      The birth rate in Russia has dropped to a historical low. According to Rosstat, the state statistics agency, only 599,600 children were born in the first six months of the year, the lowest number since the post-crisis year of 1999.

      Some estimates have Russia’s population dropping from the current 146 million to 128 million by 2050, from the ninth most populous country to the seventeenth.

      The Ukraine war is inevitably worsening an already-dismal demographic situation. In a study by the Higher School of Economics, about a third of Russians who have put off or decided not to have children cited the war as a reason. Another third fingered difficult economic conditions, domestic and global political instability, and financial struggles.

      “Those who turn down or postpone having a child have recently experienced more negative emotions – such as anxiety and fear – disagree with where the country’s headed and see [the Russian government social program] maternity capital an insignificant measure of support. Meanwhile, the decision to not have a child is more often made by women with children, as well as respondents who have low incomes, in their own opinion, or have seen their income decrease over the past year,” the study says.

      Not having people die in a pointless war would be a nice start

      what a surprise that corruption and thus poverty/censorship made people want less children, and what a surprise that young men sent to die in a pointless war will lead to even more collapse. Putin is such an idiot. He and Trump are equally delusional.

      I like to dunk on Russia as much as the next guy but which at least somewhat developed country ISN’T struggling to reverse worsening demographic trends?

      You mean, sending your young to die in a pointless war isn’t helping? That’s unexpected.

      I don’t even know why people in Russia don’t want to have new children?

      They already have few millions more people after annexation of Ukrainian south regions and “importing” people from Central Asia with Russian passports to replace killed or displaced population there.

      Ukraine is likely to be thrown under the Russian bus, so Russia could annex even more territory and get even more people.

      Their population will be higher after the war. Of course we could see some miracle and bold actions from US/Germany — but it’s incredibly unlikely. Preserving Russian state from shocks is more important than preserving Ukrainian state.

      And all that without a single Nato soldier involved. Best money ever spent by the western world.

      “The Kremlin”.

      This pathetic attempt for clicks using rusia. The whole freaking developed world is struggling.

      Just follow through by advertising those “traditional values” to attract immirants, and they can achieve a brain boost in the west by absorbing all the idiots.

      I wonder what kind of war the EU is in, if demographic indicators in many countries are no better than in Russia, and social programs to increase the birth rate stimulate only emigrants?

      Currently approx 21m Russian males of military age. 16 to 49 yrs oldUS 59m. UK 12m. Etc.

      That’s if hypothetically all conscripted.

      More like 8m max of young men around 20-30.

      Take away vital workers etc – especially as economy more techy.

      Say 4m?

      70, 000 dead. Say 4 times that wounded. 280,000- so perhaps 350,000 casualties. That’ll reach half a million at least.

      Unless you really go extreme war economy- ( ruinous economically) it’s surprising how quickly you start to reach a limit and modern warfare needs a lot of training.

      That’s why Ukraine so angry at recent lblue on blue loss of F16. Not the plane- the trained pilot.

      All this to keep a deeply corrupt ego in power. Look up Magnitsky case with torture and death of Magnitsky. $250m tax money stolen from Russian exchequer. Why Putin so angry? HE stole it!

      A Russian colleague told me being raised by alcohlic fathers was the hell. When her father died eventually there was finally peace of mind.

      When they show smiling happy families on Russian tvs they only show an ideal situation, not the norm. Russian govt doesn’t care about kids when they are born, whether they are raised in authoritarian families or not. They just need workers or soldiers. Most investments of Russia goes to military anyway, not to childcare

      Ooops… finally Putin sees that resources went into tje wrong direction. The cost of war…. Hmmm 🤔…. Can’t keep going with war perpetually, you Neanderthaler poopnugget. Empires unite not divide, if you have actually read history books you would have known that Catherine the Great would have fed you to her dogs. Putin is nothing!! Imbecil!! His the ruin of Russia.

      Nobody wants to have children who will inevitably become soldiers and maybe die… except for the Israelites
