demographer's link to an overview of the latest Goskomstat figures on Russia's population profile.
A brief summary? Russia's population is stabilizing, largely thanks to the rate of natural decrease, well, decreasing sharply, but also because of decreasing emigration from Russia and increasing immigration from the former Soviet Union with Central Asian states being particularly prominent sources. There's still unfavourable trends like the gap in life expectancies between women and men on the order of a decade, the only places with above-replacement fertility are ethnic republics like Tuva and Altai (comparisons with First Nations in Canada and elsewhere may be drawn), and the Central District is the main draw for internal migration and the Volga Federal District for international migration.
God, I love Google Translate, don't you?
