> Russia has lost over seven million people in the painful transition from

communism to capitalism, according to preliminary census data released on
Wednesday.
>
> The steepest peace time population decline in world history has been

partially offset by immigrants, reducing the net fall to just under 2
million people. According to preliminary results from the October census,
Russia lost 7.4 million people since the previous census in 1989, but more
than 5.5 million migrants from other former Soviet republics have entered
the country.
>
> Demographers have blamed this trend on declining birth rates and lower

life expectancy linked to social and economic upheavals caused by the
chaotic pro-market reforms of the 1990s. The birth rate has halved and life
expectancy for men has fallen to 58 years.

> Russia today has 145.5 million people, making it the seventh most populous

nation after China, India, the United States, Indonesia, Brazil and
Pakistan. But its population may further shrink by 30 per cent to 101.9
million by the end of 2050, the State Statistics Committee reported last
year. This poses a national security threat, as the country may not be able
to hold on to its vast territory, experts warned.In Siberia, there are fewer
than 8 people per square km in comparison with an overall density figure for
China of 122.
