The Average population density is 8.6 people/km2, which is quite low for the modern era value. On this indicator Russia – one of the least populated countries in the world. However, the distribution of residents in different regions varies greatly. So, if in the European part of the country the density is 27 persons/km2 in the Asian-only 3 people/km2.
The highest population density in the Moscow region – more than 4626 people per square kilometer. The lowest figure in the Chukotka district, where the average – below 0,07 persons/km2.

The population in the Russian regions often does not reflect its density. Regions with low population density – this is usually a large administrative education, while in areas with high population density they are mostly small in size.
Rating of the Russian regions in terms of population headed by the Central Federal district. This is due to its economic and social attractiveness. Of administrative regions of Russia in terms of population, the leader of the Moscow, where it amounts to 12 million 380 thousand people. It is followed by Moscow oblast with a population of 7 million 423 thousand people. Third place for the Krasnodar territory – 5 million 571 thousand people.
Fourth, fifth and sixth places are occupied, respectively, St. Petersburg, Sverdlovsk and Rostov region.
From the Russian regions by the number of people in the last places are Magadan oblast, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug and Nenets Autonomous Okrug.
Since 1990 in the camp there is no clear trend in the population. Until this year (except for military five-year plan for the fortieth) was noted for its stable growth. The worst situation was in the 90s and the first decade of the 2000s. Then the birth rate equaled the mortality, however, after 2014 was again the prevailing negative trend.
At the same time, the total number of inhabitants in the country increased from 2010 due to the higher flow of migrants. Prior to that, since the mid 90-ies, the population of the country decreased.
In recent years, the trend of decline in the number of residents most characteristic for the Central and Western part of European Russia. In the same part of the country and marked the lowest birth rate and the highest mortality. That is, both of these factors operate simultaneously, strengthening each other. In the Northern Caucasus and in some Siberian regions the number of residents increased.
The Greatest increase in the number of inhabitants is noted in Moscow, Moscow region and Krasnodar region. Each annual increase in the number of inhabitants amounted to more than 50,000 people. These regions are obviously one of the most prosperous in the country, and are therefore more attractive to migrants. Mainly due to them, and ensured this growth. Population growth due to natural (birth rate minus mortality rate) of demographic process is marked in Chechnya, Dagestan, Ingushetia and Tyva.
In most regions there is a decrease in population. All of these regions 60. The leaders in negative growth are the Chukotka and Magadan oblast. Here since 1990 the number of inhabitants has decreased in 3 times. The situation was somewhat better on the Kamchatka Peninsula, in the Murmansk and Sakhalin regions and in the Komi Republic.
The Migration flows are most active in the Moscow, Tyumen region and in the district of Sevastopol. Apparently, this is due to their greater attractiveness for Russian citizens. The regions of the Far East and far North, on the contrary, lead to outflow of the population.
The worst situation with the outflow of people in Magadan, Tambov oblasts, the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug and the Jewish Autonomous region, and also in some other regions.
In Russia, only 2 of the metropolis. This is Moscow with a population of over 12 million people and St. Petersburg with a population of over 5 million people In the rest ofcities of population less than two million people. So, in Rostov-on-don it is 1 million 125 thousand people., Novosibirsk – 1 million 603 thousand people in Ekaterinburg – 1 million 456 thousand persons, in Nizhny Novgorod – 1 million 262 thousand. people. etc.
Among cities with a population of less than 1 million inhabitants, Krasnodar is the leader. It is home to 882 thousand people. In second place Saratov with a population of 845 thousand people. On the third – Tyumen with a population of 745 thousand people.
Thus, the population in the regions of Russia are distributed unevenly. Vast regions in the Asian part of the country are virtually uninhabited, while a small krais and oblasts in the European part densely populated. Maximum populous region of Russia is Moscow.
