If it says "Russia" and not Soviet Union,  does this mean this was mainly Tsarist Russia then?  Our losses were terrible as well. This topic had previously come up.  It must be complicated. Very sad. I don't know where those Russians were even fighting. I think Russia, to an extent was helping it's nation-relative Serbia.

------------------------------------
A demurral.
Germany commanded by Von Hindenburg crushed two Russian
Armies at Tannenberg, East Prussia in August, 1914 effectively
knocking Tsarist Russia out of the Great War.
Russia engaged the Austrians and Ottomans from time to time
but was hardly a force in the War any longer.
