Russia's population decreasing
mardi 9 septembre 2014 à 14:00Russia's population has been decreasing for over 20 years; Russians die younger and have few children. One author says this is because Russian society has learned to give up hope.
If that is true — I don't take it as certain — then it probably relates to the cruel capitalism that took over Russia in 1991. The same thing might happen in the US if the plutocrats cement their power.
