Demographic Downfall: European Russia’s Hidden Disaster 🇷🇺

This map reveals a startling truth — most of European Russia is shrinking fast. From 1989 to 2025:

🔴 Many regions have lost over 30% of their population.
📍Komi Republic: -43.3%
📍Murmansk Oblast: -43.2%
📍Arkhangelsk Oblast: -39.7%
📍Karelia: -34.5%

Meanwhile, only a few urban centers like:
🟢 Moscow (+47.9%),
🟢 Moscow Oblast (+31%),
🟢 Krasnodar Krai (+24.8%)
…have seen significant growth — driven by internal migration and economic opportunity.

Despite an 8.5 million net migrant inflow, the total population in European Russia is still declining.
