According to the CDC the US had a homicide total of 24,692 in 2020, an increase of 5,551 compared to 2019. That's 29% more homicides, with the majority happening after a spike that coincided with the riots protesting the death of George Floyd pic.twitter.com/nrlo5zvvyN

This translates to a homicide rate of 7.4/100,000 homicide rate using the US population of 332M as the denominator.
I wrote about the history of the Russian homicide rates here. This is how the centennial comparison now looks like between Russia and the US after the latter’s embrace of #BLM and community policing.
US at 7.4/100k in 2020 would already be quite ahead of Russia, which was at 4.7/100k in the same year.
It’s quite possible that this year or next year the differential will be 2x over in Russia’s favor since US homicide rates appear to be still rising (if at a slower pace) while the number of homicides continues falling in Russia (-3.8% in Jan-May 2021 y/y).
Not that this is yet anything to write home about for Russia. After all, “demographically normed”, Russia’s homicide rates remain well above American ones. (As always, this is largely a function of middle-aged alcoholics knifing each other during their drinking bouts, as opposed to the “street criminality” that distinguishes African-American homicides). Nonetheless, these caveats aside, it now performs much better than the US so far as the raw per capita numbers are concerned, and vastly better than during the 1990s-2000s period, when late Soviet era “alcoholization” had reached its peak concurrently with the breakdown of law and order.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but this “middle age alcoholic knife wielder” demographic – isn’t it pretty strongly skewed towards towns in the ethnic republics/oblasts/whatever to the north and east, too? Komi, Nenets, Khanty-Mansy and then the rest of Siberia, so to speak.
I seem to recall that one city in Tuva or so was named the murder hotspot (per inhabitant) half a year ago.

Yes, Tuva is a murder central with homicide rates higher than in Mexico and Brazil. 20x more murders per capita than in Moscow.
As a foreigner you're not really threatened
Yes, homicide rates go up as you go North/East (i.e. areas of greater Finno-Ugric admixture) and into non-Russian/non-Muslim ethnic minority areas.
Out of date, still informative.
Something related to Mongol ferocity?
Tuvans do a lot of blood feuding or something, reminiscent of the Montenegrins and Albanians of yore
As a foreigner you’re not really threatened
Tuvans are not Mongols, they are a Turkic language group
As for “demographically normed”……. Moscow, SP, Kazan and Ekaterinburg must have much lower murder rates than any American city or comparable region.

Well, they certainly don’t look like Turks at least, but distinctly Asian/Mongolic, language aside.
Anyway, are there any statisics on raw alcohol consumption by region to compare regional murder rates with? The reason I ask is that it’s well known that there is an obvious baseline correlation, but if they stand out even considering that, the other contributing factors would be interesting to delve into.
I think the murder problem in the US is going to get a lot worse. Its hard for people to understand just how feral the negro underclass has become. The chances of being arrested and imprisoned for killing someone in our urban ‘free fire’ zones is becoming negligible though the risk of being targeted by the victims friends and family is not.
Yes, it would be nice if we could reduce the availability of handguns to the underclass but there is no practical way to do this. What’s a suburban gun shop owner to do. Put a sign over his entrance “NO NEGROES ALLOWED’. The American hoodrat may not have a job, a bank account or even a drivers license but he will have a handgun.

Surprise, surprise…
A wild guess: maybe that’s because Russia did not have “largely peaceful protests” that left mass looting, widespread arson, and quite a few assaults and murders in their wake?
A further non-PC thought: maybe enforcing the law and not having BLM and Antifa bandits on the loose is the right thing to do?
Murica winning. Chart go up!
I occasionally check out the list of journalist murders in Russia. The Wikipedia page stopped in 2018 – anyone knows if it’s because there were no more murders, or because it’s just no longer updated? In 2015 there were no murders at all, and the 2010s in general had maybe one murder per year, but then for example 2018 saw several cases. I haven’t looked at it since 2018, so I’m just wondering if there really were no journalist murders since 2018.

That isn’t the case in Russia though. Around 1/3 of murder victims are over 55 with the age of perpetrators being rather similar.

I know serial killers in Russia/Ukraine are normally over 50,contract killers normally over 45........but most murders in Russia are from neither of those types.
A lot of surprises in that graph.

England has been surprisingly low in murders on a consistent basis. The increasing crackdown on guns and the influx of third world immigrants have hardly budged the rate in either direction. Although, perhaps the coinciding of those two trends may simply mean that they mutually cancelled out their opposite effect on murder rates.

Anecdotally, we had a Eurasian Studies professor who shared his tragic story studying the Ket language in their tiny village in Siberia. Basically, being forcibly settled during the Stalin-era, they regressed from the hard, but healthy (when not dying) existence of nomads to American native-reservation tier life, where they drank heavily. Not having any tolerance for alcohol OR social disagreements (a life of forest nomadizing means disagreements between non-family members are settled by never, ever seeing each other again in the trackless Taiga) they frequently murder and beat the shit out of each other. Still, a nice people when sober.

Huzzah for Russia! It’s a long road, but maybe one day we will even see the era of prosperity that sees the arable (and commercial business friendly) regions of Siberia and the Far East being further settled, like in the early 1900s. I suppose Russia is still resettling the West in some aspects though…
Hopefully when America goes sufficiently deep into the flames, we will improve as well. Our manifested suffering really has only just begun.
No-brainer observation: America is repeating 90s Russia where a spike in vice and crime follows social collapse (in America the collapse is still partial and unfolding, like where Russia was in 1991)

Re Finns, it’s been the same there. People in their 40’s or 50’s (sometimes older), on a Friday or Saturday night, hammered on hard liquor. Something triggers some verbal back and forth, the bickering eventually gets so loud that it drowns out the accordion tango music and suddenly there’s a hatchet or a puukko stuck in the wrong place.
They’ve improved since for sure, but it still occurs.

The late Soviet homicide rate increase was due to mass alcoholization. The streets were safe enough, but there were plenty of degenerates going on days long binges (zapoi) and killing each other over perceived slights. Developments in Finland were analogously linked with alcoholization, with the exception that their alcoholization peaked during the 1970s and went into steep reverse afterwards whereas Russia only reversed after the 1990s.

-Background level of murders in Russia or Mexico, will be higher than countries like Sweden, but the top of the surges on the graph to 30 murders per 100,000, are influenced by a type of informal civil wars. In this sense, it is almost like informal war victims, are being mischaracterized as murder victims, and that's how the very high peaks are achieved. In Mexico, this is centred on drug cartels or monopolies, that control billion dollar informal industry of drug trafficking into the USA. In Russia, these spikes match chronologically to wars between criminal groups for control of informal economies, with some famous massacres occurring in 1991-1994 and 2000-2003/4.In Mexico, it matches to the Mexican Drug War, which begins in December 2006.

- In the Russian equivalent, mass graves of gangsters and their bodyguards, often all had been killed on the same day or month. This is the cause of the high "spikes" of the murder rate - sometimes a dozen young men had been killed in a single conflict with a rival gang in industrial cities that do not necessarily have the largest populations, but which would generate the largest profits. https://i.imgur.com/nyG9Doe.jpgReplies: @Anatoly Karlin

Americans are already armed to the teeth. That, in and of itself, doesn’t make for a high murder rate. Whites don’t commit many murders and when they do it is for the usual reasons. Schemes to kill a spouse for financial gain, jealousy and the occasional madman running amok. Murder is considered abhorrent and police can and do track down whites who commit the crime.
OTOH negro society has degenerated to the point where killing an enemy has become normalized and is, in some cases, required if one wants to have any status amongst your peers. Many negroes have no other way to get money without engaging in armed robbery as they are unemployable owing to having no skills, a low IQ and an aversion to work.

I would put current American situation at around the same as Soviet 1989. The Westerstroika is just gaining momentum, we did not yet reach the breaking point. Many more people will die, it’s inevitable.
When one reflects that the 2021 increase must be almost entirely the result of increased effervescence among a group making up 13% of the population, that leap is spectacular. Offhand, the decrease in policing would seem to have led to the rate of homicide among blacks doubling.
…but those people are expensive, aren’t they? I moved from ‘diverse’ Richmond, California to a rather depressed — but all-white — logging town in Oregon.
We do have lots of drugs, and lots of vagrants, and lots of unemployment, and very few well-paying jobs. Nevertheless, the level of serious crime is nil. Some petty theft and some bar fights, but no armed robberies, no rapes, and — okay — one homicide in the last year.
Equally to the point, our police force — per capita — is about half the size of that required in Richmond.
Whites are just cheaper. Plus, we work harder.
Pryannikov is clearly full of shit. Homicide rate peaked even in the 1990s at not much higher than 30/100k, that’s 45k annually in a 150M population, even if this rate was true for entire 1990s that would be less than half a million murders, I would not be surprised if his others claims also relied on similar stretches of the imagination.
I also find this number quite high, although among around a couple dozen of my childhood acquaintances, a couple got killed, while three more went to prison for murder (one of them died there). A normal спальный район in the Moscow north-east, 10 minutes from MKAD, not Lubertsy, Solntsevo or Ismailovo.
I think it might have been worse in Piter, although not among the circle of people I personally know there. It was certainly much more violent and deadly in the Caucasus and Tuva and Caucasus statistics are notoriously unreliable.
The homicide rate in some Wild West towns in 19C America was around 200/100k. What does that make the White Americans there?
Even under debilitating communism and repression (and, nota bene – with assloads of clever people fleeing the place and later making stellar careers in eg the USA) they still managed to outperform say western Europe in most, if not all major scientific fields, and played toe-to-toe with the vastly economically and intellectually superior American powerhouse for decades.

I was pretty shocked to see that up until ’18, Russia had a HIGHER murder rate than America. It’s still hard to believe.
‘Americans are already armed to the teeth…’
Indeed. The level of armaments around here is almost comic…in fact, it is comic. There must be an average of two firearms per person. I’ve got three guns, my wife has two guns, Frank next door has at least one gun, Ian on the other side has a gun. So does Mark. Kim across the street had a gun…
The local gun show looks like someone is outfitting a battalion of light infantry. You can buy a .50 caliber sniper rifle if you like. The county sheriff is required to issue you a concealed carry permit if you qualify.
We’re set for some serious combat around here.
Yet — in a county with about a hundred thousand people — I’m aware of one murder in the three years I’ve lived here.
Pure BS. Only a person who never been to Russia can believe this crap. Visit any Russian store and you will find that more than half products are made in Russia. Visit any American store and find that 80-90% of products are made in China, with the rest made in South Korea, Vietnam, Philippines, etc.

Six hundred additional murders a month for fourteen months…
Five hundred or so of those murders would be blacks murdering other blacks.

so ‘Black Lives Matter’ has resulted in the deaths of 7000 or so additional blacks…so far.
That’s why I when I said “them” I meant the blacks. Give them military grade weapons, even. Have them simply exterminate eachother.
60% higher rate of Steve Sailer just posting the same ‘blacks are violent’ article over and over, that’s for sure.
for reference, the US had 250 million citizens in 1990, so comparatively, the murder rate would be 9.8 if America hadn’t taken in 50 million third worlders between then and now.
the murder rate is a calculation that goes down automatically every year in America because it brings in 2 million people every year. leftists are saying that things aren’t as bad as 1990, but actually they’re pretty close if you just deduct the endless third worlders coming in.

According to mortality statistics, it began in the mid-1960s, and I think it was probably more linked to the general ennui and cynicism of late socialist culture coupled with the near impossibility of getting fired in the USSR (so no consequences to drinking on the job), vodka prices gradually declining as a share of incomes, lack of more interesting things to do for factory and kolkhoz workers, and the decline of traditional mores and religiosity.
Kadyrov keeps a tight lid on crime in his fiefdom. There is less of that in Dagestan and Ingushetia, so the homicide rate there is 2-3x higher.

Anatoly/Russia is certainly entitled to some gloat-poasting on this subject, particularly as the American regime is so given to lecturing other countries condescendingly and hypocritically on so many social issues, and it has been incompetently shooting itself in the foot lately.
Still, as every non-wokist knows, the US murder rate is mostly caused by one sub-demographic, and so you personally can mostly avoid becoming a statistic with This One Weird Trick (avoid blacks, especially young men). So you could say the “practical murder rate” in the US for the HBD-aware is less than half of the official murder rate.
Apparently though, there is a Russian equivalent, where with a couple of weird tricks (avoid zapoi, don’t be Tuvan) you too can dodge a big chunk of the murder stats. How big a chunk though? Enough to keep zapoi-aware Russian safer than HBD-aware Americans?
Among US states with few (< 5%) blacks:
West Virginia: 4.4/100,000
Colorado: 3.8/100,000 (closest to Russia)
Oregon: 2.8/100,000
Montana: 2.5/100,000
Utah: 2.2/100,000
Idaho: 2.0/100,000
Iowa: 2.0/100,000
Vermont: 1.8/100,000
Maine: 1.5/100,000
Overall, ethnic Russians are more prone to homicide than are white Americans on average, among the latter only white West Virginians are more homicide prone than are Russians. But the difference is not huge. White Americans are a lot more like Russians than they are like, say, Poles (homicide rate .73/100,000) or Swiss (homicide rate .59/100,000).
Only in their own ethnic republics. Outside them, plenty of violent crimes are committed by northern kavkaz.
Excessively recklessly criminal driving by all northern kavkaz remains mostly untouched by law enforcement, both within their ethnic republics and outside of them.

Buddhist majority Tuva is by far the most violent place in Russia? Seems like an interesting place to delve more into. It might not be so cognitively deficient as Shoigu is from there.
They should also be paid reparations by white Americans.
It’s like the myth that Russians are not enterprising. There are numerous Russian Internet stores and one or more Russian grocery store in every US city with a population above 200,000. For comparison, there isn’t a single German, Italian, or Spanish Internet store, and the only French one closed a couple of years ago. Europeans (who have the same idea about what constitutes food as Russians, which excludes most US “food” from that category) go to Russian grocery stores. That equally applies to Western and Eastern Europeans.
You can buy any book or movie in Russian you can think of (and many you can’t) in the US via Internet, while to get something in French or German you have to use European vendors. Thank god for Latin America: Spanish language products are available.Replies: @HomosapiensPlus

Good to see you again here!
I’m not sure if these qualify as “inventions,” but the first operational scramjet propelled hypersonic cruise missile and the first hypersonic glide vehicle were certainly Russian creations after 1980. (Actually after 2015, though work on them started back in Soviet times, and even America bought some hypersonic scramjet technology from Russia in the 1990s, because funding was cut and it was cheaper than developing their own thing.)
The MC-21 is probably the most developed narrow body airliner in existence, at least will be once it’s certified, though the avionics and the engines both are either Western or they are somewhat behind the cutting edge. Also probably Boeing would be able to develop a similar airliner if they didn’t have such a criminal leadership. Airbus, too, though they don’t need it yet as long as Airbus is behind them anyway.
They might be ahead in cruise missile nuclear propulsion, though it’s not yet operational.
I’m not sure if there’s anything else, but now please match these for Africans.
Many of these places are strongly depopulated, especially as concerns younger people. That's a major relief valve. There's also zero alcoholization problem amongst them, so they don't have that pumping the homicide rate either.

That’s also because of clannish vendetta culture, where clans need to police their young and unruly adult men or else other clans will be coming after them with revenge killings. Put these people into a European society (probably including Moscow), and they will commit lots of murders, especially by the second or third generation, when the ingrained cultural norms of never committing murder get weaker due to the realization that the whites have no clans and the criminal justice system is lenient as well. (The latter condition might not apply in Moscow, but it might be incompetent and/or corrupt instead.)
Hypersonic missiles Avangard and Kinzhal are new, and Zircon was tested sucessfully in 2020. These cannot be stopped and are more accurate thus these Russian technological breakthroughs are quite significant, at least if we want to stay alive in a war with Russia.

In the mid-2010s, the majority of Algerians in the Federal Republic of Germany were considered crime suspects by the German police.

In the bigger picture, what we have in the USSR is a 75 years worth postponement of the "civilizing" process that brought down homicide rates from ~5/100k to ~1/100k in countries like Finland as well as Italy or Japan.

Murder rate was mainly high because of the gang wars, related to organized crime, as gangs have been in “wars” for control of industrial cities. This results in very elevated murder rate, as many young men are dying as soldiers, and the periods of “war” can be seen in the cemetery, as the peaceful times when power has been consolidated can be seen by the absence of such graves.
This is also why murder numbers in Russia are usually significantly higher than officially reported numbers, as “modus operandi” of professional criminals is often including an ability to make bodies of their professional rivals disappear. These are not amateurs, and it results in a proportion of the people in such an “informal profession” disappearing without leaving much residue.
–
For analogous countries, the most obvious example of recent years is the Mexico Drug War (2007-).
–
Background level of murders in Russia or Mexico, will be higher than countries like Sweden, but the top of the surges on the graph to 30 murders per 100,000, are influenced by a type of informal civil wars. In this sense, it is almost like informal war victims, are being mischaracterized as murder victims, and that’s how the very high peaks are achieved.
In Mexico, this is centred on drug cartels or monopolies, that control billion dollar informal industry of drug trafficking into the USA. In Russia, these spikes match chronologically to wars between criminal groups for control of informal economies, with some famous massacres occurring in 1991-1994 and 2000-2003/4.
In Mexico, it matches to the Mexican Drug War, which begins in December 2006.

In the Russian equivalent, mass graves of gangsters and their bodyguards, often all had been killed on the same day or month.

1.High testing
2.A very low deathrate in comparison to western countries
3. Lower gdp loss in 2020 compared to EU average - despite oil price being significantly lower for much of the year.
4.As for so-called "excess mortality" BS - this is totally deranged. It's the easiest corruption scheme on planet to inflate coronavirus deaths, because Russian medics have got one of the most generous coronavirus pay bonus of any equivalent on the planet. A Moscow doctor will have 3x more salary from the start of the pandemic ( Normal pay + regional & federal bonus which are all near the same amount of 80k), a Kazan doctor is x2. 5. Thats the perfect incentive to inflate not "coverup" deaths. Different to other countries, we actually perform autopsies after every death. In Western countries, once the medics are vaccinated are they even bothered with recording coronavirus deaths? Probably not.
As for this "excess" BS - highest birth rates for Russia were in the few years after 1945. Life expectancy for male in certain regions directly correlates at this exact moment with these years in the 1950s with the highest births.
It’s not related to an ahistorical essence of a nationality, but economic and political organization in a country in certain historical stage.
Currently, many of the more successful projects are originated by entrepreneurs from Russian and other postsoviet nationalities (E.g. It’s the story of both Telegram and Whatsapp) – however, the economic/financing and political conditions for establishing those projects are in North West Europe and America, rather in the Russian Federation, or other postsoviet countries.
This can be dependent on some quite arbitrary vicissitudes: without Gorbachev, perhaps Nintendo would have needed to negotiate with the Soviet leadership, in order to complete its acquirement of rights for Tetris. With a more competent and stable political direction and prioritization, Soviet video game consoles could have perhaps been rival to the Japanese ones. Again Tetris was almost as popular as Supermario in the early 1990s, and it had been invented by two Russian government workers in the USSR. So originality of the workers was not the problem. But the political organization, economy/financing conditions, and historical stage, was not available for 1980s in the USSR, like in Japan of the time to say it mildly, and hence despite the indication of talent, the originating entrepreneurs of Tetris could never develop a career like equivalents in Japan such as Hideo Kojima or Shigeru Miyamoto.
Under Yeltsin, the Ru ssians lost all their money, their possessions. They were starving. The country was in complete chaos, thanks to Yeltsin going along with the west’s plans to rape the country, and leave it destitute. I would expect a lot of murder. Too bad they did not turn their murderous intent on that drunken sot and every western, Israeli, and Russian traitorous oligarch in Russia that Yeltsin allowed to run roughshod over those people. .
They tried and failed in 1993.

Alcohol poisonings kills far more people than murders (in Russia, perhaps not in Mexico), but my post is about the superelevated murder rates in Russia not the alcohol poisoining.
In Russia, we know that professional crime is causing peaks of the murder rate, as just by counting what was reported in the media is enough to have very strong upward effects. That is the media has reported that there were dozens of murders in some weeks, in cities of a million people or less. This is going to skyrocket your murder rates.
Alcohol directed violence contributes to the level of murders, but random alcohol directed violence doesn’t create the extremely high numbers that are seen in Russia. Similarly, today in Russia, the cities with powerful “informal economies”, have the high murder rates. And the prisons are like barracks in terms of professional organized criminals, rather than being alcoholics recovery centres.
For example, 2001-2002 was the highest official year of murder rate in postsoviet history proportional to population; in absolute numbers the highest year was 1994. This kind of elevated murder level in Russia was caused by activity of bandits.
In a famous case of the 2000s, that is only “the cap of the iceberg” (in terms of being uncovered, while hundreds of missing people in the same city were never found), eight criminals could produce as many murders, than the total number of murders that happen in a country like Norway in a year. https://rg.ru/2008/08/07/priton.html

Wow! What a load of unadulterated BS! What kind of simpletons is this intedned for? Oh, Americans… right. For internal consumption, huh…
Now, let’s inject some hard facts from the Free World into this putrid Amercian swamp:
1. US homicide rate has been immeasurably higher than that in Russia since the mid-20th century. Free World researchers of the US regime agree that US surpassed Russia in homicide rate sometime in 1950s, and by 1980s the US homicide rate reached 55-60 times that of Russia’s. By the 2010s the homicide rate in USA was consensually estimated in the Free World as two orders of magnitude higher that in Russia, regardless of how one “norms” it. Various researchers cite numbers between 150x and 200x (ignoring the outliers, like 300x). Basically, any kind of “norming” is no longer relevant for difference of this magnitude – it just won’t change the picture much.
2. Two primary factors determining the ultra-high US homicide rates are: intoxication and gang violence. USA is approximately at the same level as Russia in terms of alcoholism among general population, but USA demonstrates about 120-150 times higher levels of dependency on other controlled substances. Basically, USA is nothing else than just is one big permanently wasted drug house. This is a huge driving factor for the US homicide rates. According to Free World researchers monitoring the US regime, 95-97% of the US population are involved in various levels of abuse of controlled substances, both illegal and semi-legal. And a major alarming factor in the current situation is low admission rate: overwhelming percentage of US middle class (and higher), who depend heavily on “pills” and other addictive chemical substances, refuse to admit the problem.
3. On top of that, in order to “improve” the numbers demonstrating the current catastrophic state of affairs, propaganda branches of the US regime engage in rather primitive and straightforward “creative accounting”. According to the Free World researchers, gang violence remains one of the primary upward drivers of the US homicide rates. Yet, according to the standing rules employed by the US regime, victims of gang violence are officially excluded from the homicide statistics (!). It is hard to believe, but this is hard fact. For that reason the local law enforcement are routinely encouraged and/or forced to write off homicidal incidents as supposedly “gang related”, even if they have no meaningful reason to even suspect so. Basically, majority of homicides that happen in Black or Latino communities are never counted at all, since they are automatically (and deliberately) dismissed as “gang related”. Of course, Free World monitors of the US regime do their best to take these numbers into account to draw a much more accurate (and grim) picture of what’s going on inside the US territories.
The list can be continued, but… you know, the objective reality is that today, in 2021, there no meaningful way to compare homicide rates in USA and Russia, due to how overwhelmingly catastrophic the situation is in USA. Compared to the current murderous rage that covers the latter, homicide rates in Russia are essentially zero. For all purposes, they simply don’t rise above the statistical noise floor.
