but its 170 to 182

see

The population in 1941 was 196 million

multiply that by 3/4

which is the amount of people who died in WWII

You get 147 million

yes and it dropped because of the war

By 1946

there were 170 million

so

23 million people were born

in 1951 there were 182 though

Ik

but we're talking birth rate here

okay so how does it prove that the USSR did kill that much people in gulags?

well

assuming the birthrate was 23 million people

every five years

this would mean that in the course of approximately a hundred years

23,000,000*20 russians were born

That number is 460 million

I know the gulags were conceived in the 1920s and not all of these people were born in Russia and were actually immigrants

but this shows that there is a considerable amount of people born to replace the fallen

GG @Otto, you just advanced to level 9!

that's my logic

okay then i have answer for you then you do know a lot of men and woman died in the ussr for the red army right?

so of course there is less birth rates

yes

But 460 million is an approximation

also the population of russia today is 144.5 million

after the USSR

even if we take out half of that number it still explain's Russia's birth rate

well

I gtg

but it still doesn't prove that the USSR killed that much people in gulags

those people that died died in WW2

I guess

woman and men

ttyl
