Nearly 50,000 Russian men have died in the war in Ukraine, according to the first independent statistical analysis of data to learn the true human cost of Russia's invasion.
"Their figures might be accurate, or they might not be," Treshchanin, the editor at Mediazona, said.
Many Russian fatalities — as well as amputations — could have been prevented with better frontline first aid, the UK Ministry of Defence said in an intelligence assessment published on Monday. Independently, Dmitry Kobak — a data scientist from Germany's Tübingen University who has published work on excess COVID-19 deaths in Russia — obtained mortality data broken down by age and sex for 2022 from Rosstat, Russia's official statistics agency.
Sergei Scherbov, a scholar at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Austria, cautioned that "differences in the number of deaths between males and females can vary significantly due to randomness alone". Asked by the Associated Press on Monday about the Meduza and Mediazona study, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said during a conference call with reporters he was not aware of it as the Kremlin had "stopped monitoring" Meduza.
