Russia’s population could drop by more than 12 million by 2035, the national statistics office said in its annual forecast published Friday.
Russia’s overall population dropped for the first time in a decade last year, totaling 146.8 million as migration inflows hit record lows. It totaled 146.7 million so far in 2019, the State Statistics Service Rosstat said this month, as Russia experienced its highest natural population decline in 11 years.
Here are the three population scenarios that Rosstat predicted for the next 15 years. In all cases, Russia’s natural population is expected to continue to decline — meaning deaths will continue to outnumber live births.
Optimistic scenario: 150.1 million. Natural population is expected to slow its contraction from nearly 250,000 next year to 21,300 in 2035. Migration is expected to grow from under 340,000 next year to more than 385,000 in 2035.
Baseline scenario: 142.9 million. Natural population is expected to decline by more than 350,000 next year and almost 400,000 in 2035. Migration is expected to drop slightly from almost 265,000 next year to around 264,000 in 2035.
Worst-case scenario: 134.2 million. Natural population is expected to contract by 484,400 next year and near 1 million people by 2035. Migration is expected to drop from almost 191,000 to under 16,000 arrivals in 2035.
All the figures were revised downward from 2018, when Rosstat forecast Russia’s population to grow to 153.2 million under an optimistic scenario, 144 million under a baseline scenario and 138.1 million under the worst-case scenario.
Rosstat will not publish its forecast next year because of the 2020 census, the state-run TASS news agency reports.
The Marx madness that took Russia and much of world into Soviet style communist tyranny now has a good grip on US.
And it will do the same things here as it has done everywhere it goes.
Russia is in recovery.
The USA and the rest of the west are in denial.
If not for President Trump and all he brought with him, we would be sliding into a Clinton version of Venezuela II.
How are things in the old Chernobyl neighborhood?
It is not it Russia.
Same land mass. The stupid Russkies irradiated half the planet with that stunt. So are you pushing some sub text here that maybe the old Soviet Union is a better place to live?

You are kidding, right? I am only pointing at the fact that there are no human excrements and no drunken and stoned people in the streets nowadays unlike of that in SF.
There was a time when Russian cities were looking similarly to what you are seeing now though. There were windows shattered, pay phones and traffic lights disassembled for copper and buildings covered in graffiti, drunks at the corners and cop cars burning. That was probably in between 1993-1996 but not now.
