Magadan is a federal subject that has the highest rate of depopulation in the Russian Federation. Its population, which stood at 384,525 in 1991, stood at 165,820 on January 1, 2008 (according to the State Committee of the Russian Federation on Statistics), falling at a rate of around 2% per year. The rural population, which had stood at 59,151, was just 8,833 in 2008 and decreasing at a rate of around 10% per year. Entire villages are being emptied out and the population of the rural areas of the districts is simply disappearing. The rural population of Yagodninsky District was reduced from 13,843 (1991) to 445 (2007). The Omsukchansky District saw its rural population plummet from 1,301 to 79. Especially extreme is the example of Susumansky District, where the rural population almost disappeared: from 9,764 in 1991 to just 116 in 2007. Emigration is evident from the fact that for the 20-24 age group, there were only 66 females living in rural areas, compared to 202 males. Male life expectancy for rural areas rose to 53.73 years in 2006 from 51.88 in 2005.[29] In 2021 the depopulation continues with approximately the same rate, as the population is about 139,000 people.
Jeigu paimti mūsų provinciją ar net kokią latvių Latgalą kaip ekstremalų pavyzdį ir dar padaugint iš 10. Čia net kalbant apie tuos krizinius laikus.
Iš kitos pusės, ten tiesiog prastas susisiekimas ir prasti orai. Puikus kokteilis vystytis depopuliacijai. Turbūt net labiau nei pati ekonomika savaime.
Visur kur didelis gimstamumas, praktiškai palyginti neblogas klimatas, nebus vasarą +10 šilumos, o žiemą -30. Gal tik kalnų rajonai išsiskiria (bet ir jie būna bent jau kažkokiose tranzitinėse logistikos prasme zonose).
Tuo tarpu Magadano sritis nenoriu klyst, bet lyginčiau susisiekimo prasme kažkuo artimiau Antarktidai nei daugeliui likusių pasaulio vietovių. Žiūrint vietoves per Google Maps, matant tas gyvenvietes, pasilieka siurealus jausmas, kokio kitur Žemėje nelabai jaučiasi.
O jei šiaurės Kazachstane surengtų "nekaltą specoperaciją" ir atseit "išgelbėtų rusus nuo kazachiško fašizmo", tai va jau ir keturios.
