Russia suffers from the destruction of religion and morals in the post-communist era there. Much like in the West, the family has been replaced as the central building block of society due to women’s rights, etc. Too many men are just drunks, and the women have decided they don’t want or need a man for support. Few women want to have children, and those who do, don’t want too many. Putin’s war is killing off men by the hundreds of thousands, which will obviously lower the population growth. Yet, we can expect that Muslims will continue to multiply like rabbits, while the nominally Christian can’t reproduce themselves to maintain their numbers. The future of Russia is bleak.
Agreed.
