Abstract

— The article considers death as a social phenomenon. Statistical mortality indicators are given only to characterize its all-Russian, regional, and ethnic scales. The focus is on the social aspects of causes of death with their conditional division into diseases of the flesh, spirit, and society. Among the latter, special attention is paid to the consequences of the instability and inconsistency of the all-Russian situation and crisis of family relations. Incidences of stable spatial heterogeneity of the spread of mortality are presented. It is shown that these trends are associated not only with living conditions in certain territories, but also with the ethnic factor, an example of which is the outstripping dying off of the Russian population. The role of domestic geographers in the study of the relationship of mortality with the characteristics of socioeconomic and other parameters of specific territories (the doctrine of geodemography) is noted. The causes and forms of the changed attitude to death are highlighted. The issues under consideration are closely related to the specific Russian problems of aging and old age, which will be explained in a subsequent publication.
