Just take this result with a pinch of salt. The census data is not reliable. Russia, like China arent publishing their data for western to analyse. If you have been to some Russian cities (I have been to Moscow and St P), they are booming there....as in having GDP growth greater than what you are seeing in San Fra for example. This is similar misinformation about Russian fighting with just shovels and dying by hundreds of Ks. The reality isn't matching those literature.
