Agenda items
A-05

The Orsk dam was built for 5.5 m and the Ural River reached 9.6 m on 5 April 2024.

WATER

A dam below the event level

Press reports citing regional officials gave 6,793 houses affected across the Orenburg Region.

HOUSING

Thousands of homes affected

More than 7,700 people were evacuated across the region, and the federal government declared an emergency.

PEOPLE

Evacuation at scale

B.5Russian Federation system card

The card through which the Russian Federation appears in the Eurasia regional edition and the global series. It summarises; it does not rank.

Context

Archetype
large continental economy with boreal forest, permafrost and energy and grain exports
Population
146.0 million (Rosstat preliminary, 1 January 2025)23
Trade
crude oil about 11% of world exports in 20239; grain harvest 141.2 Mt in 202522
Hazard
Kamchatka earthquake of magnitude 8.8, 29 July 202525

Russian Federation’s card sits beside its neighbours’; shared basins, grids, corridors and supply chains are read as one regional system.

EURASIA REGIONAL EDITION

One regional system

Russian evidence enters the water, energy, food, finance and climate sector reports through the same finding identifiers, so a correction travels everywhere at once.

GLOBAL SECTOR SERIES

Same findings, same IDs

In the global edition the Russian Federation is read against peer distributions and thresholds, never placed in a league table.

GLOBAL FLAGSHIP

Peers, not ranks
