You probably have a rude awakening to come though, honestly, I too find breathtaking the decisiveness and elegance with which they keep to leninist objectives and deploy leninist strategies.
The push to reduce abortion in Russia (just like the state-sanctioned and ballyhooed return to Christianity courtesy of corporate sponsors and Alexei's careful maintaining of strictures against public practice of any but the Orthodox faith), is simply a survival tactic no different than Stalin's invocation of God for the duration of the war.
I noticed the anti-abortion placards on the Metro in Moscow. (Very effective imagery, actually.) But I also noticed, in long talks with a woman of St. Petersburg, that the slew of state-sanctioned privileges accorded women in an effort to encourage them to reproduce has not made the slightest dent in the 6:1 ratio of abortions to births in the former Soviet Union.
