Russian President Vladimir Putin is urging women to have as many as eight children as the number of dead Russian soldiers continues to rise in his war with Ukraine, worsening the country's population crisis.
Addressing the World Russian People's Council in Moscow on Tuesday, Putin said the country must return to a time when large families were the norm.
"Many of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers had seven, eight, or even more children," Putin said.
"Let us preserve and revive these excellent traditions. Large families must become the norm, a way of life for all of Russia's people. The family is not just the foundation of the state and society; it is a spiritual phenomenon, a source of morality."
"Preserving and increasing the population of Russia is our goal for the coming decades and even generations ahead. This is the future of the Russian world, the millennium-old, eternal Russia," Putin continued.
Putin's remarks come amid decades of falling birth rates in Russia that its invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent economic fallout have only made worse.

Imagine that??
One of our resident FR deep-state, Zeeper, neocon trolls posting propaganda written by the deep-state?!
So you’re claiming that Putin (or his double) did NOT make those specific remarks at the World Russian People’s Council in Moscow this week?
Your Holiness, friends,*waving to my newly assigned Fed because I am probably on some watch list now*You know that the Executive Order declaring next year – 2024 – the Year of the Family in Russia has already been signed. And I would like to say that this decision is indeed based on the position of the absolute majority of our society. I am sure the World Russian People’s Council unanimously supports it as well.
Here is what I would like to say and make clear. We will not overcome the daunting demographic challenges facing us solely with money, social benefits, allowances, privileges, or dedicated programmes. True, the amount of the budget’s demographic spending is extremely important, but that is not all there is to it. A person’s points of reference in life matter more. Love, trust, and a solid moral foundation are what the family and the birth of a child are built on. We must never forget this.
Thankfully, many of our ethnic groups have preserved the tradition of having strong multigenerational families with four, five, or even more children. Let us remember that Russian families, many of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers had seven, eight, or even more children.
Let us preserve and revive these excellent traditions. Large families must become the norm, a way of life for all Russia’s peoples. The family is not just the foundation of the state and society, it is a spiritual phenomenon, a source of morality.
All levels of government, our economic, social and infrastructure policies, education and awareness-raising, and healthcare should be engaged without exception in the work of supporting families, mothers and children. All public organisations and our traditional religions should focus on strengthening families as well. Preserving and increasing the population of Russia is our goal for the coming decades and even generations ahead. This is the future of the Russian world, the millennium-old, eternal Russia.
Your Holiness, friends, we have many ambitious goals before us, and fulfilling them requires a truly concerted effort, which we are ready for. We have become stronger. Our historical regions have returned to Russia. Society is rejecting everything superficial and turning to true and genuine values.
Pyotr Stolypin emphasised that law based on national power takes precedence. Together, we have shown such national strength and national will, the determination to uphold our fundamental interests, the fundamental interests of the people of Russia, to be guided not by someone else's borrowed views, but by our own sovereign worldviews, our understanding of how the family and the entire country should live, and to build Russia for ourselves and our children.
“If Putin is telling Russian women to have eight kids because of the huge losses of men who is supposed to impregnate all these women?”
Passport Bros, we up!
Unlike GooberCons in the West, Putin understands demography is destiny.
As single mothers, or married polygynously? With hero sperm Russia’s own Lebensborn? So their sons can be cannon fodder fur the next Putin? Maybe all the women should go Lysistrata until Putin makes peace.
Russia has traditionally had high abortion rates because
women were expected to both work outside the home and do most of the housework and
Goods (contraception) were scarce while labor was cheap (surgical abortion) and
there is no God, only the state.
Three generations set the pattern.
Russian Orthodox priests in traditional head gear.
So in other words if you don’t like what is being reported, it must be propaganda. If you do like what is being reported, it must be true.
If you missed the deluge in Biden/Neocon propaganda regarding Ukraine in the MSM I suggest you climb back under your rock 🪨
Sounds like a job for Laz.
>>> As long as one certain part works I gues!!
“Well, How do you think I rang the doorbell???”
There are so many threads here that seek not to persuade or convince using facts and well reasoned arguments, but to exploit FR's conservatism and MAGA support to transfer it to Russia using misdirection and logical fallacies. It's kind of hard to say that the left uses emotion, and the right uses logic when reading FR anymore. There really isn't anything but "I hate X, and Y hates X, therefore Y is right".
Which is, if course, the reason Snake posted his article.Which you fail to dispute.
i know a russian woman who claims she had 9 abortions in 7 years.
Why the F would an American citizen take foreign policy advice from a Canadian, a country fresh off the embarrassment of honoring a Nazi in your parliament? Furthermore, this Nazi honoree is receiving a full Canadian pension even after his exposure as being a genocidal war criminal. Take my advice, stick with ice hockey and Molsens. They’re about the only noteworthy items coming to US from your frozen wasteland.
Dang!
I know Germans who are more Patriotic towards America than Donkey Herdsman Fanatical Putin Stooge America Hater JonPreston.
