According to this Russia’s abortion rate has declined steeply form the unreal numbers in the early 90’s, which supports your idea. It could be that they are just using better birth control now, I suppose. Does anyone know if there is an official Russian Orthodox position on birth control within marriage? I have heard different things from posters on here before.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/markadomanis/2013/02/09/are-there-really-13-abortions-for-every-10-live-births-in-russia/

“So, in 2012 there were about 42 abortions per 100 live births, not 130. The last time the number of abortions exceeded the number of births by 30% or more was in 2002. Additionally, rather than representing “the most grisly statistic the world has ever seen,” an abortion rate 30% larger than the birth rate was actually a huge improvement from rates that prevailed in the early 1990s”

According to this, there was a peak of something like 280 abortions per 100 live births in the early 90’s.

They are at least birthing Russians.
We are birthing people associated often with other countries who are mostly all welfare dependent.

Our adopted Kamchatka son was conceived in 1991, born in 1992, at the very height of the Russian abortion massacre years. We are very fortunate that his mother gave him birth, and did not leave him in a bucket in a clinic in Elisovo.

Thank you, Larisa Ivanovna Kavilkavov, and God bless you.

Thank you, Lord Jesus.
