Russia's desire to reclaim previously held territories may be more difficult than they think. Russia's population was 184 million in 1991. Currently the population is about 143 million with estimates saying that by the year 2050, Russia's population will be down to about 110 million. How are the Russians going to hold off the Chinese in the East and maintain control over pre-break up territories with a rapidly declining population?
