For the first time since 1975, Russia has a negative migration balance, and by the end of the year, the population will decrease by more than a million
The "partial mobilisation" announced on September 21 provoked an unprecedented mass and intensive flow of citizens from the country, which became the second wave of anti-war emigration since late February. The data on the first wave is approximate. Still, the negative balance of migration in the first half of the year reached about 100 thousand people, according to a demographic survey of the Institute of Demography of the Higher School of Economics, "Demoscope Weekly".
