Russian OSINT and military bloggers have been adding up the numbers: Up to 1,5 million soldiers are missing from what should be the full force of the Russian military right now.

Opposition forces have counted 230000 or so official funerals for soldiers inside Russia, but the real number of KIA could be double, even more.

Finally, the Russians are asking questions!

_The Evening Post_, 15 Oct 1923:
NEW ZEALAND ROLL OF HONOUR
IN MEMORIAM

HOARE—In loving memory of my dear sons, Edward and Joe, who were killed In action on 5th October and 15th September, 1916 and 1917.
  A happy home we once enjoyed,
    How sweet the memory still,
  But death left me a lonsomeness
    The world can never tell.
    Ever remembered by their mother.
