domestic popularion And yet, more than a million Russian lives alone were sacrificed to make the appeal reality. Russia, like it or not, is actively busy restoring its older glorious days and unfortunately there is no sign of them coming anywhere near to a point where they can't sustain their losses any more. They're permanently losing upwards of 1000 soldiers per day, and that's not counting the injured, only deaths.

  >And yet, more than a million Russian lives alone As long as we are talking the current war https://www.bbc.com/russian/articles/c5yqkrz2xw1o https://www.bbc.com/russian/articles/c5yqkrz2xw1o Russia has 200k+ confirmed (via various sources like obituary, media posts etc) KIA. Even if we count MIA and add something on top - this is way less than mythical "million". >They're permanently losing upwards of 1000 soldiers per day, and that's not counting the injured, only deaths.
