Russia on the decrease (Video)

According to census data, today in Russia there are more than 142,905,000 people, that is, the Russians continue to die off (recall that the maximum population of the country was recorded in 1991 and amounted to little more than 148 million people). Wide audience worried: what the country is heading?.
Experts answer: nothing unexpected happens, the vector of expected. Another ' sick ' option: Russian women outnumber men by about 10 million. For experts and it is not news, it is known that men in Russia do not last long.

Specialists, however, another surprise - suspiciously high numbers, particularly in the North Caucasus, where the census recorded the highest growth rate at 6.3 percent.

- The growing population of Dagestan is inflated, since the urban population of the republic is not characterized by high birth rates and migration flows there, - says Natalia Zubarevich, regional program director of the Independent Institute of Social Policy. - There are doubts on the dynamics of the population of Chechnya, although there is the highest birthrate in the country. According to demographers, the Chechen population figures were too high back in the 2002 census and this error is reproduced in the new. On the contrary, the population of Ingushetia decreased compared to the 2002 census, when it was clearly overstated by refugees.
