Depopulation is one of the main contemporary challenges to the Russian state. Depopulation is a serious problem for many developed countries of the world. Even a high social model of consumption does not save from depopulation. Currently, many Western countries are trying in vain to resolve their own demographic crisis. However, this problem was not solved, but they actually caused an acute crisis of the political superstructures of the EU by their actions. They gave euro skeptics an opportunity to question the very existence of the EU. In our Fatherland, the severity of the demographic crisis generated by depopulation is aggravated by both geographical and historical circumstances. In the twentieth century, Russia lost tens of millions of its citizens during the First World War, the Civil War, the Great Patriotic War, the famine of the twenties and forties, and millions of its citizens left the country forever. Social and military shocks prevented the natural course of Russian demographic processes, distorted the age and sex pyramids of the country's population, thus giving rise to numerous and endless challenges to the demographic development of the USSR, which have not been eliminated until now. The death of the USSR led to the fact that thirty million Russian people remained outside of Russia. This has complicated the situation with new challenges that are to be solved by the Russian Federation now. All this creates a real threat to the security of our state. These are the challenges of underpopulation; challenges of structural demographic changes, low birth rates; high mortality challenges; internal migration challenges; immigration challenges, emigration challenges.
