Moscow, March 31, Interfax - The number of abortions in Russia has decreased by 39% in the past five years, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova said.
"I want to note that, since 2016, the number of abortions in Russia has decreased by 39%. These are serious figures, yet there is still potential on this issue," Golikova told the government's Social Security Council.
In 2020, Russia continued to open centers of medico-social support for pregnant women who find themselves in difficult circumstances, Golikova said. "Despite the complicated time, the pandemic, these centers advised over 230,000 women and almost 50,000 of them, i.e., 22%, decided to keep their babies and were taken under medical prenatal observation," she said.
There has been a serious reduction in the number of reproductive-age women in Russia, Golikova said. "The number of women aged between 20 and 29 has dropped by 37.5% since 2010 to just over 7.5 million. Such a serious reduction in the number of women of reproductive age leads, among other things, to fewer births in Russia," she said.
The average age of first-time mothers has shifted to 30, Golikova said.
The decrease in births has slowed down, with more men and women now wanting to start a family, she said.
"The measures taken in 2020 helped to substantially slow the decline in births: whereas in 2019, births were falling at a rate of almost eight percent, in 2020, that figure was already three percent. So one could talk about a trend toward a slower decrease in births," Golikova said.
Various polls have found that "a quarter of men and women today are oriented toward a one-child family, and over three percent of women and over four percent of men are not planning to have children," she said.
"Data from Rosstat [national statistics office] shows that we do have the potential, and families that would like to have three or more kids, such families account for about 17%, and those who would like to have a large family account for over 27% among women and over 26% among men," Golikova said.
"The poll findings are reassuring, and the additional measures we could try out will have a positive effect on the demographic trend," she said.
Result of programs paying people to have babies, me’thinks.
Putin Extends Cash Payouts for Babies to Counter Population Slump
The irony is that Russia organized and exported Marxist chaos to the West, now it is under attack from organized Neo-marxist chaos from the West.
Whatever you say about Putin and Russia’s politics, the leadership there grasps the fact that slavishly following the globalist, materialist, post-modern, financialist, globohomo program is designed to diminish and destroy Russia.
The Great Awakening.
NCSWIC.
The West may be technically closer to the sun (the "Son") than Russia, but Russia is facing the right direction and heading towards the sun/Son; we are still making our way towards the dark side.
Barring an incredible amount of penance on our part and an incredible amount of mercy on God's, there's no stopping our trajectory.
In church we used to pray for the conversion of Russia, now please pray for the conversion of America.
True. Now we need conversion.
I remember when America used to believe in God and Russia didn’t.
“MOSCOW — Low domestic birthrates and rising immigration from the former Soviet republics are producing explosive growth in Russia’s Muslim community, which is on a track to account for more than half the population by midcentury.
“Russia is going through a religious transformation that will be of even greater consequence for the international community than the collapse of the Soviet Union,” said Paul Goble, a specialist on Islam in Russia and research associate at the University of Tartu in Estonia.
Two decades ago, the Sobornaya Mosque was the only Islamic house of worship allowed in the Soviet Union. It stood largely empty, filling only with the occasional large foreign delegation from an Islamic country.
Today, it is one of four mosques in Moscow serving a Muslim population of about 2.5 million. On Fridays and holy days, it overflows with worshippers, leaving many to kneel on newspapers outside, their foreheads pressed against the concrete.”

Russia pays women to have children and gives them free formula for 6 months, plus medical care.
Russia is becoming pro-life.
While Russian women are having babies, America is convincing its young girls that they may be boys or androgynous. Already double digits are doing it.
I have a Russian buddy, got out of Russia in 92; came to Alaska. He has achieved the American dream and is involved with orthodox church; his parent and grandparents were atheists; you lost your job otherwise. Putin is building churches all over Siberia, Putin did it. My friend told me the churches are overflowing standing room only, with young people, not grandmas. People search for spirituality. Now my friend doesn’t trust Putin but he’s doing so many good things for the Russkies and this influences the outlook for the future.
That is good news!
And the U.S. international agenda is to spread homosexuality across the world.
People don’t realize Obama is persona non grata and is permanently barred from entering Russia because the last time he was there he met with and encouraged pornographers, including child pornographers, directly against the Russian government’s request. Obama called it “freedom of speech,”
And, Russia is the country standing firm on Judeo-Christianity and refusing to bend the knee on issues like gay marriage, homosexuality and transgenderism.
Russia has been reborn and appears to have been consecrated to God, too ... and all of this has been done by Jesus Himself, if what I’ve read is true.
I choose to believe this as fact nowadays.
Russia has been reborn and is on the path to becoming a spiritual leader shining God’s Light in an evermore decadent world.
The old Soviets are dead ... well, unless their latest iteration can complete transmorgrifying itself and US into marx madnessssss’s newest and most badass risen hell spawn on Earth, that is.
We are being made to follow their well-marked path into infamy and darkness.
Maybe we are or will be Revelation 17’s modern whore of Babylon?
Whatever has a hold over US most certainly is a part of it.
That comes a little closer to the truth.
The number of hospital abortions, bank robberies, and instances of marital infidelity in Hiroshima and Nagasaki likewise plummeted in the weeks and months after dropping the Bomb. But that's not good news.

Also Poland and Hungary. Interesting how the other side of the iron curtain is now wanting to be more like we are. Even when they make mistakes these days, they are what they football coach used to call “hustling mistakes”.
