In the first quarter of 2026, 524 new companies in the funeral services and organization sector were registered in Russia, representing a 37.5% increase compared to the same period last year, Kommersant reported , citing data from the Rusprofile analytics platform. Kontur.Fokus reports a similar trend: 500 new companies, a 20.8% year-on-year increase. The total number of active organizations in this segment reached 11,300, up 5.7% from the previous year, Kommersant reports.
The growth of new businesses in the funeral industry comes amid record losses suffered by the Russian military during Vladimir Putin’s war against Ukraine. According to an annual report by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies or CSIS, by January 2026, cumulative Russian troop losses—killed and seriously wounded—reached 1.198 million, with at least 325,000 fatalities. NATO estimated its losses in February at 350,000. In 2025 alone, according to CSIS estimates, the Russian armed forces will have lost 425,000 killed and wounded—an average of approximately 35,000 per month. "These figures are unprecedented. No leading country has suffered such losses in any war since World War II," the center’s analysts note.
Against this backdrop, according to Rosstat, coffin production in Russia has increased in price by 84% since the beginning of 2022, while grave digging has increased by 51%. In January–February 2026, the volume of funeral services provided increased by 6.9% year-on-year in physical terms, and by 15.7% in monetary terms, to 22.7 billion rubles, says Rosstat.
The Russian army has already lost 17 times more soldiers in the war against Ukraine than the Soviet Union lost during the entire ten-year war in Afghanistan, 11 times more than in both Chechen campaigns, and five times more than in all the wars waged by Russia and the USSR since 1945. In the face of such unprecedented losses, Rosstat has stopped publishing detailed mortality statistics.
At the cost of enormous losses, Russian troops managed to take control of only 1.4% of Ukraine’s territory over the past two years: 0.6% in 2024 and 0.8% in 2025. The rate of advance in some areas was slower than during the battles of World War I. For example, from Avdiivka to Chasiv Yar, from February 2024 to January 2026, the Russian army advanced at a rate of 15 meters per day. The offensive on Kupyansk, which began in November 2024 and ended in 2026 with Russia’s complete collapse, progressed at a rate of 23 meters per day.
These statistics highlight the immense scale of the losses incurred by the Russian Federation in its military campaign. The figures are widely cited by Ukrainian authorities and Western analysts, though Russia rarely confirms such losses publicly.
The reported numbers reflect not only the military toll but also the broader context of a protracted conflict now entering its fifth year. The high attrition rate of both personnel and equipment is likely to impact Russia’s long-term war strategy and the regional balance of power. These developments are closely monitored by the international community, given their implications for global security and the future course of the war.
