Belarusian hacktivist collective—decentralized, anonymous, linked to opposition
Hackers have published a cache of more than 11 million Russian death certificates. Analysts and outlets using the dataset have identified roughly 392,000–412,000 records that explicitly link fatalities to the war from Feb. 24, 2022 through late August 2026; experts say the data likely undercounts total Russian military deaths.
Belarusian Cyber Partisans and Ukraine’s Silent Crow have released data from Rosstat showing far higher Russian casualties than official figures, with tens of thousands killed since 2022 and a notable concentration of deaths in Donetsk and the Volga region. The leak underscores the war’s rising human cost and political pressure on Moscow.
