Claim Under Review: “60 Russians died for every Allied soldier in defeating the NAZI Party.”
Verdict: False / Not supported by credible historical data.
Clarified Data (World War II context):
Soviet (Russian/Soviet Union) casualties
• Soviet total war deaths (military + civilian) are generally estimated at around 24 – 27 million people. Modern research places the figure near this range, with roughly 8.7 million military deaths and substantially higher civilian losses due to combat, occupation, famine, and related causes. 
Allied military deaths (broader “Allies” including US, UK, France, Commonwealth, etc.)
• Total military deaths on the Allied side are estimated at roughly 21 – 25 million worldwide for all Allied nations combined. 
• Key contributors:
• United States military deaths ~416,800. 
• United Kingdom military deaths ~383,600. 
• China, France, Yugoslavia, and others also contributed, but none individually approach Soviet military losses. 
Ratio assessment:
• If comparing Soviet military deaths (~8–11 million) only with * total Allied military deaths* (~21–25 million), the result does not support a “60-to-1” ratio in favor of Soviet losses. The Soviet share of Allied military deaths was substantial but not overwhelmingly disproportionate to the combined Allied total. 
• If trying to compare total Soviet deaths (civilian + military) to Allied military deaths, the result still does not approach 60:1. Rough maximal Soviet total (~27 million) vs Allied military (~25 million) is approximately 1.08:1. 
Why the claim is inaccurate:
• The claim implies that for every one Allied soldier who died in defeating Nazi Germany, 60 Russians died, which would require tens of billions of deaths — far outside any historical estimates.
• Even if the intent were to compare one subset of casualties (e.g., Soviet total vs one Allied nation’s total), no credible data supports anything near a 60:1 ratio. Actual differences are large but far smaller (ratios closer to single-digit multiples, not dozens).
• Soviet losses were very high relative to many Allied nations, particularly Western Allied armies (US & UK), but the scale is not on the order of one to sixty.
• The vast majority of Soviet losses include civilian deaths and noncombat fatalities, and while horrific in scale, they do not translate into such an extreme multiplier when compared to total Allied military deaths.
• Most historians and casualty tables report allied military losses well below Soviet total deaths combined. 
Conclusion:
The specific ratio “60 Russians died for every Allied soldier” has no basis in accepted historical casualty estimates. Actual casualty data indicates large but much smaller proportional differences.
