"Your Majesty, based on the initial compilation of domestic registration data, without considering other interfering factors, by the end of 1918, our total population reached 163 million, with urban population accounting for more than 34%, which is approximately 55.4 million, while rural population stood at around 107 million."
"That means our current population size is roughly equivalent to pre-war Tsarist Russia. However, considering the significant reduction in Russian territory nowadays, along with the current civil war in Russia, and the previous wars between Russia and the Allies."
"The Russian population certainly has decreased rather than increased, which means, without considering colonial territories, our nation has officially replaced Russia, becoming the world's third most populous country, a step forward compared to the last statistics."
