Russia's population has been declining, moving from around 144.7 million in 2021 to projections of roughly 143.5-145 million by 2024-2025, with forecasts suggesting continued gradual decreases through 2026, potentially falling below 145 million or even to the low 143 million range by mid-decade due to low birth rates and migration trends.
Key Figures & Trends (2021-2026)
2021: Around
144.7 - 147.2 million (census data shows higher, but figures vary).
2024: Estimated
around 143.6 - 146.1 million.
2025: Projected
around 143.5 - 146.0 million.
2026: Projected to be around 143.2 - 145.5 million (depending on scenario).
Underlying Factors
Declining
Trend: Most projections show a decrease in total population, with some
expecting annual drops of around 400,000.
Low
Fertility: Russia's fertility rate (around 1.4 children per woman) is
below the replacement level of 2.1.
Migration: While
migration provides some buffer, it hasn't offset natural declines.
In summary, expect Russia's population to hover around the mid-140 millions, generally decreasing, with figures around 143-145 million expected for 2026.
