"This marked a boom for the wider Russian economy, which only began to stop thanks to the death of Kamarov, who was replaced by conservative Nicholas Petrov. Petrov, like most of United Russia, was wholly incompetent, and the Russian economy's astounding growth slowed very quickly, from its high of 14% a year before Kamarov's death in 2058, to 7.6% by 2061. The Russian population, however, exploded. Japanese refugees from the JCW escaped en masse to Eastern Russia despite an immense infrastructure funding program, stalling Northern Japan's population growth. Ukranians escaping rebel activity in Ukraine also settled in Russia. By 2064, the Russian population numbered at about 356 million, and the Russian birth rate was one of the highest in the world."

looks like the Russians stopped getting drunk
