Total Russian casualties at the Battle of Sandepu were 1,781 killed, 9,395 wounded and 1,065 MIA per modern Soviet sources., although other sources put to toll at over 20,000 men. Japanese casualties totaled around 9,000 killed, wounded or captured.
As the battle ended in a tactical stalemate, neither side claimed victory. In Russia, the Marxists used the newspaper controversy created by Grippenberg, and by Kuropatkin’s incompetence in previous battles, to drum up more support in their campaign against the government.
