Visiting the maternity ward at Kurgan Regional Clinical Hospital.
Putin single handily rescued Russia from oblivion. Ten years ago, Russia was losing 900,000 people a year.
Just imagine how those numbers would look without all of the abortions.
If I were a Russian living in Russia....I think I’d like Putin. Some dictators are better than others....
And yet, the total population is still a mere 144 million - i.e., less than half of that of the U.S.

This doesn’t nullify that it could be the Ingush,Chechens and others that are causing the population growth and having bigger families. In fact, if there was a demographic shift (not saying there is), that would also happen.
Here is a breakdown of fertility rate by administrative unit.

Notice how the fertility rates are high in Muslim Chechnya (2.93) or Ingushetia (2.23) and Mongol Tuva (3.42) or Altai (2.82), but low in places having some sort of civilization like Moscow (1.33) or Leningrad Oblast (1.23).
The mongol regions are very poor so the child support goes a long way there and there is nothing to do in these places but to fight and fornicate. The murder rates of these places are rather insane

Tuva (36.9) and Altai (25.9)
What would those numbers look like if you exclude Muslim births?
