How to read this table
The table rows provide annual data for each country, allowing for a comparison of telephone network development levels. This makes it easy to track changes in communication accessibility for the population in Russia and among neighboring countries over fourteen years. Differences between rows are due to geographical coverage, as each entry corresponds to a separate country. Values are presented in units, enabling an assessment of the density of installed telephone sets relative to the population size
What is visible in these numbers
Top five values: Germany (65), France (64), Greece (53), Portugal (53), United Kingdom (53). The top five account for 28.9% of the total for all items
Observations are annual, with 8 observation periods in the dataset. There are 200 values in the table out of 200 possible, which is 100% — missing values are virtually absent
The same indicator for other periods
These series cannot be stitched together Over the common period 2010 values diverge — Rosstat recalculated the indicator using a revised methodology. They cannot be combined into a single chart: a break would appear at the junction, which did not actually occur

| Россия | 31,0 | 31,0 | +0,0 |

Period and application
Annual updates by Rosstat ensure the information remains current for analyzing the communications sector. The dataset covers the period from 2010 to 2023 and is useful for researchers studying technological shifts and changes in telecommunications infrastructure. This data allows for tracking long-term trends in the use of landline and public network-accessible telephone sets in Russia compared to other countries worldwide
How it is calculated
Table notes: According to the Ministry of Digital Development of Russia. Data for 2015–2021 are published taking into account the results of the 2020 All-Russia Population Census. Number of fixed telephone subscribers
1) По данным Минцифры России. Информация за 2015–2021 гг. публикуется с учетом итогов ВПН-2020.
2) Число абонентов фиксированной телефонной связи.
