Considering how dire Russia’s situation is when it comes to demographics, I don’t see why one would criticize Putin for this. Russia is becoming like Japan. They are not having children. Now, I don’t understand why these children are not being adopted by Russians, unless what someone else said is true that many of them have severe emotional problems.
Still, why should we expect another country to give us their kids?
Adoption is not generally accepted in Russia
The children in institutions are regarded as offspring of undesirables, usually alcohlics or drug abusers or mentally ill parents, or illegtimate and not accepted by the birth mother’s family or cnat be raised by a sinlgle woman given the lack of support in Russian society and economy.
The longer the kids spend in institutions the more they deteriorate. Kids who have notable imperfections, even missing limbs, are consigned to “Imbecile Asylums”
God help any of mixed race.
I’ve adopted 2 and been in many orphanages in one region and seen for myself
Yup, an honest (or one not so lazy) media would cover this story from this angle.
This has nothing to do with demographics, and everything to do with revenge. We have Russian kids in our family who were not adopted, rescued from Russia where they were raped, neglected, and otherwise abused. After my sister paid the judge off with the obligatory American liquor and American cash they demand, he asked my sister, “You have plenty of children. Why do you want these broken children?”
Putin is a bad man. The orphans there are treated worse than what they would be if adopted. Russia has a 50+% abortion rate, what makes you think they give a rip about a few “broken” orphans?
