Estimates suggest they've drafted as much as 500k new men already, and while the first of them were thrown to the frontlines without training, Russia has not sent 500k men to the front. So they have reserves, and they also can just draft another 500k men if they want.
Losing 300 marines is bad, but it's not much in the total scale of this war. They can literally lose a thousand times that and not run out of men.

I think the problem for Russia though is it is supposed to lose thousands but gain ground and win, it is losing thousands and not gaining ground that speaks to a couple of almost fatal problems for them, they have no competent leadership and they have run out of usable kit, you dont lose 300 marines if they are tooling around in AFV's and tanks, you lose at this scale if they are walking
