Also, there aren’t many families of 4 in Russia. People have typically only been having 1 child for generations now, which is contributing to demographic collapse. Pre-Khrushchev, Rural Russians had huge families of course. After urbanization, people stopped having many kids and it the birth rates dropped to less than 2. Going into the 2010s, it started to pick up a bit to 1.78, then started falling again down to 1.4 and now 1.19 (11.9 / 1000 people). It’s an aging society like the rest of Europe and Asia, with weird demographic structural issues, lack of basic infrastructure, short growing seasons, frozen earth, rotting buildings, and no real reinvestment of revenue into roads, rail, energy, schools, or new hospitals.
