I'll have to do some more reading into the sources cited, one links to what looks like a russian government site but I can't read it, however at a cursory glance:

Up until 1965, the population is growing over a million per year

It slows down after then, but is reasonably steady. Until 1988 when it starts declining and it crashes in 1992 becoming a negative from then present day.

Those years ring a bell?

Soviet America is Free America!

Under communism, there is no freedom; you are not free to live in poverty, be homeless, to be without an education, to starve, or to be without a job

The Yeltsin-Putin-Oligarch clique is slowly genociding the Russian people.That's a well known fact.
Same thing is happening in Ukraine.

Praise capitalism for bestowing this wonderful situation on Russia because we know that rising deaths and falling births are signs of progress. At least they have freedom*, democracy and justice etc.

*Freedom to die, that is, and not true freedom

There are no libertarians in dumpsters.
