| No. | Country | Mortality rate (people/100,000) | Men | Women |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lithuania | 31.9 | 58.1 | 9.5 |
| 2 | Russia | 31.0 | 55.9 | 9.4 |
| 3 | Guyana | 29.2 | 43.7 | 14.4 |
| 4 | South Korea | 26.9 | 38.4 | 15.4 |
| 5 | Belarus | 26.2 | 46.9 | 8.2 |

| 7 | Kazakhstan | 22.5 | 38.3 | 7.6 |
| 8 | Ukraine | 22.4 | 41.1 | 6.3 |
In terms of the number of suicides per capita, Russia exceeds the world average by a factor of 2.5 (26.5 cases per 100,000 people, compared to 10.5).
Only Lesotho and Guyana have higher rates (28.9 and 30.2, respectively).
For comparison: in Belarus, this figure is 21.4; in Ukraine - 18.5; in the USA - 13.7, in Canada - 10.4; in Cuba - 10.1; in Israel - 5.2.
If we consider only male suicides, then Russia is the absolute world leader. The suicide rate among Russian men is 48.3 per 100,000 people (in Lesotho it is more than twice as low - 22.7; in Guyana - 46.6).
If, on average, there are approximately 1.8 times more male suicides than female suicides in the world, then in Russia this gap exceeds the world average by several times: Russian men commit suicide 6.5 times more often than women.
In total, in 2016, 44,673 people committed suicide in the Russian Federation. This is approximately 122 suicides per day, or five per hour.
Thus, one resident of Russia commits suicide on average every 12 minutes.
