       Most countries have a "population pyramid". But Russia's adult population is more like a turnip, with very few young people and a middle aged bulge. Not a good structure if you are fighting a war Pic is from 2020, before mass emigration, war casualties etc

       @johnquiggin makes it clear why Russia has been abducting then adopting out Ukrainian children. Kind of scary, to be honest

       @johnquiggin that’s a lot more boys than girls, up to about age 25. Gender selective abortions?

       @johnquiggin Russia also has a horrifying loss of about 1/8 of 45-49yo men rising   to about 1/4 of the 55-65s. So a big hokd in the nob-mobilised workforce too. Probably mostly due to alcohol. They've also gone to war at a demographic minimum of 18-29yo men to mobilise.But Ukraine's demographics are even worse! https://www.populationpyramid.net/ukraine/2022/
