Of course, all these comparisons are made with how things stood last month rather than with the country’s pre-crisis economic performance. Then there is another “miracle” that the government is starting to trumpet, one discovered in August 2009: an increase in Russia’s population.
但当然，所有这些成绩都是与上个月的情况相比，而不是与该国危机前的经济相比较而言的。如此的话，还有另外一个“奇迹”政府准备大肆吹嘘的，这是在 2009 年 8 月发现的奇迹：俄罗斯人口的增长。不幸的是，在此之前或之后都没有哪个月出现过出生率超过死亡率的情况。
