His book is about Russian/Soviet casualties and he wrote abt Finns "by the way". I'd quoted him to show minimal Finns casualties - 45,000 KIA. That's all. You said yorself that you had seen estimates ~65,000 or so. You don't agree with 45,000 or we have a doubt that these "obscure" Russian magazines do exist? They exist and he refers to them becouse his book is in Russian and for Russian. You may find English version - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... 1?v=glance

I'm sure in this version he refers to foreign sources (I mean abt Finns loses)
