The census

The census was originally scheduled for October 2010, before being rescheduled for late 2013, citing financial reasons,[2] although it was also speculated that political motives were influential in the decision. However, in late 2009, Prime Minister Putin announced that the Government of Russia had allocated 10.5 billion rubles in order to conduct the census as originally scheduled (in October 2010).[3][4]
