Few births in Russia, Putin 'forces' to make love at work

Blitz TV Few births in Russia, Putin 'forces' to make love at work Article by Cecco Prestina • 37M • 3 minutes read Vladimir Putin has ordered Russians to make love at their workplace during lunch and coffee breaks to counter Russia's falling birth rate. The 'love-to-work' program was ordered because the current birth rate is about 1.5 children per woman, well below the rate of 2.1 needed to stabilize the population. More than a million Russians, mostly young people, have emigrated from the country due to the ongoing war with Ukraine. Putin said: "Protecting the Russian people is our highest national priority. The fate of Russia... depends on how many of us there are. It is a matter of national importance." Health Minister Dr. Yevgeny Shestopalov said: "Being very busy at work is not a valid reason, but an unconvincing excuse. It is possible to procreate during breaks because life goes too fast." A journalist asked him how busy people find the time to have children: "There are people who work 12-14 hours: when do they have children?" The minister's answer was icy: "During breaks." The strange measures to encourage Russians to procreate This is just one of many demands from the Kremlin to encourage people to have more children. For example, in Moscow, women between the ages of 18 and 40 are asked to undergo free fertility tests to assess their "reproductive potential." MP Tatyana Butskaya, 49, has developed a model that allows employers to force women to have children. He said: "Large families are becoming the new elite." Regional governors should report on birth rates. Every employer should look at their workplace: what is the birth rate? Here in your team. Students are paid for procreation “Of every person who can give birth this year, do you have one more child this year, or not?” This is exactly how we should ask this question... we will monitor it. In a year, of course, our task is to increase it.” Another region of Russia, Chelyabinsk, even pays female students under the age of 24 8,500 euros for the birth of their first child. Access to abortion is also blocked throughout the country, as public figures and clergy argue that it is women's duty to bear and raise children. Politician Anna Kuznetsova also called for women to start giving birth at a young age. She said: “You should start giving birth at 19-20 years old. Then, statistically, the family can have three, four or more children.” MP Zhanna Ryabtseva added: “Give birth, give birth and give birth again, you have to give birth, give birth at 18.” It is estimated that by 2050, Russia's population will fall from the current 144 million to 130 million or less. But how many children does Putin have? It is believed that Putin wants Russians to follow his example and have lots of children. The problem is that he has never told Russians how many children he has. The official figure is believed to be two daughters from his previous marriage to former first lady Lyudmila Putina. But journalists recently confirmed that Putin has more children, including two boys aged nine and five, with his long-term lover Alina Kabaeva, 41, a former Olympic gymnast and gold medalist.
