An excerpt characterizing the population of Mordovia

“Yes, I have discovered a new happiness, inalienable from a person,” he thought, lying in a dark, quiet hut and looking ahead with feverishly open, fixed eyes. Happiness that is outside of material forces, outside of material external influences on a person, the happiness of one soul, the happiness of love! Every person can understand it, but only God can recognize and prescribe it. But how did God prescribe this law? Why son?.. And suddenly the train of these thoughts was interrupted, and Prince Andrei heard (not knowing whether he was in delirium or in reality he was hearing this), he heard some quiet, whispering voice, incessantly repeating in rhythm: “And drink piti drink” then “and ti tii” again “and piti piti piti” again “and ti ti.” At the same time, to the sound of this whispering music, Prince Andrei felt that some strange airy building made of thin needles or splinters was erected above his face, above the very middle. He felt (although it was difficult for him) that he had to diligently maintain his balance so that the building that was being erected would not collapse; but it still fell down and slowly rose again at the sounds of steadily whispering music. “It’s stretching!” stretches! stretches and everything stretches,” Prince Andrei said to himself. Along with listening to the whisper and feeling this stretching and rising building of needles, Prince Andrei saw in fits and starts the red light of a candle surrounded in a circle and heard the rustling of cockroaches and the rustling of a fly beating on the pillow and on his face. And every time the fly touched his face, it produced a burning sensation; but at the same time he was surprised by the fact that, hitting the very area of ​​​​the building erected on his face, the fly did not destroy it. But besides this, there was one more important thing. It was white by the door, it was a sphinx statue that was also crushing him.
“But maybe this is my shirt on the table,” thought Prince Andrei, “and these are my legs, and this is the door; but why is everything stretching and moving forward and piti piti piti and tit ti - and piti piti piti... - Enough, stop, please, leave it, - Prince Andrei begged someone heavily. And suddenly the thought and feeling emerged again with extraordinary clarity and strength.
“Yes, love,” he thought again with perfect clarity), but not the love that loves for something, for something or for some reason, but the love that I experienced for the first time, when, dying, I saw my enemy and still fell in love with him. I experienced that feeling of love, which is the very essence of the soul and for which no object is needed. I still experience this blissful feeling. Love your neighbors, love your enemies. To love everything - to love God in all manifestations. You can love a dear person with human love; but only an enemy can be loved with divine love. And from this I experienced such joy when I felt that I loved that person. What about him? Is he alive... Loving with human love, you can move from love to hatred; but divine love cannot change. Nothing, not death, nothing can destroy it. She is the essence of the soul. And how many people have I hated in my life. And of all the people, I have never loved or hated anyone more than her.” And he vividly imagined Natasha, not the way he had imagined her before, with only her charm, joyful for himself; but for the first time I imagined her soul. And he understood her feeling, her suffering, shame, repentance. Now for the first time he understood the cruelty of his refusal, saw the cruelty of his break with her. “If only it were possible for me to see her just one more time. Once, looking into these eyes, say..."
And piti piti piti and ti ti ti, and piti piti - boom, a fly hit... And his attention was suddenly transferred to another world of reality and delirium, in which something special was happening. Still in this world, everything was erected without collapsing, a building, something was still stretching, the same candle was burning with a red circle, the same sphinx shirt was lying at the door; but, besides all this, something creaked, there was a smell of fresh wind, and a new white sphinx, standing, appeared in front of the door. And in the head of this sphinx there was the pale face and sparkling eyes of the very Natasha about whom he was now thinking.
“Oh, how heavy is this incessant nonsense!” - thought Prince Andrei, trying to banish this face from his imagination. But this face stood before him with the force of reality, and this face came closer. Prince Andrei wanted to return to the former world of pure thought, but he could not, and delirium drew him into its realm. The quiet whispering voice continued its measured babble, something was pressing, stretching, and a strange face stood in front of him. Prince Andrey gathered all his strength to come to his senses; he moved, and suddenly his ears began to ring, his eyes grew dim, and he, like a man plunged into water, lost consciousness. When he woke up, Natasha, the same living Natasha, whom of all the people in the world he most wanted to love with that new, pure divine love that was now open to him, was kneeling before him. He realized that it was a living, real Natasha, and was not surprised, but was quietly happy. Natasha, on her knees, scared but chained (she could not move), looked at him, holding back her sobs. Her face was pale and motionless. Only in the lower part of it was something trembling.
Prince Andrei sighed with relief, smiled and extended his hand.
- You? - he said. - How happy!
Natasha, with a quick but careful movement, moved towards him on her knees and, carefully taking his hand, bent over her face and began to kiss her, barely touching her lips.
- Sorry! - she said in a whisper, raising her head and looking at him. - Excuse me!
“I love you,” said Prince Andrei.
- Sorry…
- Forgive what? - asked Prince Andrei.
“Forgive me for what I did,” Natasha said in a barely audible, broken whisper and began to kiss her hand more often, barely touching her lips.
“I love you more, better than before,” said Prince Andrei, raising her face with his hand so that he could look into her eyes.
These eyes, filled with happy tears, timidly, compassionately and joyfully lovingly looked at him. Natasha’s thin and pale face with swollen lips was more than ugly, it was scary. But Prince Andrei did not see this face, he saw shining eyes that were beautiful. A conversation was heard behind them.
Peter the valet, now completely awake from his sleep, woke the doctor. Timokhin, who had not slept all the time from pain in his leg, had long seen everything that was being done, and, diligently covering his undressed body with a sheet, shrank on the bench.
- What is it? - said the doctor, rising from his bed. - Please go, madam.
At the same time, a girl sent by the Countess, who missed her daughter, knocked on the door.
Like a somnambulist who was awakened in the middle of her sleep, Natasha left the room and, returning to her hut, fell sobbing on her bed.

From that day, during the entire further journey of the Rostovs, at all rests and overnight stays, Natasha did not leave the wounded Bolkonsky, and the doctor had to admit that he did not expect from the girl either such firmness or such skill in caring for the wounded.
No matter how terrible the thought seemed to the countess that Prince Andrei could (very likely, according to the doctor) die during the journey in the arms of her daughter, she could not resist Natasha. Although, as a result of the now established rapprochement between the wounded Prince Andrei and Natasha, it occurred to him that in the event of recovery, the previous relationship of the bride and groom would be resumed, no one, least of all Natasha and Prince Andrei, spoke about this: the unresolved, hanging question of life or death is not only over Bolkonsky, but over Russia, overshadowed all other assumptions.

Pierre woke up late on September 3rd. His head ached, the dress in which he slept without undressing weighed down his body, and in his soul there was a vague consciousness of something shameful that had been committed the day before; This was a shameful conversation yesterday with Captain Rambal.
The clock showed eleven, but it seemed especially cloudy outside. Pierre stood up, rubbed his eyes and, seeing the pistol with a cut-out stock, which Gerasim had put back on the desk, Pierre remembered where he was and what lay ahead of him that very day.
“Am I too late? - thought Pierre. “No, he will probably make his entry into Moscow no earlier than twelve.” Pierre did not allow himself to think about what lay ahead of him, but was in a hurry to act as quickly as possible.
Having straightened his dress, Pierre took the pistol in his hands and was about to leave. But then for the first time the thought came to him about how, not in his hand, he could carry this weapon down the street. Even under a wide caftan it was difficult to hide a large pistol. It could not be placed inconspicuously either behind a belt or under an armpit. In addition, the pistol was unloaded, and Pierre did not have time to load it. “It’s all the same, it’s a dagger,” Pierre said to himself, although more than once, while discussing the fulfillment of his intention, he decided with himself that the student’s main mistake in 1809 was that he wanted to kill Napoleon with a dagger. But it's as if the main objective Pierre's goal was not to carry out his intended task, but to show himself that he did not renounce his intention and was doing everything to fulfill it. Pierre hastily took the blunt jagged dagger in a green sheath that he had bought from the Sukharev Tower along with the pistol. and hid it under his vest.
Having belted his caftan and pulled down his hat, Pierre, trying not to make noise and not meet the captain, walked along the corridor and went out into the street.
The fire that he had looked at so indifferently the night before had grown significantly overnight. Moscow was already burning from different sides. Karetny Ryad, Zamoskvorechye, Gostiny Dvor, Povarskaya, barges on the Moscow River and the wood market near the Dorogomilovsky Bridge were burning at the same time.
Pierre's path lay through the alleys to Povarskaya and from there to the Arbat, to St. Nicholas the Apparition, with whom he had long ago determined in his imagination the place where his deed should be carried out. Most of the houses had locked gates and shutters. The streets and alleys were deserted. The air smelled of burning and smoke. Occasionally we encountered Russians with anxiously timid faces and Frenchmen with a non-urban, camp look, walking along the middle of the streets. Both of them looked at Pierre in surprise. In addition to his great height and thickness, in addition to the strange, gloomily concentrated and suffering expression on his face and entire figure, the Russians looked closely at Pierre because they did not understand what class this man could belong to. The French followed him with their eyes in surprise, especially because Pierre, disgusted by all the other Russians who looked at the French in fear or curiosity, did not pay any attention to them. At the gate of one house, three Frenchmen, who were explaining something to Russian people who did not understand them, stopped Pierre, asking if he knew French?
Pierre shook his head negatively and moved on. In another alley, a sentry standing by a green box shouted at him, and only at the repeated menacing scream and the sound of a gun taken by the sentry on his hand did Pierre realize that he had to go around to the other side of the street. He heard and saw nothing around him. He, like something terrible and alien to him, carried his intention with haste and horror, afraid - taught by the experience of the previous night - to somehow lose it. But Pierre was not destined to convey his mood intact to the place where he was heading. In addition, even if he had not been delayed by anything on the way, his intention could not have been fulfilled simply because Napoleon had traveled more than four hours earlier from the Dorogomilovsky suburb through the Arbat to the Kremlin and was now sitting in the most gloomy mood in the Tsar’s office the Kremlin Palace and gave detailed, detailed orders about the measures that immediately had to be taken to extinguish the fire, prevent looting and calm the residents. But Pierre did not know this; He, completely absorbed in what was to come, suffered, as people suffer who stubbornly undertake an impossible task - not because of the difficulties, but because the task is unusual for their nature; he was tormented by the fear that he would weaken at the decisive moment and, as a result, lose self-respect.
Although he did not see or hear anything around him, he instinctively knew the way and did not make the mistake of taking the side streets that led him to Povarskaya.
As Pierre approached Povarskaya, the smoke became stronger and stronger, and there was even heat from the fire. Occasionally tongues of fire rose from behind the roofs of houses. There were more people on the streets, and these people were more anxious. But Pierre, although he felt that something extraordinary was happening around him, was not aware that he was approaching a fire. Walking along a path that ran through a large undeveloped place, adjacent on one side to Povarskaya, on the other to the gardens of Prince Gruzinsky’s house, Pierre suddenly heard the desperate cry of a woman next to him. He stopped, as if awakening from sleep, and raised his head.
To the side of the path, on the dry, dusty grass, household belongings were piled up: feather beds, a samovar, icons and chests. On the ground next to the chests sat an elderly, thin woman, with long protruding upper teeth, dressed in a black cloak and cap. This woman, rocking and saying something, cried sorely. Two girls, from ten to twelve years old, dressed in dirty short dresses and cloaks, looked at their mother with an expression of bewilderment on their pale, frightened faces. A smaller boy, about seven years old, wearing a suit and someone else’s huge cap, was crying in the arms of an old woman nanny. A barefoot, dirty girl sat on a chest and, having loosened her whitish braid, pulled back her singed hair, sniffing it. The husband, a short, stooped man in a uniform, with wheel-shaped sideburns and smooth temples visible from under a straight-on cap, with a motionless face, pushed apart the chests, placed one on top of the other, and pulled out some clothes from under them.
The woman almost threw herself at Pierre's feet when she saw him.
“Dear fathers, Orthodox Christians, save, help, my dear!.. someone help,” she said through sobs. - A girl!.. A daughter!.. They left my youngest daughter!.. She burned down! Oh oh oh! That's why I cherish you... Oh oh oh!
“That’s enough, Marya Nikolaevna,” the husband addressed his wife in a quiet voice, obviously only to justify himself to a stranger. - My sister must have taken it away, otherwise where else would I be? - he added.
- Idol! The villain! – the woman screamed angrily, suddenly stopping crying. “You have no heart, you don’t feel sorry for your brainchild.” Someone else would have pulled it out of the fire. And this is an idol, not a man, not a father. “You are a noble man,” the woman quickly turned to Pierre, sobbing. “It caught fire nearby,” he said to us. The girl screamed: it’s burning! They rushed to collect. They jumped out in what they were wearing... That's what they captured... God's blessing and a dowry bed, otherwise everything was lost. Grab the children, Katechka is gone. Oh my God! Ooo! – and again she began to sob. - My dear child, it burned! burned!
- Where, where did she stay? - said Pierre. From the expression on his animated face, his woman realized that this man could help her.
- Father! Father! – she screamed, grabbing his legs. “Benefactor, at least calm my heart... Aniska, go, you vile one, see her off,” she shouted at the girl, angrily opening her mouth and with this movement showing off her long teeth even more.
“Show me off, show me off, I’ll... I’ll... I’ll do it,” Pierre said hastily in a breathless voice.
The dirty girl came out from behind the chest, tidied up her braid and, sighing, walked forward along the path with her blunt bare feet. Pierre seemed to suddenly come to life after a severe faint. He raised his head higher, his eyes lit up with the sparkle of life, and he with quick steps he followed the girl, overtook her and went out to Povarskaya. The entire street was covered in a cloud of black smoke. Tongues of flame burst out here and there from this cloud. A large crowd of people crowded in front of the fire. A French general stood in the middle of the street and said something to those around him. Pierre, accompanied by the girl, approached the place where the general stood; but French soldiers stopped him.
“On ne passe pas, [They don’t pass here,”] a voice shouted to him.
- Here, uncle! - said the girl. - We'll go through the Nikulins along the alley.

Population dynamics of the Republic of Mordovia

N.N. Loginova

Being a national-territorial entity within the Russian Federation, Mordovia is characterized by a significant predominance of Russians in the national composition of the population: according to the 2002 census, their share was about 61% and almost twice the share of Mordovians - 31.9%. This was followed by Tatars (5.2%), Ukrainians (0.5%), Belarusians (0.1%) and Chuvash (0.1%) (Table 1).

In this regard, such republics of the Russian Federation as Adygea, Altai and Buryatia are “related” to Mordovia. At the same time, the Republic of Mordovia in terms of the national composition of the population differs sharply, for example, from neighboring Chuvashia, where the titular population is more than 70%. To a large extent, this is determined by the “mobility” of the Mordovians, the long period of their cohabitation with the Russians. According to the 1989 population census, the total number of Mordovians on the territory of the Russian Federation was 1,072,939 people, or

0.73% of the total population of the country, and in 2002 - 843,350 people, or 0.6%. (Fig. 1).

Actually, 283.8 thousand people live in the Republic of Mordovia, which is about 33.7% of the total Mordovian population. A large Mordovian population (50-70%) is typical for the west and northeast of the republic; in the central regions the Russian population predominates. Geographically, Mordovians-Moksha and Mordovians-Erzya are distinguished: in the west there is more Moksha, in the basins of the Piana, Alatyr and Sura - Erzya. Tatar villages are located in large areas, the largest in the Lyambirsky district. Most of the Mordovians are concentrated in the Volga-Vyatka (Nizhny Novgorod region, Chuvash Republic), Volga (Samara, Penza regions) and Ural economic regions (Orenburg region, Republic of Bashkortostan).

At the dawn of the development of human society on the territory of modern Mordovia, the population grew extremely slowly due to high mortality. With the transition from gathering and hunting to primitive agriculture and cattle breeding, the population began to increase somewhat faster. Its growth rate has increased sharply in late XIX- early 20th century This was due to changes in the birth-death ratio. Average annual natural increase Mordovians in 1897 amounted to 1.4%.

In 1913, 1,200 thousand people lived on the territory of modern Mordovia. (Table 2). During the first population census (1926), the number of Mordovians was 1,291,702 people, including 1,232,270 villagers and 59,432 city dwellers. (96 and 4%, respectively). A year later, the population increased in both urban and rural areas. When the Mordovian Okrug was formed, it amounted to 1,328,441 people, then it continued to grow and in 1930 reached 1,369.9 thousand people. As a result of administrative changes in the period from 1928 to 1934, the territories of the Narovchatsky and Bednodemyanovsky districts and the lands of the Pichkiryaevo railway junction were excluded from the district. Together with these lands, more than 130 thousand people were “given away”, which led to a population reduction of approximately 6%, and in 1934, after the formation of the Mordovian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, the population amounted to 1,308,544 people. Before the Great Patriotic War, 1,187.2 thousand people lived in Mordovia, including 1,098.2 thousand (93%) rural residents. The population decline in the republic continued during the war and after it. In 1941, 1,022.0 thousand people lived on the territory of Mordovia, in 1945 -877.4, in 1946 - 880.4 thousand people. In subsequent years, the population increased slightly and in 1950 amounted to 912.5 thousand people. Slow growth total number population of Mordovia continued until the early 70s, but it never reached the level of 1928. In 1993, 963.8 thousand people lived in Mordovia, including urban - 557.3, rural - 406.5, or 58 and 42% (Fig. 2). Thus, already in the early 90s. There was an absolute and relative reduction in population. This was the only republic in the Non-Black Earth zone of Russia where this was observed. The process of reducing the total population on the territory of Mordovia

began even before the Great Patriotic War and is actively continuing at the present time (Fig. 3).

During the period between the two population censuses of 1979 and 1989. The population of the republic decreased by 26.5 thousand people, or by 2.7%. Urban population during this period increased by 79.2 thousand people. (by 17%), rural decreased by 105.7 thousand people. (by 20.1%). During the period from 1990 to 2003, the population of the republic decreased by another 64.6 thousand people. and in 2003 amounted to 899.6 thousand, including urban - 59.9%. In December 2007, 847.6 thousand lived here, including 59.4% urban residents.

The population of the republic makes up 10.6% of the total population of the Volgo-Vyatka economic region and ranks 3rd in density after Chuvash Republic And Nizhny Novgorod region, however, this is almost five times higher than the Russian average. The Republic of Mordovia is one of the densely populated regions of the center of Russia, the average population density is 32.5 people. per 1 km2 (Table 2). The most densely populated areas are those adjacent to the city of Saransk: Ruzaevsky, Lyambirsky, Romodanovsky, and in the east of the republic - Ardatovsky and Chamzinsky (Table 3).

The growth in the number of urban residents was mainly due to the influx of rural residents (Fig. 2). The decline in the rural population occurred both due to a drop in its natural growth and due to intensive migration outside the republic. A small part of the migrants remained in

Saransk and Ruzaevka. At the same time, the average density of the rural population decreased sharply - from 42 to 14 people. / km. These indicators vary sharply across the administrative regions of the republic, which is due to the peculiarities of their historical, social, natural and economic development.

The decrease in the number and share of the rural population is complemented by a specific feature: in the republic there is not only a process of constant reduction in the number of rural, and currently also urban, population, but there is a decrease in the number rural settlements.

In 1926, the entire population of modern Mordovia was concentrated in 2,135 fairly large settlements, each of which had an average of 600 inhabitants. In 1989, on the territory of Mordovia there were 1,403 rural settlements, per settlement there were

about 300 inhabitants. In 2003, there were 1,313 rural settlements in the republic, with only 273 residents per settlement. As a result of many years of intensive outflow of villagers, the trend of fragmentation and self-liquidation of rural settlements has spread. In many subjects of the Russian Federation, there was an increase in the average population of settlements, but in Mordovia the opposite was observed: the number of residents and the number of settlements were rapidly declining. In 2007, there were 1,287 rural settlements left, of which 45 were without population. Average rural settlement amounted to 269 people.

In the Republic of Mordovia, significant contrasts remain between administrative regions in the ratio of rural and urban populations. In eight districts, villagers make up 100% of the population, in three - from 70 to 90, in nine - from 50 to 70, and only in Ruzaevsky and Chamzinsky - a minority, 30 and 31%, respectively.

Rice. 3. Population dynamics of the Republic of Mordovia

For Mordovia, as for most developed economic regions of Russia, in the 1980s. was characteristically simple, and in last years reduced reproduction (or depopulation).

Until the beginning of the 70s. the rate of natural population growth in Mordovia was higher than in Russia. So, in 1960 it was 20%, and in Russia - 15.5%. But then the downward trend in natural growth rates in both rural and urban areas began to become more and more apparent. However, the average annual population growth rate in Mordovia was even higher than in Russia. If in Russia in 1970 the birth rate was 14.6%, and the natural increase was 5.9, then in Mordovia it was 15.0 and 6.2%, respectively. But with relatively high rates of natural growth as a result of high migration, the absolute and relative numbers of the rural population, and therefore the labor resources of the villages of Mordovia, were declining. The urban population grew, but it did not compensate for the outflow of rural residents. A particularly intensive population decline began in the 70s. (Table 4).

In 2006, the process of steady population decline continued in Mordovia, due to natural decline and partly migration outflow. The birth rate was 8.6%; mortality - 16.4 and natural decline - -7.8%; respectively, in urban areas - 9.2%; 13.2 and -4.0%; in rural areas - 7.8%; 21.0% and -13.2%. (Table 5, Fig. 4). Natural population growth was noted only in the urban-type settlements of Yalge (2.7%) and Bolshaya Elkhovka (0.4%). A high natural decline was observed in Temnikovsky (-18.6%),

Tengushevsky (-18.4%), Kochkurovsky (-17.2%), Bolsheignatovsky and Dubensky (-15.7%) districts. Very high natural population decline is in rural areas of Bolshebereznikovsky (-20.2%) and Kovylkinsky districts (-21.2%).

Rice. 4. Crude birth and death rates (per 1000 people)

If the mortality rate in Mordovia is high, the birth rate is very low and until 2001 had a tendency to decrease. The situation in the republic is such that in rural areas there is a low birth rate and virtually no natural growth, which is explained by the active migration of rural residents of childbearing age. The remaining small young population was no longer able to “replace” demographic losses.

The decline in the birth rate is a consequence of many economic, social and political reasons, while having few children is a conscious choice made by many residents of the republic. Low birth rates are accompanied by fragility of marriage, an increase in the proportion of illegitimate children, and high mortality from “diseases of civilization.”

To understand the depth of demographic aging of the population of Russia and Mordovia, let us estimate the ratio of the numbers of 5 5-year-old and 10-year-old citizens (“grandfathers-grandsons”) and get the following picture: in the first half of the 20th century. There were 4-5 grandchildren per grandfather, in the 1960s. - 2 grandchildren, in the 1980s - 1 grandson; in the 1990s, the ratio “turned upside down”: for every 1 grandson there were 2 grandfathers; in the 2020s there will be 3 grandfathers for every 1 grandchild. The dynamics of the total fertility rate in Mordovia until 2015 is reflected in table. 6.

Our development research demographic situation showed that long-term forecasts for Mordovia are quite pessimistic. Nevertheless, it should be noted that programs are already being implemented here aimed at improving the lives of the population, including improving the demographic situation. It is hoped that measures demographic policy will change the demographic future of our region. Under the influence of the measures taken in the republic, there is a relative improvement in fertility rates, health, life expectancy, a reduction in the crime rate, the number of suicides, and alcohol poisoning. In general, we can say that the level and quality of life of society is increasing, and the qualitative characteristics of the person himself are improving. All changes are already having a positive impact on the demographic situation. To obtain maximum effect, in our opinion, more attention should be paid to housing programs.

In conclusion, we note that the socio-demographic development of regional society is the most important process. It is regulated by social, economic and demographic laws and has a clear spatial expression.

Natural reproduction of the population characterizes the sustainability of the socio-demographic development of the region. A measure of sustainability is the size of demographic potential. Effective socio-demographic development is, first of all, self-sufficient development. It should ensure quantitative and qualitative growth of demographic potential, as well as high quality and standard of living of the region’s population.

Less than a year has passed since we published preliminary data on the results of the 2010 population census. All the figures given at that time were the result of an incomplete count of the census results. On this basis, an estimate of the population of the country and regions as of January 1, 2011, which was used in the formation of interbudgetary relations, was to be calculated. Now that the relevant authorities have processed all the data received during the census, we can talk about the final results of the census: for Russia in general and for Mordovia in particular.

Over the 8 years since the previous census in 2002, the number of Russians has decreased by 2.3 million people. Imagine that during this time eight and a half thousand villages died out! In 2010, 142 million 905 thousand inhabitants of the country were enumerated. But since that moment (within a year), another 48 thousand citizens have already passed away. The current population of Russia is 142 million 857 thousand people.

Population decline has been observed in most regions of Russia, including Mordovia. Now, according to the census, 834.8 thousand people live here, of which: 333.1 thousand are Mordovians, 443.7 thousand are Russians, 43.4 thousand are Tatars and representatives of other 119 (!) nationalities. It is worth noting that a decrease in the number of residents was recorded in 63 of the 83 regions of the country. It is explained by natural decline, i.e. the excess of deaths over the number of births. In Mordovia, this decrease, compared to the previous census, is 54 thousand people.

The 2010 census showed that the most populated are three federal districts countries: Central, Siberian and Volga, of which our republic is an integral part. Distinctive feature All of these districts, and Mordovia in particular, is due to the increased urbanization of the population. In Mordovia, the share of the urban population during the intercensus period increased from 59.8% to 60.4%. In total, 504,336 people live in urban areas and 330,419 people live in rural areas.

In the last two decades, our country has been characterized by a significant excess of women over the number of men. This ratio is explained by high premature “male” mortality. In the Republic of Mordovia, the census counted 383,663 men and 451,092 women, i.e. the number of women exceeds the number of men by 67,429 people. The gender ratio during the intercensus period in the republic did not change, as in 2002, men make up 46.0% of the total population, and women - 54.0%. There were 1,176 women per 1,000 men in 2010, and 1,175 in 2002.

According to statistics, the average age of residents of the Republic of Mordovia for Lately increased by 1.7 years and amounted to 40.4 years (in 2002 – 38.7 years). The number of people under working age during the intercensus period decreased by 35,709 people (22.9%), those of working age - by 16,283 people (by 3.0%), those older than working age - by 1,955 people (by 1.0%).

There are several interesting nuances to note. In the total population in 2010 in our republic, the Mordovians accounted for 39.9%, Russians - 53.2%, Tatars - 5.2% (in 2002, respectively - 31.9%; 60.8%; 5 .2%). During the intercensus period, the number of Mordovians in the republic increased (!) by 49.3 thousand people, which should be considered a positive development. This is explained not so much by a demographic breakthrough, but by the number of ethnic Mordovians who decided to return to their roots. Unfortunately, in the past it was not uncommon for the Mordovians to be registered as Russians, and in mixed marriages the predominance was in favor of another nationality. In Russia as a whole, the Mordovian population amounted to 744.2 thousand people. Among the peoples of Russia, the Mordovians are currently in ninth place and first among related Finno-Ugric peoples. The numbers are smaller among the Udmurts, the Mari, and other nationalities. The share of the Mordovian population in the total population of Russia in 2010 was 0.54%.

During the 2010 census in the Russian Federation, 4.8 thousand people identified themselves as Mordovians-Moksha, of which in the Republic of Mordovia - 4.2 thousand, Mordovians-Erzya, respectively - 57.0 and 49.6 thousand people. During the survey, the main number of indigenous residents of the republic (279.4 thousand people) identified themselves as Mordovians. Of the total number of Mordovians in the Russian Federation (744.2 thousand people), 333.1 thousand people, or 44.8%, are residents of the Republic of Mordovia. Among the other regions of Russia in terms of the number of Mordovians, the Samara region leads, where, according to the census, 65.4 thousand people of Mordovian nationality lived (or 8.8% of the total number of Mordovians in the Russian Federation).

And some more interesting data. As already mentioned, in most Russian regions a reduction in the number of citizens was recorded. The number of indigenous residents, representatives of one nationality or another, has also decreased. But some, nevertheless, have seen an increase over the past 8 years. I think we should name those where this increase was the most significant. During this time, the number of people of Caucasian nationality in Russia increased - Chechens, Armenians, Avars, Dargins, Ossetians, Kumyks, Lezgins, Ingush - and two northern peoples - Yakuts and Buryats.

When considering the national composition of the population, it should be borne in mind that the population size of individual nationalities could also be influenced by the fact that the population had the right not to answer the question about nationality. In 2002, 1.5 million residents of Russia (1% of the population) took advantage of this right, and in 2010 – 5.6 million people (almost 4%).

Semyon MIKHAILEVICH
