Based on the demographic trends of recent decades, the authors try to determine the prospects for the main indicators of population development in the rural environment of 11 regions of southern Central Russia. A relatively favorable forecast for an increase in the number of births is associated with the entry into marriageable age of a relatively large generation in the second half of the 2000s - the first half of the 2010s. The increase in the number of deaths is presumably based on the aging trend of the rural population and especially the increase in the number of people over 70 years old. It is assumed that increased mortality will predetermine negative natural increase. Uncertain trends of recent decades do not allow for a clear forecast of the migration balance. The authors identify the decisive role of natural growth in comparison with mechanical growth. The article stipulates that the implementation of forecasts may be affected by such a "non-linear effect" as the coronavirus pandemic.
