Western Russia isn't defined enough. Rosstat might count territories other countries believe are still other countries. Imagine the Crimea.

That's fair, but it still wouldn't make this a valid comparison for what the author appears to be trying to show.
If I wanted to compare the change in population over time for the purposes of studying demographic, and I was looking at the US and Canada, unsure if they included Puerto Rico as part of the US data...I can't just take the population of Toronto and New York and extrapolate implying it represents something for all of Canada versus all of the US.

Did OP anywhere assert that it represents something for all of Russia versus all of China?

OP linked a tweet of this graphic with such a message, which they promptly deleted.

Ah, I didn't see that. That does change the tenor of the post.
