New mortality data from Saint Petersburg, Russia, renews questions about whether Russia’s real death toll from the coronavirus pandemic is significantly higher than authorities’ official count.

There is a consensus among experts around the world that comparing total mortality numbers from the months of the pandemic compared with previous years offers the best picture of the real toll of the virus, since countries have such widely varying methods of counting COVID-19 deaths.

the UK recording a 65% increase in excess deaths since March, Italy a 47% jump, France a 30% increase.release of the same type of data last month showing April's mortality in Moscow and St. Petersburg With around 5,300 deaths from over 440,000 cases, Russia officially has one of the lowest mortality rates in the world, of just 1.2%, significantly lower than other countries with large epidemics. Germany has a reported mortality rate of 4.7% and Brazil 5.6%, according to data from John Hopkins University. The United States' rate is currently 5.8%.

Russian doctors and demographers though, have said they believe the official approach is too narrow and is intended to keep the toll artificially low. Russia's federal statistics agency has still not released mortality data for the rest of the country's regions for April, saying it needs more time because of the closure of local offices by the epidemic. Russia was still in a relatively early stage of its epidemic in April, while May saw the huge surge in cases that have given Russia the third-largest epidemic in the world. It means the data for May is likely to show a significant jump in excess deaths.

My responsibilities and things were very difficult for me, but now I'm so happy to share this testimony. Sir Allen has changed my financial situation and I've been earning thousands of dollars over $7,500 every week from his company platform. You can reach him Allen__Cruise

It's even higher if you count the ones who've 'fallen' out of windows. That's a real problem there. Even in windowless buildings.

Did anyone really think they would tell the truth?

Russia hails 100 years of ties with TurkeyOn June 3, 1920, Russian Soviet Commissar for Foreign Affairs Georgy Chicherin sent a telegram to Mustafa Kemal Ataturk Grand National Assembly of Turkey's chairman to 'immediately establish' ties. Russia is not a reliable partner at all. What they did/allowed to turkish forces in syria will never be forgiven, and also they never give any attempt to stop israeli shelling to its closest ally iranian militias in syria. Russia is russia, another unreliable, bloody imperialist.
