The aim of the study was to study modern approaches to assessing the demographic consequences of the Great Patriotic War, affecting the current problems of the demographic development of Russia. In our country, the period of the 20th and first twenty years of the 21st centuries is caused by a series of catastrophic events related to wars (the First World War, the Civil War and finally the Great Patriotic War), which subsequently led to a sharp decrease in the birth rate. There was no active replenishment of the population by the younger generation in the country, in the period of increasing compensatory birth rates, which was called in the foreign literature as “baby boom”. The Demographic Funnel of the 1990s exacerbated the situation. In the future, Russia will face a decline in the demographic structural wave; depopulation will continue. The most important priority of the demographic policy of the state in the long term, at least until 2035, taking into account the possible time out of the structural demographic pit, it is necessary not only to stabilize the total birth rate, but also to contribute to its growth.
