Abstract
Demographic balance of the regions of Russia for 1992–2023 is constructed, taking into account and highlighting the amendments of the 2002, 2010 and 2021 population censuses of Russia. At the regional level, the adjustments were three times higher, with a total of 13.1 million people in absolute terms. 8.7 million people were added to one part of the country’s regions, 4.4 million people were taken away from the other. For most regions of the country these amendments were of «migratory origin.» At the regional level, 4.3 million people are corrections from abroad and clarification of the current population records partially missing in the 1990s and early 2000s in several North Caucasian republics, and 8.7 million people are two halves of 4.35 million people of the interregional migration increase and decline. The article identifies groups of regions according to the growth or decrease in the number of resident population for 32 post-Soviet years, as well as according to the structure of the components of demographic balance and the direction of census corrections (positive or negative). As a rule, correlation between the components of demographic balance and demographic adjustments is interrelated. If a region is an interregional migration recipient at the federal or local level, then, as a rule, its census corrections are positive. If a region has a negative demographic situation and is the main interregional migration donor of the country, then its census corrections are negative. Population censuses in the Russian Federation only exacerbate the picture of differentiation in the demographic development of Russia’s territories. More and more people are concentrated in a few macro-regions and local centers of the European part of the country, and the European North and the Asian part of the county, primarily the Far East, continue to be exposed.
