Is Russia under reporting deaths because how can they have third highest infection rate yet have under 4k deaths?

Well, most deaths come from over 70 years old men.

Not many Russian men reach 70 or even a higher age.

Underreporting is probably still a thing. Same in Turkey and so on...These leaders don't want their countries to look weak 

I'm amazed by the huge discrepancy between men and women.

Russian men only have a life expectancy of 66.9 years while women have 77.6 which is at least somewhat decent.

That's a difference of 10 years! Usually the difference is only about 5 years.
