My bet is that life is going to get increasingly more uncomfortable for people who don’t have kids in Ruzzia. Putin has his minions, ready to harass anyone who he deems an “enemy of the state”, be it gay people, people who oppose the war, people wearing blue and yellow clothing and now people who don’t have kids.

I wonder – what is their general public attitude towards teenage mothers, single mothers and deadbeat fathers?

what other plans for the future? Are you American scum to have plans for the future? The country needs new soldiers for another useless war in which hundreds of thousands of soldiers will die. GIVE BIRTH!

He’s really desperate. The harsh truth is that no country has ever been able to successfully get the fertility rate back to replacement rate (2.1) after falling below it.

The tax on childlessness was in the USSR. So I expect it to be in Russia as well soon.
P. S. Yesterday there was also news about project that girls who are under 19 years old, but who have a child, the state will award additional points for university entrance exams.

They tried living a child-free lifestyle, and they got arrested.
People having kids in Russia must be insane… 300 years from now, it will be reclaimed by nature.
Oh yes, that TOTALLY doesn’t sound completely deranged and coming from a collapsing government. Of course, that sounds completely reasonable
