>They were also majority male, so it was harder for their women to find a partner to have children with, which should make demograpgical situation even worse.
After WW2 there was something like 7 or 8 million less males than females.

Gee OP, IDK. Maybe losing people and wars isn't an indicator is a contributor to dwindling international standing when you win WW2 and walk away an industrialized nation with half of Europe, an optimistic ideology, and a considerable amount of strategic resources. Oh yeah, you also have nukes and good scientist.

1. Russian manpower dwarfs that of any nation in Europe more than 3 times over when not accounting for overseas empires. Where Germany had 60 million people, Russia had nearly 200 million to pull from.

2. the Soviet Union did have a population crisis after the war, seeing as almost an entire generation of men aged 18-25 was killed, but the great thing about major wars ending is that most people celebrate by having massive amounts of sex, so the USSR was back to pre-war populations levels within the decade.
