The population of the USSR's (today known Russia) in 1939 was 168,524,000 but by 1946 it was 170,548,000. There is a good reason for this, before WW2, the Baltic states wasn't part of the USSR but in 1941 once the Baltic states becomed part of the USSR, the general population of the USSR was 196,716,000, then during WW2, around 25 Million Soviets died, which lead to the population being around 170 Million by 1946.

Before Russia withdrew they were part of the military alliance of Great Britain, France, Italy and 20 other nations. The other military alliance of the war was the alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire. Between France and Russia was Germany and since France and Russia were enemies with Germany, Germany had to fight two different ways. When the Russian revolution happened, Russia had to withdraw from the war and when they withdrew, Germany only had to fight one way. So then Germany became stronger and didn't have to worry about fighting two nations at once.

Niko Bellic is NOT from Russia. His home country is never specified, but the language he speaks is Serbian and he is definitely from Eastern Europe. His home was at one probably part of the USSR, but once again, NOT Russia. Yugoslavia is the general consensus.

A simplistic answer yes, but one that gets to the heart of the issue: In Eastern Europe there are/were many unresolved conflicts/issues between nations & within each nation. These conflicts had emerged every few years prior to the Second World War. These local conflicts were set aside temporarily when Hitler gained the support of Slovakia, Croatia, Hungary, Bulgaria & Romania to attack the Soviet Union in June 1941. When Stalin's Soviet Union defeated Hitler & his allies in Eastern Europe, the Soviets installed communist governments in these nations to keep them in alignment with the USSR during the Cold War. Tito's communist government with Soviet support in Yugoslavia, kept that nation geographically unified behind Serbian muscle. The Soviet Union's efforts in the Cold War did not allow for dissention in Eastern Europe, nor for the resolution of simmering feuds amongst the nations or territories that it controlled. When the Soviet Union collapsed, these Eastern European nations were once again free to exert their once-dormant claims on their neighbors (mostly for territory-based on ethnicity , religion, or language of the population). Most nations resolved these claims peacefully, to exhibit standards of behavior acceptable to potential NATO membership and out of fear for Russian interference. In those nations where future NATO or EU membership was desired, conflicts were resolved. In those places where Russia welded great influence, such as Serbia, then conflicts occurred. Some areas of the Balkans with large Islamic populations became agitated to violence by outside interests. Those nations that border with Russia are under the constant threat of Russian aggression or dominance, and conflicts are more likely.
