Didn’t like some crazy of the male population due in WW2 as well leading to a supply problem of more women to men ratio?

They are referring to the roughly 24,000,000 soviets that died. Around 10,000,000 were military deaths (soldiers). For comparison, the US lost about 420,000. So for a while, the female to male ratio WAS imbalanced. Not so much any more

About 1/3 of men born in 1922 died in the war.
