Russia Threatened by Plummeting Population

Far more Russians are dying at a relatively young age than babies are being born to replace them. The result is a precipitous population decline that threatens Russia's economic well-being and perhaps even the ability to safeguard its huge territory. VOA Moscow Correspondent Peter Fedynsky examines some of the reasons and consequences of the Russian demographic crisis

@afrikanbadboy The most expensive thing one can do today is to have children. That is why the white population is on a decline world wide. Once a group or race moves into the good life then they tend to have less children. It pretty much puts a real end to empires or calphites. If all of the white people disappeared today then some other race would file the void and the situation would be the same but just with different races.

@strizhi

Here are the facts. The Russian federation has 140 million people spread thinly over the largest land mass in the world. Which is about the same population of Nigeria. The Russian federation can barely defend Moscow let alone the far reaches of the East that border the USA. Oh, by the way, the USA is now 300 million and growing.

@chairde You're an idiot....have you kept up at all with current Russia. This year there is now a rise of population - just go look for yourself quit being told what to think and know and do your own research. Sheep are weak remember that.
