Prior to 1941 Russia lost less than 10k in such minor battles, did little more from 1941 until August 1945 where they had a major invasion against Japan, Manchuria really, which was already defeated. That was either the day before we nuked them or the day after, I cannot remember which.
If I recall correctly, Russia and Japan never formally signed a peace treaty at the close of World War II and still dispute the Kuril islands, which are in control of Russia.
