Births in Russia stand at 1200 k/year, while the natural population decline is 650 k/year. The war adds a male imbalance (58 index 0–100/100 on the stress scale), emigration of skilled workers (700 k people) and a labour shortage of 10 mln people. Charts below show the annual history wherever a public series exists.
