Infant mortality in Russia 1870-2020

The infant mortality rate in Russia, for children under the age of one year old, was over 266 deaths per thousand births in 1870. This means that for all babies born in 1870, over one quarter did not survive past their first birthday. Unfortunately some information is missing in the early twentieth century, during Russia's revolutionary period and again during the Second World War, however it is noticeable that Russia's infant mortality rate fell to one death for every ten babies born in 1955, and from this point the rate has fallen to just six deaths per thousand births today.

1870年，俄罗斯一岁以下儿童的婴儿死亡率高达每千名出生婴儿266人死亡。这意味着在1870年出生的所有婴儿中，超过四分之一未能度过其第一个生日。遗憾的是，在20世纪初的俄国革命时期以及第二次世界大战期间，部分信息缺失，然而，值得注意的是，1955年俄罗斯的婴儿死亡率已降至每出生十名婴儿死亡一名，自此之后，该比率已降至如今每千名出生婴儿仅六人死亡的水平。
