The two reasons for the sparse population of eastern Russia are:

1. **It is a mountainous region** - The geography of eastern Russia is characterized by vast mountain ranges and rugged terrain, which can make the area less hospitable and difficult for large-scale settlement and development.

2. **People invade the area and people fled for safety** - Historical conflicts, invasions, and a lack of stability have contributed to lower population densities, as people have often fled the area for safety or better opportunities elsewhere.

These factors significantly impact the demographic distribution in eastern Russia.
