Abstract
The paper discusses the matter of the Soviet Army losses suffered in World War II as portrayed in the Soviet post-war propaganda and historical research, as well as in recent research and disputes. The calculations of losses of the Soviet Army have been a matter of academic research, mainly based on statistical estimations. The paper exposes also the problem of the unreliability of the basic data on casualties.
