Abstract

In the course of 2019, the number of Russia’s resident population declined by
35.6 thousand persons. Decline demonstrates a downward trend for a second year
in a row. Population decline in seen in 2019–2020 is due to natural loss while net
migration stopped offsetting it. In 2019, the mortality rate surpassed the birth
rate by 316.2 thousand persons by 41.7 % more (93 thousand persons) against
2018. In 2019, the number of live births totaled 1,484.5 thousand persons down
by 7.5 % (120 thousand persons) year-on-year. The absolute mortality rate stood
at 1,800.7 thousand cases down by 1.5 % (down by 27.2 thousand) against 2018.
Obviously, the spread of coronavirus pandemic will tell on the mortality rates,
however is it impossible to project the situation in detail.
