Refugees under the mandate of the UNHCR by country or territory of origin, 1964–2025. Bars, not a line: a line drawn across a year the source does not report would invent an observation a reader could not tell from a measured one.

The World Bank reports 57 of the 62 years between 1964 and 2025 for Russia. The missing 5 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
