Is it true that less than 90 million people live in Russia?

According to numerous publications on the Russian -speaking Internet, the Russian authorities hide the present number of citizens of the country - in fact there are about 89 million of them. We checked whether the authors of such materials are right.

The first texts that the population of Russia is more than a third below official data began to appear shortly after the 2010 population census. According to its results in the country It lived About 143 million people. Citizens doubted in these data began to spread message The fact that the results of the census are falsified and in reality in the country less than 90 million people live. In March 2011, the content of this message Used In his criticism of power, the State Duma deputy from the Fair Russia party Alexander Burkov. The same text in almost unchanged form was quoted by Internet users in 2016, and c 2018, and c 2020 year.

The initial material, which contained Pravda about the population of Russia, was a message from a certain Ekaterina Ulitina. Most often, it was quoted as follows: “I work in the Central Analytical Center of Russia in the department (registry office). As of June 1, 2010, in Russia, according to the documents, the living population of 89,654,325 people, and not 142,000,000, as stated in the census. In 2009, 5,000,854 people died. In the period from 01.01.2010 to June 1, 2010, 4,678,856 people died. Each quarter of the government records our reports, but real numbers will be completely different. I will not be surprised if the next census shows the population growth. 60 % of the population of Russia of average retirement age 67 years. For 10-15 years, mortality is expected about 40,000,000 people. ” (Author's spelling and punctuation is preserved).

Can the information provided by Ulitina be any reliable? To begin with, we find out if she is really a specialist in demography or statistics. Search requests "Ekaterina Ulitina" give links to living in Stockholm architect and Petersburg actress, but the vast majority are materials containing the above message about false official statistics. In 2018, the public “Convention of Rights” in VKontakte reportedthat after the publication of the “real” statistics, the girl was fired, and she was also “politely advised her to keep their tongue behind the teeth.” The material was not equipped with references to sources, and the public itself is difficult to calculate the provocative confidence. Its authors make publications on the danger of vaccination and wearing masks, secret conspiracies, “laws of the universe and energy of money”, the differences between the “male avatar from the female” and much more. We could not find the mention of Ulitina outside the context of the cited quote, as well as the Central Analytical Center of Russia in the registry office, where she allegedly worked. Apparently, such an institution does not exist at all. Perhaps meant Analytical center under the government of the Russian Federation, but on the website of this department There are no references About such an employee.

In some materials, the authors of which used the message Ulitina, there are attempts to understand where the number of 89.6 million people came from. For example, on the website finnews.ru Approvedthat such a population approximately corresponds to the number of people that Russia can feed on the basis of the average annual grain crops. A similar methodology is very popular among conspiracy therapists who thus calculated: the entire population of the planet It is About 1.5 billion people, and the world government is deceiving ordinary people to make them easier to control. There is no reason to believe such assessments of the population of Russia and the world. Of course, state statistics cannot be absolutely accurate in matters of demography, but almost double exaggeration is not confirmed by any serious arguments. In 2020, the population of Russia composed 146.8 million people.
