Thus, as of the morning of April 13, at least 52,957 people from the Volga Federal District (plus Astrakhan region) have died. The number of identified names of the deceased over the past week by regions: Tatarstan — 100 people; Bashkortostan — 97 people; Saratov region — 65 people; Udmurtia — 25 people; Mari El — 9 people; Nizhny Novgorod region — 8 people; Samara region — 6 people; Chuvashia — 3 people; Kirov region — 3 people; Orenburg region — 2 people; Perm Krai — 1 person; Penza region — 1 person; Ulyanovsk region — 1 person; Astrakhan region — 1 person; Mordovia — 1 person.

Next on the list is Tatarstan with 8,288 and Perm Krai with 5,646 names. The lowest losses among the regions of the Volga to date have been suffered by Penza region and Mordovia — 1,350 and 691 respectively. Journalists from "Mediazona" together with the "Russian Service of the BBC" and a team of volunteers as of April 10 have identified the names of 208,755 Russians who died in the war. Bashkortostan remains the leader among all regions of Russia in terms of confirmed losses. Russia's losses over the year of war with Ukraine have exceeded the losses of the USSR and Russia in all wars after World War II combined. Moscow and Kyiv generally do not publicly disclose losses in the war in Ukraine, mainly reporting on the enemy's losses. The parties to military conflicts tend to exaggerate their successes and downplay their failures. Journalistic investigations are one of the most important independent assessments of the number of dead. The Russian Ministry of Defense last reported on losses on the day mobilization began — September 21, 2022. According to the then-head of the agency, Sergei Shoigu, the losses amounted to 5,937 people. "Idel.Realii" maintains its own count of deceased military personnel and volunteers from the regions of the Volga. This list includes only those whose deaths have been recognized by the Russian side, relatives of the deceased, or educational or other public institutions.
