::"Russia’s population dropped from 147.2 million in 2021 to 146.0 million in 2025, with a projected decline to 130 million by 2046 (Rosstat) or 120 million by 2075 (UN). A natural population decline of 596,200 in 2024 (up 20.4% from 2023) signals a deepening demographic crisis. The total fertility rate (1.41 children per woman in 2024) is below the replacement rate of 2.1, aligning with European averages but insufficient to sustain population growth."
