I apologize if this seems a strange question, but looking at statistics of ww2 deaths, many of those who died in the Soviet Union were men, 16 to 35. I know that many civilians perished as well, but did the gender imbalance cause a disturbance? Was anything done to adress the gender gap?
In addition to this question...Did the Soviet Union experience a "baby boom" similar to the United States after World War II?
Good news, there was a very similar question responded to a few months ago; and the comments have a link to another relevant thread.
Please, no more half-assed answers. Remember the rules. As was explained in the excellent recent meta post on "What it means to post a good answer in /r/AskHistorians": If you're choosing to answer a question in /r/AskHistorians, there are three questions you should ask yourself first in turn:
Do I, personally, actually know a lot about the subject at hand?
Am I essentially certain that what I know about it is true?
Am I prepared to go into real detail about this?
We also do not allow personal anecdotes.
