Notes

The Russia Population (Live) counter shows a continuously updated estimate of the current population of the Russian Federation delivered by Worldometer's RTS algorithm, which processes data collected from the United Nations Population Division.

The Population of Russia (1950 - 2019) chart plots the total population count as of July 1 of each year, from 1950 to 2019. The Yearly Population Growth Rate chart plots the annual percentage changes in population registered on July 1 of each year, from 1951 to 2019. This value can differ from the Yearly % Change shown in the historical table, which shows the last year equivalent percentage change assuming homogeneous change in the preceding five year period.

Definitions

Year: as of July 1 of the year indicated.

Population: Overall total population (both sexes and all ages) in the country as of July 1 of the year indicated, as estimated by the United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division. World Population Prospects: The 2019 Revision. For forecasted years, the U.N. medium-fertility variant is used.
