It should be stressed that current demographic situation is result of extermination of Russians by West (compare with Native Americans etc.). — Preceding

Then what does this have to do with this article? It's about the people living, giving birth, receiving education, aging, dying IN RUSSIA. If the US overtakes Russia someday, those issues may be relevant with this article. But clearly it's not today.

Here's this bit the U.S. Department of State had with the "HIV/AIDS" and "population aging" sections:
The high growth rate of AIDS cases will have negative economic consequences, as investment will suffer from the diversion of private and government funds to AIDS treatment. The problems of population aging will be magnified, especially since about 60% of infected individuals in Russia are between 20 and 30 years of age.
Feel free to add it if you can find a way to do it without feeling like a callous bastard for reducing terminal illness to negative economic consequences. signed, the typically aspiring-to-logic-and-NPOV

I saw a table for France which shows the population of the region dating back to 50 B.C. How it went from a pop. of 2 million to current standards. Is it at all possible to add a table like that for Russia? Chicken
I live in Russia and I've never heard of any major cholera outbreak, and the few minor outbreaks that occurred were treated with utmost resolution. Cholera is not a significant risk for any region of Russia I've been to (can't say for remote ones).
Either provide credible statistics or get your facts straight.

Umm, you're education figures don't add up: (99.99 + 97.01)/2 != 98! It's more like 98.5%. I took the liberty to change that. On the other hand, very nice picture of Church of Christ Our Saviour. Whoever put that in, (and I don't usually compliment Wikipedians) but you rock dude/dudette! Very nice image.
Can anyone explain why there are so many of Siberian people in Ukraine??? (Orocks,Negidals,Nivkh.etc). Is this because Ukranians falsely identifying as Siberians? See

Becouse of antisemtism exact numbers isn't know. But real numbers are much more higher, than official statistics. Same goes for tatars and other minorities, becouse of fear of xenophobia exact official numbers are greatly smaller than real.
The article should be much clearer on what areas are included in the older data. Does "Russia" in 1927, 1939 etc mean the RSFSR (essentially = modern-day Russia), or the Soviet Union? Where do I go if I want to find out the population growth of Imperial Russia (in its entirety) up till 1914?

Do we have any good statistical data on the Russian birth rate after the events of the
Russian invasion of Ukraine, the resultant
sanctions on Russia, and the stepped up
emigration? Seems there are some marked changes in the socio/cultural environment year-on-year, but I've not been able to locate any good data on the monthly birth rates after the start of the war.
I see some debate in the previous section about 2022 total population... but nothing on what the birth rate has been doing the past five or six months.

If there is going to be information there would be most definitely be on Russia's statistical website of
ROSSTAT (recommend getting Chrome if you don't have it as it offers translation features for non-English web pages). I don't have much time at the moment to do a full deep dive of the data or if there exists any better sources with more up to date stuff but on ROSSTAT anyway for the
birth rate it comes under (google translated) 'Vital movement of the population' (Естественное движение населения) and goes up to 2021 (not sure if that is the latest on this page anyway).

Thanks,
Tweedle. I suppose the with most of this nation state statistical info, we're mostly stuck with what the government publishes. Do we know if Russian institution at ROSSSTAT tend to just report real data? Or do they get their "data" filtered through a
Siloviki handler? I would assume there might be some western intelligence data that also reports on Russian statistics, but it all gets kind of complicated to chase down.

I would not have a clue on that front no sorry. Usually births and deaths are calculated (and thus the crude birth/death rate) by collections via the registry (of said country) of registered deaths and births for said period, whether that's handled by one of those people I am not sure but I would assume not on lists of ministries noted down? I can't say for certain sadly.
On the point of secondary sources, usually you can additionally go off of stuff provided and calculated by higher international bodies such as the UN and their
World Population Prospects for example in this case, however I usually would say it is best to wait intill the government of respective nation states put stuff out unless its an exceedingly long period of time they have not updated such stuff. There are currently estimates on the WPP if you would like to have a look anyway (last update for it was in November 2022).
On your article linked, try
here (you can usually circumvent such stuff via archive.today but you didn't hear that from me :) ). There seems to be good emigration figures on there if you want to add them anyway, additionally on
here as well which covers it in more detail.

If Russia's statistics office counts the annexed areas in their population figure, I'd say that number should go into the article, but we have to have a note that explains this and notes that the annexations aren't internationally recognized. Ideally, the number of people that were added by counted the annexed areas should also be shown. I will add a note that annexed areas may not be included and that the annexations aren't recognized by most countries. We have that note for Crimea anyway already, so I hope everyone will be ok with this. Thanks everyone! --

That's perfectly fine @

Population up in 2022?
I have noticed that the population in 2022 ticked up despite a birth deficit, war deaths and emigration. Is this because the annexed areas are counted in the Russian population? I wouldn't say that's necessarily wrong if Russia's statistics office counted them at the end of 2022, but there would have to be a note explaining this and also noting that the annexation is not recognized by the vast majority of countries worldwide.

The infobox gives a population of "144,699,673 (excluding Crimea)" I would suggest to change that into "(pre-2014 borders)" or something to that effect, because Russia has annexed more regions in addition to Crimea and I suppose these aren't included as well.

Crimea should be completely excluded as the absolute majority of United Nations member countries recognize this as Ukrainian territory under temporary occupation. — Preceding

Infobox issues
Growth rate: -0.39 (2020) -- What are the units here? I assume it is people but is that per day/month/year/decade/census period?
Increase/Decrease arrows -- as compared to ??? Is that from previous years numbers, some previous Census numbers?
