Migration rates in vital statistics table are different from those from Rosstat. It looks like that migration rates and population changes rates in the tabble were calculated on the basis of average population and vital statistics in the table. For example, there is a high immigration rate in 2014 when Crimea is annexed. Unsourced data for migration and population change rate should be deleted. This would make this data incorrect, because the difference between two average populations isn't equal to population change in a given year. Givibidou ( talk) 20:28, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
I recommend removing the misleading "largest country in the world” phrase and link. This of course is true about the land area or total surface area of the territory of Russia, but it is not true when referring to population. Since this article is about demographics, we should assume that population is the unit of measurement. An alternative would be to refer to “the nineth largest country in the world” with a link to /info/en/?search=List_of_countries_and_dependencies_by_population -- 2601:1C2:1900:F2A0:84A9:E442:35EC:E282 ( talk) 05:54, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
The Russian fertility rate is 1.5 which is equal to the European Union average and many individual Western European nations such as Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, Norway, Belgium etc. It is misleading to be calling this "among the lowest in the world". This statement cannot be precisely quantified, and such a statement isn't made for the EU, or any other European country with a similar fertility rate, which points towards a bias.

It would be in my view interesting to read about what demographic effetcs can be expected resulting from the Russian invation into the Ukraine. I tried to google it but didn't find realible facts. But for sure some research has been done regarding brain drain, drop of birth rate due to the uncertain future and the economic downturn due to sanctions, the effets of emigration and the death of such a lot of Russian soldiers. -- Hg6996 ( talk) 06:02, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
Responding to the suggestion by Jdcooper, my position would be the following:
1. The Demographic crisis of Russia is relatively superficial and doesn't add significant knowledge or insights to what is already available here.
2. As stated by Jdcooper, the title itself is provocative and we already have a hard time maintaining the encyclopedic standards of the current article against partisan viewpoints and outright trolls.
So my position would be a strong no. There is certainly room on Wikipedia for a solid discussion of the current demographic trajectory of Russia, but trying to incorporate it here would be an invitation to even more edit wars.

In the Vital Statistics section, it says the population of Russia went up to above 147 million in 2022, despite many Covid deaths and a large birth deficit. Is this because they are including the annexed areas? If so, shouldn't the total population then be higher? (Donetsk and Luhansk alone have several million people)? In that case we would also have to adjust the note below which says all numbers don't include the annexed regions. Chaptagai ( talk) 10:52, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
