Regional health minister says those who are busy with careers can ‘create offspring’ on work breaks
While addressing a crowd at the Eurasian Women’s Forum in St. Petersburg on Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin hailed government policy geared toward helping women achieve the ultimate balance — professional success while being the linchpin “of a large, large family.”
He went on to joke that Russian women can manage it easily, and still remain “beautiful, gentle and charming.”
His comments are the latest in a public push by government officials to try and reverse Russia’s sinking birth rate by appealing to a sense of patriotic duty and promising financial incentives to sway prospective parents.
Russia’s fertility rate — which measures the average number of children born to a woman over a lifetime — stands at approximately 1.4, less than what is considered the rate for population replacement, which is 2.1. Kremlin officials have labelled Russia’s statistic “catastrophic,” and it comes at a time of higher mortality among younger Russian men due to the war in Ukraine.
You know who else told women it was their patriotic duty to make babies?
These fucks.
How to create a baby boom in Russia or any country.
Step 1: Stop the wars of aggression.
Step 2: Increase pay so that one person can provide for a family.
Step 3: Open borders for trade and travel.
Step 4: Create housing for families do that they can afford.
Step 5: Free quality healthcare and childcare.
Step 6: Invest heavily in schools and pay living wages.
Step 7: Promote massive immigration from countries with a higher birthrate. The citizens of your country know you are full of shit and ain’t falling for it
I did step 3 and everyone left, what do I do now?
Acquire large amounts of polonium
The Health ministry demands more meat for the grinder.

Fuck breaks
That’s such a stupid misunderstanding of what it takes to raise children. Sure, you can fuck on your lunch break, but once the kid pops out you can’t squeeze raising a whole ass human in between meetings, asshole.
Imagine being a second class citizen in your own country and your govt says “hey make us more babies for our war machine k thanks”
They wouldn’t need to increase their birth rate to replacement levels if they end the war in Ukraine and adopt more pluralistic policies and provide better job opportunities and social securities for immigrants.
He won’t see today’s kids going to school, but he’d like their fathers sinking in debts for them and signing contracts now.
