Russia is going after TV series Game of Thrones, Sex and the City, and the Harry Potter franchise in an effort to purge what it claims is the promotion of "childfree ideology."

It comes as Russia grapples with a dwindling birth rate and as President Vladimir Putin scrambles to encourage women to have children.
