Part of this is laughable when you know the facts. For example: "Having children has become something like atavism in the West which causes too much discomfort and trouble to people's professional careers and personal development"

A reduced birthrate IS a problem in the west. However, the birthrate in the USA is 2.07 births per couple, whereas Russia's is 1.2... equal to that of Italy and the only other major western nation that has a lower birth rate is Spain at 1.1 births per couple...

Check out this great article on that particular subject:

But then again, Pravda's sophistries are what we have long come to expect from a country that is now ally to Syria, Iran and Cuba, and that is still interested in dealing with the North Koreans. We delude ourselves about Russia if we do not see them for what they really are. Pravda is merely the mouthpiece for the Russian master deceivers.

You're so right. This statement coming from a Russian newspaper is laughable. Russia was the very first nation on earth to legalize abortion, and it was from Russia that this horror spread itself over the world.
