Russia's population is estimated to be approximately 146.2 million as of Jan. 1, which is a decline of more than 510,000 people in a year, The Barents Observer reported in a February story.
That figure marked the biggest population decline since 2005.
Faced with the declining population, a panel of experts was formed in March to propose remedies among which was to stop propaganda that promotes killing the unborn. Other ideas are to ban abortion in private clinics and to stop same-day abortions.
