The study of the patterns of demographic processes in the Russian Federation and the preservation of the people is of crucial importance for the further development of the country. Currently, the number of the indigenous population of Russia is decreasing. The article summarizes the research results of an outstanding scientist, specialist in the field of occupational medicine, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor. Velichkovsky B.T., who identified the regularities of the relationship of a number of economic and medical factors with the intensity of the population decline of the Russian Federation. Scientists have established a connection between the population decline and the value of its purchasing power, the availability of medical personnel, dustiness of the air, living conditions and other factors. It is shown that the most significant role in mortality is the value of the purchasing power of the population. The main diseases leading to an increase in mortality have been identified. The calculations of the author of the article showed that a close relationship between the purchasing power and the mortality rate of the population of the Russian Federation remains at the present time.
