Russia is toast no matter the outcome of the Ukraine invasion

Russia Is in Demographic Free Fall.

 

Russia was in demographic decline long before the war in Ukraine. Now it’s in free fall.
Since 2022, hundreds of thousands of Russians have died or suffered critical injuries in Ukraine. The result: According to one demographer, Russians may have had fewer children from January to March 2025 than in any three-month period over the past 200 years. As of 2023, the country’s fertility rate—1.4 births per woman—lies well below replacement level and amounts to a roughly 20 percent drop compared with 2015. In some regions, births fell that much in just 12 months. Last year, deaths outpaced births by more than half a million.

To me it’s sad for the Russian people they and their country have much to offer the world.they possess all the nessary ingredients to succeed and thrive with the exception of that murderous malignant cancer of a leader putin.how I wish they could join the world and thrive without being criminal aggressors.i know I’m naive but hope springs eternal.

Agreed. Being born Russian is a raw deal. In all it's existence (roughly 1100 years) it has only experienced democracy for 9 years (in the 90's under Yeltsin).

Who knows what happens when the present dictator is gone. As you say, one can only hope.

According to Ukraine, Putin nears the million threshold

the numbers speak for themselves and, if true, they are huge losses

Same demographic free fall happening in Europe and Japan as well. All well below the "replacement rate" of 2. It's not only a Russian problem. Chinas former 1 child policy has come to haunt them.

But Africa is taking up the slack: They are reproducing like rabbits.

 

I find the political/economical/sociological/military "free fall" of Europe more worriesome.

The US population total would also be in decline were it not for immigration.

Since the early 1990s, Russia has decided to follow the path of the West. Since 1993, according to the Russian constitution, the most important thing is human rights and not the rights of society. Just like in Western countries. Therefore, a woman's right to give birth to 1 child only for herself had become more important than the right of society to get 2-3 children from each woman in order to survive.
The same situation is in all Western countries that are trying to clumsily cover up the demographic catastrophe by importing migrants from Muslim countries. Muhammad's wife gives birth to 6 children precisely because her husband doesn't give a damn about human rights.
The worst situation in the world is in South Korea, where we can see the world`s lowest birth rate per woman - 0.8 children! In North Korea, everything is fine - 2 children per woman. All because Kim doesn't give a damn about such harmful Western inventions as Human Rights.

Perhaps Phuket, Samui, Pattaya will be less crowded when Putin falls down dead........

Only because the western world keep sending money and food enough keep it happen.

Increased population but no increase in productivity or food production.
