How many people were born in Russia from February 1 to February 13 in 1918?

None, because those dates never existed in Russia. Russia had been on the Julian Calendar, which was thirteen days behind the rest of the world which was on the more accurate Gregorian Calendar. By order of Vladimir Lenin, Russia switched to the Gregorian Calendar by decreeing that the day after January 31, 1918 would be February 14, 1918 thereby skipping completely over February 1 to February 13, 1918.

We changed from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar because it was out of synch with the solar calendar.

However Germany did not until 1700 and Great Britain waited until 1752. Russia did not change until 1918.
