The main difficulties in arriving at an overall total arise from major uncertainties as to the number of Soviet soldiers killed in World War 2. The figures for military dead for the Soviet Union range from 8.8 million to 10.7 million.
See the link to the Wikipedia article, which (as accessed on 13 April 2010) gives a worldwide total of military dead ranging from about 22.6 million to about 25.5 million (and an overall worldwide range, including civilians, of 62.4 million to 78.4 million).

During World War II, approximately 6,000 prisoners of war (POWs) were held in London, primarily in the form of German and Italian captives. These prisoners were housed in various camps and facilities throughout the city. The treatment and conditions for POWs varied, but many were involved in labor and other non-combat roles during their captivity.
Almost all of them.

Yes, there is a medal for prisoners of war (POWs) from World War II. The United States, for example, recognizes the Prisoner of War Medal, which was established in 1985 to honor former POWs who were held captive while serving in the military. This medal acknowledges their sacrifices and suffering during captivity. Many other countries also have similar honors for their POWs from the conflict.
