In 4.75years Russia has wasted what amounts to 2 full years of new born boys. That is definitely going to leave mark in the Russian demographics.

Let's assume that the soldiers getting killed have been born in a 10year period, that means a pool of approx 8x10^6^. 1,6x10^6^ killed is 20% of all boys in that window. That's a lot of grieving families and a lot of young women without a mate.

How long can Putin keep it up? At some point the population must have had enough.
