That's not how the average age works, men in Russia die young and that skews the statistics. If someone lives to be 66, there is a good probability they would live another 10 or so years.

If someone lives to be 66, there is a good probability they would live another 10 or so years.

That’s true, but [1] says men in Russia are expected to live much less than other countries at any age. For example, a 45yo male in Russia is expected to die at 72.4, which is 10 years less than top-10 countries and worse than 138 countries. For 65yo Russia is ranked 109.
