PoliticsPutin just turned 74. Russia’s State Duma is aging, too

Russia’s Central Election Commission chief Ella Pamfilova said the new State Duma had grown younger, comparing lawmakers’ ages at different points. But comparing ages at the start of each session shows a steady aging trend: the average rose from 45.8 in 1994 to 54.3 in the ninth session. Nearly one-third of the new Duma’s lawmakers are at least 60.
