The role of the Russian army in the defeat of the Second Reich and its allies is customary to underestimate. However, Russia made a significantly more contribution to victory than any of the armies of the Entente, comparable to the contribution of the British, French and Italians combined. It was in the Russian theater of military operations that more than half of the human losses of the German, Austro-Hungarian, Ottoman Empires and 60% of captured prisoners were. It was on the Eastern Front that the most bloody battles of the First World War unfolded, leaving far behind the legendary Verden “meat grinder”. In addition, Russian soldiers fought in France, Balkans, Romania, Persia and Mesopotamia.
