Russia recorded almost one million excess deaths between the start of the pandemic and the end of 2021, as the country also reported its sharpest annual fall in population since the end of the Soviet Union.

That is what happens when you lock people up. The Scamdemic is a crime against humanity.
They should take in more Muslims and Central Americans…
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer group of people.
They’ll just annex Ukraine and increase their population by 40 million.
Minus all the people who get killed in this stupid war (if it happens) or emigrate permanently to some other country.
Actually, Russians are very nice.
Its their Gov that is not very nice.
Ukraine is declining even faster.
Ukraine is disappearing, for two reasons. It has one of the world’s lowest birth rates at just 1.23 children per female, and one of the world’s highest rates of out-migration. No other country has willed itself out of existence so decisively. It left the Soviet Union with about 50 million people, and 30 years later, The Ukraine National Academy of Science’s Institute for Demography puts the present Ukrainian population at just 35 million
“Its their Gov that is not very nice.”
Ours is?
The question is how much of that is pull forward? How many of the 1 million would have died in the next year or two?
Java has more people than Russia
That’s the real plan
Don't confuse the people with the government, just like in the case of the US.
I don’t know if any nation is able to manage population decline very effectively.
Some countries, such as Japan, are also seeing poopulation potentially decline severely in decades ahead.
So would America, except for so many immigrants coming to America.
I think part of it, is that with birth control choices available nowadays, many women choose to have fewer children than they otherwise would have.
Everyone think about your own lives at the anecdotal evidence. How many in your family or social circle, had 3 or more children 50 years ago? How many in your family or social circle have more than 2 children nowadays?
This may be pronounced in Russia but the trend is world wide except for some Islamic and black african countries. Having and raising children is a costly and all too often thankless business. In a secular culture which offers no real future orientation or even hope for the future, why bother.
They have their good and their bad folks. As a culture, have a higher level of pride compared to actual achievement.
The have a fatalistic sense of humor that is priceless. I am very fond of the Ruskies I know.
3 week old story, but the war mongers are out in force!
Russian women abort a tremendous percentage of what could be children born.
