I mean, in many ways, surprised.
I mean, what we wanted to do is take a look at how the Russians were actually performing on the battlefield.
There's been a lot of talk about that the Russians are either doing well or doing poorly.
I mean, if you listen to...
President Putin, he makes it sound like Russia is marching to some kind of inevitable victory.
So we looked at a couple of indicators just to give us a sense of how the Russians are performing.
And the data was just stunning.
If you look at casualties and fatalities, Russia has suffered since the war began.
The full scale war began in 2022.
roughly 1.2 million casualties and somewhere around on the high end, about 325,000 deaths.
So those casualties are both wounded and killed.
The deaths will obviously be just that percentage that have died.
But I mean, those are more casualties and frankly deaths than any major power has lost in any war
since World War II.
We also looked at a couple of other areas just to gauge how the Russians were doing.
One of them was we looked at average rates of advance on the battlefield, how quickly or slowly they were moving.
And they were advancing anywhere from 15 meters per day on average to 70.
That is lower than almost every war offensive campaign we looked at over the last century, including the bloody Battle of the Somme during World War One.
And then we also looked at the war economy, noting how little productivity is going on within the Russian economy.
Obviously, other than just oil and gas, one area that we looked at is tech companies.
