  • At least 5 million, depending on how you define rural russia and how skewed the gender & age structures actually are.

    Population of russia is 143 million, 35% of which are between 18 and 44, half of which are men. That comes to 50 million, 20% of who live outside the European Russia, bringing the final count to 5 million.
    And as only 21.5 million people live in the Moscow metropolitan area, so if everything outside that is counted as rural you’d have over 20 million.

    In both cases the issue is logistics, equipment and training, not the lack of bodies to throw in the grinder.
