World War II casualties of the Soviet Union from all related causes are commonly estimated in excess of 20,000,000, both civilians and military. With the total pre-war population of the country being about 170,000,000, the loss constitutes about 10–15% of the population.
World War II casualties statistics vary to a great extent. While the numbers of 20–23 million were accepted for a long time, losses of the Soviet Union, within postwar borders, are now estimated at 26.6 million.
