Russia continues to impress with its achievements and growth, reporting 33,000 deaths from HIV/AIDS in 2024, according to the Russian Federal Health Agency Rospotrebnadzor. Over the past five years, the death toll has increased significantly—from 20,000 HIV/AIDS-related deaths reported in 2018. For perspective, Germany reported fewer than 500 such deaths in 2021, and globally, HIV/AIDS mortality fell by 40% between 2010 and 2021.

According to Rospotrebnadzor, the number of people living with HIV in Russia increased by 27% between 2017 and 2023, while globally the number of HIV infections declined by 22% from 2010 to 2021.

The data becomes even more alarming when broken down by demographic groups. 4% of Russian men aged 30 to 40 are HIV-positive. In 2022, there were 25 regions in Russia where more than 1% of pregnant women were HIV-positive. Among the population aged 15 to 49, 1.5% are infected with HIV—higher than in African countries: 0.9% in Ethiopia, 0.7% in Congo, 1.1% in Chad and Liberia, and 1.3% in Nigeria. In Germany, for example, just 0.1% of people aged 15–49 are HIV-positive.

At the same time, Russia may resort to various tricks when presenting statistics in official statements. For example, instead of disclosing actual numbers of positive HIV tests, they may report how many individuals have registered with healthcare facilities and are receiving antiretroviral therapy. Official data on mortality and birth rates have already been classified by Russian authorities, and HIV statistics are likely next. Still, infection rates may begin to decline in the coming years—not due to improvement, but due to testing issues. In 2020, a decline in newly identified HIV cases was reported for the first time, only to be quickly attributed to reduced testing during the COVID pandemic. Russia remains highly dependent on HIV test kit manufacturers from Western countries. Although sanctions technically do not cover medicines or medical equipment, payment issues often prevent transactions even in these areas, and last year, HIV test kit procurement for clinics fell by one-third.

Do you know who this woman is? For some it may ring a bell. Many however have no idea who this is.

This is Maryana Naumova. She's a Russian powerlifter, journalist, and television presenter. She's also part of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, a member of the Lenin Communist Youth Union and so infamous for being a hardcore zigger that she's placed on the Ukrainian sanctions list because she "frequently visits frontline and occupied territories of Ukraine to film propaganda stories in support of the war in accordance with Kremlin narratives" and "supports Putin's aggression and mass murder of civilians in Ukraine".

This is where this story gets funny however - she is biologically a he. In a now deleted Instagram post, this was confirmed. If you go on the Wikipedia page however, you will not find a word on it.

It's funny how Russia talks about the degenerate west when one of their most hardcore "patriots" was born male and became a "female" later on, lmao.

Watching Russia’s silence in response to attacks on Iran might make it easy to laugh at the Kremlin’s weakness and its fear of supporting its own allies. But it’s worth remembering that Iran has repeatedly accused Russia of cooperating with Israel. Iranian state media claimed that while Russia controlled the skies over Syria, it did nothing to stop Israeli strikes on Iranian forces in the region. The al-Assad regime didn’t assist the IRGC in defending itself in Syria and made no effort to investigate the Israeli attacks. Some even directly accused Putin and al-Assad of supplying intelligence to Israel.

The much-discussed cooperation agreement between Iran and Russia doesn’t include any provisions for military support—and even that deal was delayed by Iran, despite being announced in 2024. Iran only ratified it in June 2025, just days before Israel’s bombing campaign. In the end, war in Iran benefits Russia: it boosts the appeal of Russian anti-Western propaganda both at home and abroad, and drives up oil prices. Meanwhile, Putin keeps his friendly ties with Israel—and with the Netanyahu family in particular.

Director of Russian state owned company ВЦИОМ Valeriy Fyodorov says directly “to solve the demographic crisis, we must bring in migrants and replace the indigenous population with them.”
