Why is there so many abandoned villages throughout Russia?

Post Body

I recently found out Russia has around 20,000 abandoned villages, I know that since Russia is the largest country a significant amount of it's land is not suitable for people to live on. I was curious to know though why Russia has so many abandoned villages, I know in some countries around the world people often move into larger cities for career opportunities and stuff like that.

Would that be the case with majority of these, also what was life like in some of these before they were abandoned did people just watch their communities fall apart and people move away and eventually became the last person living there? Do people use these abandoned villages as holiday homes?
