In total and according to government figures, Russia has more than 179 thousand deaths from coronavirus, the highest figure in Europe.
However, this number only takes into account the deceased who have undergone an autopsy that has determined that the coronavirus is the main cause of their death.
The Russian statistics agency Rosstat estimated that the deaths from COVID-19 in the country exceeded 300,000 at the end of June 2021.
Despite the insistent calls from the authorities, the vaccination campaign against covid-19 is progressing slowly due to the reluctance of the population to inoculate.
