Demographic war: the colonies strike at Moscow
The population in Russia decreased by 1.2 million people or by 0.83%. This happened due to a sharp death rate increase while slowing down the influx of migrants. In the country as a whole, in 2021 the number of deaths exceeded the number of births by 1.7 times, RIA Novosti reports in its study of the demographic rating of Russian regions. One of the main reasons is the coronavirus epidemic.
