According to the UNO prognoses, by the middle of the 21st century the population of Russia will decrease. It will be little more then 121 million people. Duration of life has dropped to the lowest level in the postwar era - 65.9 years. According to statistics, the victims of this demographic catastrophe are not children or old people, not people sick with cancer, but men in their middle age without higher education. The early death-rate has two reasons.
Many people die because of alcoholic intoxication.
The second reason is cardiovascular diseases, where alcohol plays its role also. These threatening numbers should not disappoint us, but encourage us to pray more.
