The rapid shift in demographics for the fUSSR to the present is unbelievably scary and deserves it's own study. I believe that as well death rates accelerating (as you say) birth rates dropped too. Combined with migration from East to West (to an extent worsened by a drop in the standard of living) the 1990's represented an utter collapse for the people's of those lands.
