Interesting perspective, and you are definitely not exaggerating the numbers, I get it closer to 1 in 400.
Question is if you can hide most of the 20 in a city of 10000, if the duration is almost 2 years?
I think many are naive enough to believe the official propaganda, especially because it is rarely contradicted, because if you do that, you disappear.
Thinking about it, if you take men 20-40 years old you have around 12.5% of the population, so some 17M people, like (if my math is right) 0.2 of those 12.5 percent are already dead or cannot fight any more? So there is like 12.3% left to work and eventually get drafted. Might seem not very much but it seems staggering. Without that ~12%, the middle class, the people working, won’t exist any more and the country would just stop existing basically. I mean it won’t disappear over night but that’s a fair chunk out of the most important thing, the main workforce I imagine.
Yes I’ve been wondering about these things too, and we already have confirmations of shortage of workers, and the Russian economy seems to be in some weird limbo between overheating on some parameters, and at the same time it’s actually in a recession.
Unfortunately the situation in Ukraine is stressed too, but at least I’m sure help from the west will continue to help them rebuild after the war.

Crazy.
