1. As usual Mediazona means somehow confirmed: Russian press, death registers, relatives …
   it is like Oryx. Numbers lower because some confirmation is needed.
   Meanwhile fontanka.ru had:
   “…
   “The situation is unpleasant, but not critical.” People are dying more often in Russia
   Rosstat reported on the demographic situation in Russia for the first two months of 2024.
   The birth rate is approximately the same, but the death rate suddenly increased,
   in some regions by 34%.
   Why people are dying more often in Russia and in which regions the strongest families are found in the text of Fontanka.
   …
   Demographer and former Rosstat specialist Alexey Raksha emphasized that in winter mortality, in principle, increases, another question is that by different amounts. “This time she has grown a lot. And in peacetime this is a big surprise,” he said.
   Alexey Raksha associated this increase in mortality with infectious diseases. “As a rule, in winter, mortality is associated with infections. It’s either the flu virus or maybe covid.
   …”

   What a fool. Who has ever heard about a lead infection.
   34 percent. This can only be related to e-scooters.
   If they withdraw all T-90, Gvozdika, BMP etc electric scooters from Ukraine, the situation will automatically improve.

2. What about the thousands of Russian bodies that still lay where they died in Ukraine. Plus thousand of bodies that Russia refuse to take back. I can imagine this number being 6-8 times higher.

3. I’m more curious how many Russian missing in action there are or if Russian prison deaths are being reported

4. FWIW the US estimates over 85k Russian dead based on new pensions

5. Only every 10th? They did not put much effort in that.

6. What about the other 5000,000
