I guess it is because of "своя рубашка ближе к телу" (self likes itself best). It is universal principle.
One studies one's own interests, pursues one's own ends.

China lost in WWII 10 millions but is it well known about the part of WWII? It is known very roughly.


Anyway, it is impossible to call in question that the USSR made main decisive contribution on the Victory over Nazi Germany.

Фактически на советско-германском фронте были разгромлены, уничтожены, пленены, принуждены к капитуляции почти три четверти (около 72 %) вооруженных сил Германии, более 60 % (166 из 275,5) соединений армий ее союзников.

In fact on soviet-german front there were smashed, annihilated, captivated, forced to capitulation almost three fourth (about 72%) of German armed forces, more then 60% (166 of 275,5) bodies of troops of the German allies."

See also table to compare how many German divisions and German allies were on the west front (на фронтах зап. ТВД) and on the soviet-german front (на сов-герм. фронте).
