Russians in the Nizhny Novgorod Oblast receive one million rubles (about $10,000) for the birth of each child they have, starting from next year, amid the country’s sinking birth rate.
Governor Gleb Nikitin’s announcement was reported in the Institute for the Study of War (ISW)’s Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment on Tuesday.
Russia’s current birth rate is 1.5 children per woman, and a birth rate of 2.1 children per woman is needed to sustain a population.
I’m sorry to say, but Russia has no hope or future left. It’s completely done for. A true tragedy for a country that could have been a multi-trillion dollar economy.
Then again, Russia has been the way it has been for 300+ years.

That’s 10k USD now but only 2.5 USD next year.

With their current inflation rates 1m rubles soon won’t be enough for a month.

Now they take the word trollfarms literally. Even if this would be enough to raise a kid halfways through childhood in russia, how big is the chance they pay out this money to everyone?

One million roubles!?! That’s worth about €9500…
€9400…
€9300…

10% bonus if they are born without fetal alcohol syndrome.

Well it would take that amount of money to travel to France or something to be treated for infertility so it makes sense

Your firstborn son, growing sunflowers in the fields of Ukraina? De nada!
For your second son: One million roubles, Moscow Gold, gone the way of the new Lada.

Europe should step in and offer Russian families 1.5 million rubles to **not** have children.
We can solve the Russian problem in a generation or so.

Someone should propose the opposite, and double it: 2 mill rubles per russian head.

10k not enough for all the fuss of having a kid in that country, or honestly anywhere in the world nowadays.

I wonder tho, will the woman also recive the same money if she just gives the child up for Adoption? Because if that is the case you can clearly become a full time breeding machine as the average income is around 1,3 million a year. Just give birth every 9 months and you earn around the same as someone working full time…

I assume Russia is going to start doing this once Putin stops focusing on decreasing Russian population.

Some people talk about low birth rates, and others do something about low birth rates.

It makes little sense to pay people to have kids.
