MOSCOW, May 10 — President Vladimir V. Putin today directed the Russian Parliament to adopt a 10-year program to stop Russia's sharply declining population, principally by offering financial incentives and subsidies to encourage Russian women to have more children.
Mr. Putin's instructions, issued to a compliant Parliament that follows his orders almost without fail, formed the center of his annual address, and signaled a new Kremlin priority to confront a problem that demographers and scholars have warned endangers the long-term future of the Russian state.
Instead, he took up the cause of fertility. "I propose a program that would promote the birthrate, namely, measures aimed at support for young families, support for women making decisions to give birth and raise their children," he said. "We have to encourage the birth of at least a second child."
He called for a wide range of subsidies and financial incentives, some to be paid for by the government and others by employers. These included increasing government subsidies for children up to 18 months of age to about $53 a month for a first child and about $107 for a second child. Mothers currently receive about $25 per month for a child up to 18 months old.

Putin offers $16,000 reward, honorary title to Russian women who have 10 children
LOL, Putin needs future cannon fodder.
“Your Biden would never do this”
Nor should he. We have the biggest incentive to have kids already. Welfare.
—”Regarding abortion, it’s WAY down under Putin”
What is your definition of “way down”?

What was your screen name before this one?
The pro-life message really gets under your skin, eh?
Here’s a good statistic; how many Russian parents brought their children into surgery for a sex change, as opposed to Americans?
The permissibility of changing sex was enshrined in Russian law back in 1997. At that time, various international organizations, including the World Health Organization, set the tone in the formation of certain norms,” Chuychenko told Russian news outlet TASS on Monday.
Link please, and my question was how many Russians have undergone sex changes.
—”Link please,”
I seldom see any links to your vast suppositions.
It is out there and easy to find.
It would be easier if you supplied it, but have it your way.
If Planned Parenthood was actually about families, they’d be promoting these same ideas.
But, no, they’re about abortion mills and, now, tranny treatments and surgeries.
The year 2006 is included in the thread title. Also, the date of the article is clearly stated.
Is English your first language?
Where you are may require a VPN; check with your overseer if you can visit the real world, just for a little bit, or until you need glasses.
“For 2021 live birth=1402834...Abortions =466100”
And the US is TWICE that number, so what’s your point, proud of the US Number or something?
“This article is from 2006, nearly 15 years after the USSR dissolved.”
They seem to be trying to top Zelensky for looking like idiots.
“Nice dodge, but the Soviet attitude was that kids are state assets”
Link please.
I’m in a place you can’t afford and probably can’t spell given the next nonsense you post 👍🤡
