Reasons for the small population in northern Russia (reasons for the small population in eastern Russia)

1. Environmental factors: The northern part of Russia is located in the middle and high latitudes and has a cold climate, which is the location of two "cold poles" in the northern hemisphere. 2. Economic factors: Russia's development center is in Europe, and its financial and industrial centers are also in Europe. The natural population lives in Europe, and the population in northern Russia is relatively small. 3. Because the war caused a large number of male deaths in Russia, the fertility rate was greatly reduced and the population became less and less.

1. Environmental factors: The northern part of Russia is located in the middle and high latitudes and has a cold climate, which is the location of two "cold poles" in the northern hemisphere. The continental climate is remarkable, increasing gradually from west to east, with long cold winters and mild and short summers. The annual average temperature is below 0℃. The absolute low temperature in Yakutia in the northeast is -70℃. For human beings, the living environment is harsh, and few people live naturally.

2. Economic factors: Russia's development center is located in Europe, and its financial and industrial centers are also located in Europe. The natural population lives in Europe, but the population in northern Russia is relatively small. For northern Russia, resource exploitation is the main factor, infrastructure is insufficient, few people live and emigrate, and the economy is relatively backward.

3. In northern Russia, although there are many natural resources per capita, the population distribution is too sparse, the distribution of cities and towns is too sparse, and commercial trade is very inconvenient, which leads to high trade costs, which makes local goods uncompetitive, leads to low income and poor living standards, and urges people to leave their homes and return to Europe permanently. The population was originally small, and this time there are fewer and fewer people.

4. The influence of the war is long-lasting: because the war caused a large number of male deaths in Russia, the fertility rate was greatly reduced and the population became smaller and smaller.

Russian men like to drink a lot, and quite a few men are addicted to alcohol and have a relatively short life span. This has also seriously affected the fertility rate of the Russian population.
