I do believe Russia is offering families with 10+ kids tax amnesty. Maybe they’re desperate.

They are desperate. They have barely recovered from the baby bust of the early 90s after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It also took that long for their energy sector to recover.

If their ability to export food and energy ever takes a big hit, the early 90s for them will look like the the post WW2 baby boom in the US does to us.
