And far too many of us, during Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine, have believed that.
Of its three most consequential foreign wars, the Red Army lost two.

It was disproportionately Ukrainians who fought their war to Berlin in the uniform of the Red Army.
Russia can lose this war, and should, for the sake of Russians themselves.
