The main growth is in older records, which we are sorting through. By September 2024, volunteers had once again become the largest social group among the dead. Why do Russians go to war? In the second part of the report, Mediazona editor Dmitry Treshchanin talks about what is known about volunteers on the Russian side and how the state buys human lives. ___________________________ Mediazona, together with the BBC and a team of volunteers, maintains a list of names of Russian soldiers killed in the war with Ukraine. It is updated every two weeks. The death toll we publish does not reflect the real level of losses: we only take into account public reports of deaths.
