=== In the economic sphere ===
The demographic crisis has a positive economic effect on the second stage of the changing age structure of the population (the fraction of the average working-age generation is maximal at a relatively small proportion of younger and older) and a negative economic effect on the third stage of the changing age structure of the population (when the proportion of the older generation is maximal at a relatively small share younger and middle generation). By 2025, Russia will have labor shortages.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Старостин|first=Алексей|title=Свобода перемещения трудовых ресурсов в ЕАЭС к 2025 году|url=https://russiancouncil.ru/analytics-and-comments/analytics/svoboda-peremeshcheniya-trudovykh-resursov-v-eaes-k-2025-godu-/|access-date=2022-02-06|website=russiancouncil.ru|language=ru|archive-date=2023-09-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230929024610/https://russiancouncil.ru/analytics-and-comments/analytics/svoboda-peremeshcheniya-trudovykh-resursov-v-eaes-k-2025-godu-/|url-status=live}}</ref>

In the Second World War, the [[Eastern Front (World War II)|Eastern Front]] was one of the most costly theaters of the war, accounting up to 40 million of the [[World War II casualties|70–85 million deaths]] attributed to World War II.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Eastern Front |url=https://www.americanheritagemuseum.org/exhibits/world-war-ii/eastern-front/ |access-date=2025-06-12 |website=The American Heritage Museum |language=en-US}}</ref> The [[Soviet Union]] in particular had exceptionally heavily demographic damage, Russia alone losing as much as 13 million people.<ref name=":02" /> Because young men bore the brunt of war losses, the war left Russia with a huge lack of men compared to women.<ref name=":12">{{Cite report |url=https://www.rand.org/pubs/issue_papers/IP162.html |title=Russia's Demographic 'Crisis': How Real Is It? |last1=Adamson |first1=David M. |last2=DaVanzo |first2=Julie |date=1997-01-01 |language=en}}</ref> Even in 1959, men still made up less than 45% of the overall population.<ref name=":02" />
[[File:Russia animated population pyramid.gif|thumb|The age structure of the population of Russia, 1946-2023]]
Despite a relatively stable birth rate after the war, after the 1960s, Russia had begin to experience demographic ageing; the proportion of those 60 and older doubled between 1959 and 1990.<ref name=":02" /><ref name=":12" /> 

Despite [[Population ageing|population aging]], the population of Russia remained relatively young and had many women of childbearing age, which would compensate for fertility decline and thus continue population growth; the population increased by 45,760,000 people from 1951 to 1990.<ref name=":02" /><ref name=":12" />

However, starting in the early 1990s, the aged structure of the population had eventually morphed in a way that would start prompting population decline not growth, and the fertility crash following the [[dissolution of the Soviet Union]] only further enforced this.<ref name=":12" /> This was not unique to Russia, and such issues have been felt in many developed countries and increasingly in many developing countries as well.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The EU is ageing and in need of care - here's what that might mean for its economic future |url=https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/10/eu-ageing-society-care-cost/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230930004910/https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/10/eu-ageing-society-care-cost/ |archive-date=2023-09-30 |access-date=2023-01-15 |website=[[World Economic Forum]] |language=en}}</ref>[[File:Deserted village at Sukhona River.jpg|thumb|Thousands of [[abandoned village]]s are scattered across Russia.<ref>{{cite news |title=Russia's decaying villages |url=https://www.aljazeera.com/gallery/2014/5/2/russias-decaying-villages |work=Al Jazeera |date=2 May 2014 |archive-date=1 July 2023 |access-date=1 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230701145913/https://www.aljazeera.com/gallery/2014/5/2/russias-decaying-villages |url-status=live }}</ref>]]
Currently, the share of people aged 65 and older in the population of Russia is 13%. According to forecasts of the Russian Academy of Sciences from the early 2000s, in 2016 elderly people aged 60 and over would have accounted for 20% of Russians, and children up to 15 years old would only have made up 17%. However, in Russia, in contrast to other countries, aging is limited by high mortality among older people.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=Russia's Demographic Crisis |url=https://www.wilsoncenter.org/publication/russias-demographic-crisis |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170705223345/https://www.wilsoncenter.org/publication/russias-demographic-crisis |archive-date=2017-07-05 |access-date=2023-01-15 |website=www.wilsoncenter.org |date=7 July 2011 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Timonin |first1=Sergey |last2=Klimkin |first2=Ilya |last3=Shkolnikov |first3=Vladimir M. |last4=Andreev |first4=Evgeny |last5=McKee |first5=Martin |last6=Leon |first6=David A. |date=March 2022 |title=Excess mortality in Russia and its regions compared to high income countries: An analysis of monthly series of 2020 |journal=SSM - Population Health |volume=17 |article-number=101006 |doi=10.1016/j.ssmph.2021.101006 |issn=2352-8273 |pmc=8717231 |pmid=35005187}}</ref>

In 2020, over 500,000 deaths were attributed to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], bringing the total deaths since its onset to approximately 700,000. Although 2021 was initially projected to have less impact on mortality, death rates still surpassed birth rates. President [[Vladimir Putin]]'s plan to overturn the stagnation was announced in 2017 in response to the downward trend. However the plan only partially helped in their demographic crisis and was hindered by the Pandemic, despite showing signs of recovery.
