Population of Russia For Report?

Travel Info
I have a major report for Social Studies on Russia due in two weeks, I need to know about the population of Russia as a whole. Random facts would be most wanted since I need to fill up space on a page to make it a whole page. Please, I am counting on this computer for my whole report, and you all are the people who can help me most. Thanks in advance.
