Putin has been running massive propaganda about Russia being strong. 800,000 is 1 in 200 Russians. So most Russians will personally know somebody who has died or been badly injured in Putins war. Just imagine what happens when Putin has to explain to them, that the war is lost. Even worse an end of the war, means the military industry being slowed down, which will cause an economic crisis. In other words it is doubtful if Putin can survive loosing the war.
Unfortunately most of the casualties are from undesirables and minorities in Russia.
So certain groups are more like 1:5-10 (convicts, or minorities). However in the main cities where Putin holds his power it's like 1:5000-10,000.
