'''The main consequences of Russia's demographic crisis according to the Russian demographer Salavat Abylkalikov'''
The Russian demographer Salavat Abylkalikov says the main consequences of Russia's demographic crisis will be the following:
{{Cquote|According to the average version of the [[UN]] forecast, Russia's population by 2050 may be about 133.4 million people, which is 14th in the world and below countries such as Egypt, the Philippines, and Mexico. But if Russia goes not according to the average, but according to the low option that is quite likely at the present time, then with a population of 123.2 million people we will drop to 16th place and will already be neighbors with Tanzania and Vietnam. Thus, the price of switching to the low scenario could be -10 million people, as well as a decrease in the place in the top countries in terms of population. Moreover, the low version of the UN forecast did not include too low or even negative migration growth.
A smaller population means a country's lower economic potential, a shrinking domestic market, worsening demographic problems and an aging population, as well as a decrease in the country's geopolitical power. The population size still correlates with the weight in international relations, the ability to promote their interests on the world stage. And the declining population for the largest country in the world may cause some neighbors on the continent, especially the eastern ones, to be tempted to solve their internal growing problems by some external adventures. But will Russia find anyone and how to fight back, will there be allies?<ref>[https://thebell.io/do-kontsa-veka-nas-khvatit-demograf-salavat-abylkalikov--o-tom-vymiraet-li-rossiya-i-chto-s-etim-delat?ref=en.thebell.io "Until the end of the century, we will be enough."
