Russian population decline has been compensated for with a great number of immigrants from Central Asia (plus occupied Crimea; that's not recognized internationally but is obviously a factor for their economy). It'd probably be more like 138 million modulo those and their children, perhaps less.

As you can see it's also growing in 2022, despite there being consistently more deaths than births for years on end. I suppose we can infer what this means. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Russia#After_WW2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Russia#After_W...
