| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Petr Akopov [RIA] For many years now, Russia has been falling into a demographic hole—or, to put it simply, dying out. The population decline reaches several hundred thousand a year: in 2022, the excess of mortality over the birth rate was 600 thousand (and a year earlier it exceeded a million - but then there was a covid pandemic). “Natural population decline,” in the language of demographers, is the main strategic threat both for Russia as such and for the Russian people. And increasing the birth rate is one of the main tasks of the authorities, who themselves remind us of this all the time. |
