    It’s actually pretty similar in the US - roughly 40,000 annual car and gun deaths each. American roads are also less safe than most peer countries.

          Normalized over population deaths ratio in Russia seems to be about 0.00010069444, while in USA 0.00012309309, which is about 22% more than in Russia.

          Some could say “look, how good living in Russia is”, but we all have to keep in mind that for example in Finland only 210 people died in one year as result of traffic accident, which is 0.00003779697 normalized. This is slightly more than third compared to Russia. In other words normalized death ratio from accidents in Russia is 266% more than in Finland.
