PROBLEMY DEMOGRAFICZNE FEDERACJI ROSYJSKIEJ
DEMOGRAPHIC PROBLEMS OF RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the evolution of the demographic situation of the RussianFederation in the context of general demographic patterns and geopolitical processes thataffect all spheres of social life. The author shows that the demographic catastrophe thathas occurred in Russia in recent decades is a process that has not been fully elucidated sofar. Despite its distinctness, the demographic situation in Russia now has manyanalogies with that which takes place in Western European countries - this isparticularly about the rapid aging of the population and its extinction, and the massinflux of immigrants, in particular from Muslim countries. In the most vivid way it isvisible in the Russian Far East, from where the Russian population emigrates, and in itsplace, the Chinese quickly appear. In the conclusions, the author points out the need tochange the policy of the Russian authorities, which should prevent the effects ofdemographic decline and seek to increase demographic dynamics and, on the other hand,lead to the control of the spontaneous flow of culturally alien migrants that threatensthe security of the state. The development of demographic forecasts is not supported bymutually contradictory statistics, which are most likely to be manipulated andunreliable.
