There was no independent Russia until the 90s, you should put the figures of USSR, look it up.

The USSR population figures consist only of Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR). In 1991 population of USSR was 293 M. According to this chart https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union#/media/File:Population_of_former_USSR.PNG the population of USSR was bigger than that USA's all those years.

That's right. It should really be the total USSR figure until 1991 (1990 for this quiz).

Now that it's 2020 could you update the 2020 stats to the current statistics and present section.

in 1970, Pakistan had 123 million people, so it should be number 5. Also, I think you have mistakenly used the populations for the Russian part of the USSR rather than the entire USSR.
