Russian governor: screw off all afternoon

The Russians are getting serious about their demographic tailspin. But I don't see the carrot (afternoon delight and free washing machines) being as effective as a stick (ban abortion, restrict birth control). The problem is not that people can't find time to mate; it's that they can find no reason to bring children into the world.

This opinion is a subjective sentiment. If you have not lived in Russia, then you have no clue of how people live there. It's not about not willing bringing a child into the world, but about raising a child in the financial difficulties of Russia. And the situation like that was along all Russian history.
