What do you mean "larger extremely costly war"? Target for the first "partial mobilisation" was 300k mostly men of a certain age. People are currently being summoned to the military offices.

Still a limited war, damage done to Russia is minor in comparison to what it could be.

Their gains despite superiority in manpower and equipment were minimal, at a huge cost to human life and equipment, WWII ornaments included.

Still not exceptionally large just embarrassingly so, they are only smarting from the pain not roaring because of it. Taking WWI in comparison where they lost millions.... you have a better idea where I am driving at.

Oh bits and pieces come out from visitors, podcasts and cultural delegations. Nothing conclusive, just general prognostication. You never actually know what the undercurrents are so far from home.

There are oddly strong Afrikaner-Russian ties dating back to the Anglo Boer wars with organizations keeping in contact. There is even a popular Russian folk song about Transvaal.

EDIT: for context, opinion subject to change

Yeah right, the Russians and South Africans remember the Boer war. And I suppose that the Royal Marines offical marching song, Sarie Marais means SA and Britain still have cultural ties due to the Boer war?

Of course.

Q - Do you have evidence for that?
A - What? Can't you use Google? Look it up yourself! Go to a blog and see!

You made the claim, you provide the evidence. You know how this works.
