> Demographers have Russias population reducing to under 70 million by 2050.
Wow, that's about 4 per sq. km. And with China around 140 per sq. km., maybe dropping a bit to 125 per sq. km by then, just to it's south, that's a problem waiting to happen....especially with the male/female disparity in China (1.13 males/females under 15). It might be cowboys and Indians time again, with a strong China pushing to take over land (or at least push for very favorable trade terms) from Russia.
