In Russia, as of 2017, there are about 1.8 million veterans of the Great Patriotic War, while only 1.9 million citizens over 85 years of age remain in the country.
This was reported on Facebook by the expert of the Ukrainian Institute of the Future Igor Tyshkevich.
"And now the arithmetic:" WWII "ended in 1945. The minimum age is 18 years.
This means that today, those who have not really fought against fascism, but were called to May 1945 should be 90 years old, "he wrote..
At the same time, Tyszkiewicz notes that the number of men of this age group is even smaller - only 415 thousand people.
"Where, then, did 1.8 million veterans of the Great Patriotic War appear in Russia?" Asked Tyshkevich.
As reported by the "Observer", earlier in Russia, a scandal erupted over "fascist" haircuts for children.
