How You Can Help Why Support the Project at this Time? If no aggressive intervention is implemented, the current heath care situation will lead to catastrophic longer-term demographic conditions in Russia. One noted scholar, Murray Fishback, has speculated that absent intervention to reverse current trends, Russia's population may be less than 100 million people by the middle of the century. It is hard to imagine a Russia with the precipitous decline in economic prosperity that will result from such a population decline as a stable part of modern civilization. In addition to the evident economic crisis and emerging humanitarian tragedy, a weakened Russia, in possession of weapons of mass destruction and boasting strategic natural resources, could constitute a serious new threat to national security around the world.
