“Russia is losing population faster than any Euro nation except Spain. This is especially dire in the 18-40 group eligible for military service.
A good analysis is available by Peter Zeihan, in “Accidental Superpower.”
Yep, propaganda I was talking about.
It doesn’t take talent to learn that the population of Russia was 148 mi in 1992, now 145. It doesn’t look like a demographic collapse.
There are several Euro nations lost 20-40% over the same period.
It’s shrinking rapidly. That ain’t propaganda.
And of that 148m it’s top heavy with oldies.
But keep working on manipulating the stats.
