Russia's shrinking population can stop it from gaining SuperPower status

[Sergi]

Yes it is one of our biggest problems. The birth rates are very low due to highly educated people, combined with very high death rates make a big problem for Russia. The death rate is very high because of alcohol addiction. Most of these deaths are due to alcohol-related deaths.

This is a problem that has to be tackled immediately. Hope measures limiting alcohol consumption is taken. This seems the only way.

Your problem is due to your state policy of "one child". I don't think Russia has any kinda that policy. You might be right of death rate but what's problem with birth rate ??? Russian population is thinning is hard to understand

This is true my frnd. But Russians are known for facing problems. We will overcome this

The biggest fear for Russia declining population is in eastern Siberia bordering China's Northeast. There are 6 million Russian here and is declining fast because of harsh environments and reduction of military staffs etc. There are 100 million Chinese across the border and many already moved across and buying up all the cheap lands for farming and other uses. There are no infrastructure or supplies on the Russian side and her denizens have to cross over China to buy the most basic things they need. In a few years the Chinese will take over all the commercial interests in many desolated towns and cities.

This trend will continued and within 50 years the Chinese probably will take over these vast area without a single shot being fired.

You might want to run that thought by Kremlin, see how they feel about it....

i am aware about immigrations, emptyness of Siberia and 90 million Chinese on the other side, however owning markets in border cities is a far cry from owning the land.

A good article on the subject by Spiegel, from last year but still illustrates nicely...

139 million people in more than 6 million sq miles, damn. Thats a biga** country.

BD has more than 150 million people in 55000 sq miles.

thats true but also alot of that is frozen ,barren terrain like siberia BD is tiny but it's very warm,lush and fertile and much more hospitable fit for human life.

we just read yesterday aht Russia has record population growth under putin

Population is shrinking. The population growth you have read, should be because of immigration of Russians from former Soviet States.

Russia should take some people from South Asia, which is over populated.

and problem solved

Russia is a geological paradise. Its abundant in minerals , its vast and its extremely difficult to guard its vast boundaries. But ppl cannot withstand temperatures below -30 to -40 degrees as much as we do . Russian 'win'ter has won us many wars.

ha ha funny Generally in the tropics te population is higher as conditions favorable for having children

They can take the disrespectful, flag burning Afgan refugees and Baloch militants from us if they want. It'd be a kind of zakat, anyway.

Hahaha! Bangla leaches in India? You mean the refugees right? I thought they were well adjusted and happier in India than they were in BD.

That's the problem, they can't stop loitering around & smell like hell !

I think that is unfair, I know some Kolkotans with parents who crossed over from BD, and they are some very intelligent and honest, hard working people. Maybe most of them are in poverty which is why they fit those descriptions but you can't generalize. Of course though, you would know better and are in a better position to judge.

Look who is talking , 40% Indian let it go out in the open. The stench of that is unbearable, maybe not to an Indian. We need to place giant air filter all around BD.
