The population of the USSR's (today known Russia) in 1939 was 168,524,000 but by 1946 it was 170,548,000. There is a good reason for this, before WW2, the Baltic states wasn't part of the USSR but in 1941 once the Baltic states becomed part of the USSR, the general population of the USSR was 196,716,000, then during WW2, around 25 Million Soviets died, which lead to the population being around 170 Million by 1946.
