Russia Has One of the World’s Highest Excess Death Rates. Why Aren’t Russians Angrier? Surging coronavirus fatalities have played little or no role in a recent wave of protest. Feb. 19, 2021 Russia has lifted most of its coronavirus restrictions and opened vaccinations to the public. Kirill Zykov / Moskva News Agency Russians are showing few signs of anger over the government’s handling of the health aspects of the coronavirus pandemic, despite the country recording one of the world’s largest increases in mortalities last year. Russia’s excess death toll calculated by comparing the number of people who died over a given period with the number that would be expected given local mortality rates stood at more than 337,000 by the end of 2020. That’s the highest figure in Europe, and even after adjusting for population, fifth in the world.
