The drastic changes in the demographic situation, the increasing depopulation of a series of
regions as well as the real drop in the population growth in cities, which during the course of
many decades show a tendency of uninterrupted growth, influenced the developmental
perspectives of the Russian cities to a likewise considerable extent. The large cities and even
the "million-cities" with a continuing increase in the number of inhabitants show in recent
years a tendency of stabilising or even a retrogressive development in the number of
inhabitants. Table 2 shows the decline in the population numbers of million-population cities
(Table 2).
