What makes you so sure, people, that Russians are crazy about immegrating?

It IS a connection no matter how small. But the main reason for the decline in population is that young people just don't feel financially secure enough to have large families.
And this may be taboo, but the rate of abortion is also very high.

Becouse the connection between population in Russia and immigration is very small.

Yes there is, You live in Russia and probably don't notice. but there is a large number of Russians living in USA and Canada.

what do you mean small? are millions that small to you? no matter how small, there is still a connection.

I'm tied to repeat once and ones again. Ok. I'll try another way. AS SASHENKA SAID, THE POPULATION depends on the situation in the state, and on the first place there are - born children and died people, immigratoin is not on the first place.
More there. How can anybody say that Russian population exactly became lower on ...%, when the last official accounting of people in the country took place in 1989?!!

That's right.But since 1989 we had three major waves of imm
igration of population.The first one was in 1991-1993,the second one 1995-1996 and then 1998.Millions of people left
Russia back then.Do the Math.!!! OF COURSE,since 1989 the %of population decreased.The truth is,the connection between
immigration and population is very strong!I don't understand how you can ignore that millions left the country
and say that it has nothing to do with population in the country.I agree with benCA!!!

Give me any official statistics about that "millions of immigrants", then I'll speak with you.

[Sashenka]

There is no reason to be so stubborn.It is ,obviously,very hard for you to admit certain facts.Didn't you asked :"don't generalise..." ???
I will,most certainly,give you the numbers.I just need more time.Shpulka!you are killing me!

you two are funny, i enjoy reading your posts, and then laughing, sorry, but you two just crack me up.


I don't know any official numbers. but I see what I see. I know that there are close to a million Russians living in New York City, Washington area, Sacramento area, and Minneapolis area. and that's the places I've been to. not even talking about other areas.
The city I live, is pretty Small City, about 55,000 but a lot of Russians live here. We have two Russian stores here.
