According to this link: https://worldwar2.org.uk/world-war-2-facts 80% of Soviet males born in 1923 did not survive World War Two. I'm not sure whether or not that is taking pre-war infant mortality into account, but either way I'm sure we can agree that that is an enormous loss for a country.

​

What effects did that have on post-war Soviet society? Did it affect women's rights and their position in society? And did it affect the social status of the surviving men? If I was one of the lucky survivors, would I find myself in an advantageous position when searching for a partner due to the gender split?
