Rosstat data you can actually read
Rosstat, the Federal State Statistics Service of Russia, publishes its numbers as spreadsheets: hundreds of workbooks, merged header cells, one file per bulletin. This site takes those tables apart and shows each of them as a chart with the underlying values next to it.
27,006 datasets and 52,157,396 values are online right now; the catalogue was last rebuilt on 2026-08-31. Everything is free to read, download as CSV and fetch through the API — no registration for browsing, no paywall.
Titles are translated from Russian; the figures themselves are exactly as published by Rosstat, with the original table kept as the source of truth.

How to use the data
- Browse. Every dataset page shows a chart, the full table of values, the reporting period and the number of series.
- Download. Each dataset exports to CSV in one click, or to JSON through the API.
- Automate. The REST API is documented in English on the API page and described by an OpenAPI 3.0 specification, so a client can be generated for any language.
- Track revisions. The upload runs every other day and previous values are preserved, so revisions to published figures are visible.

Where the numbers come from
All figures originate from publications of Rosstat (rosstat.gov.ru), which are official statistics of the Russian Federation and are freely available. This site is an independent project: it re-publishes those tables in a readable form, adds charts and an API, and does not alter the values. Details are on the data and licence page.
