I wonder if there's anything they could be doing to reduce the deaths of their young men who are of age to start building families (20-30 year olds)? It must be a total mystery if they're resorting to using female prisoners as breeders. I guess we'll never know.

These fears over population collapse are the weirdest form of mass hysteria I've ever seen.

Rape will become a patriotic duty

Shithole country

Lol invade Ukraine after promising not to. Getting entire generations of sperm makers killed in illegal war. Force female prisoners to be baby factories. Ladies and gentlemen: the bad guys.

That reminds me. Anyone here ever hear about the bureaucratized rape in West Virginia coal mining camps back in the day? If a man was injured and couldn't work his wife could take "Esau scrip" which she would have to pay back with her body. Capitalism! The entire situation is a stark reminder that capitalists wil LITERALLY rape and murder you to protect their position.

Here's a crazy idea to make your population grow: how about not sending your people to die in a war?

Prisons in russia are starting to look like revolving doors. Women get out if they choose to give birth, men if they choose to throw themselves into the meat grinder.

Ah. Coming to a ‘Murica near you soon.

Our species is totally on a brink of extinction.

This sounds much easier than creating a society where people feel happy and secure enough to have families. I wonder when 45 will add this to his campaign checklist.

Putlers Youth to a theater near you, coming soon. Fuck that guy!

Never thought that Russia would become the Republic of Gilead, but I suppose they want to excel at something.

The plans included funding for new mothers and not just "maternity capital" for families with two or more children, in addition to welfare benefits for low-income families and free school meals for a four-year period.

Hey regressives! You love Russia so much, why don’t we follow their example?

☹️

Glad to see that the long-lasting tradition of Reddit to only read the clickbait title is still alive here too.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

A member of the Russian State Duma has proposed releasing women convicted of minor charges from prisons so they can conceive, part of an effort to boost the country's low birthrate amid a period of high mortality.

Julia Davis, journalist and creator of the Russian Media Monitor, posted a photo Thursday on X (formerly Twitter) showing a billboard featuring a split image of a baby in the womb on one side and a young child wearing military fatigues and saluting.

In a piece published Thursday by The Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA), Davis documented how Russia's population dwindled by about 997,000 people between October 2020 and September 2021—its largest ever peacetime decline.

She also noted that the Kremlin has attempted to combat the population decrease by forcibly bringing in Ukrainian refugees, women and some 700,000 children—of which war crime warrants were issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova, commissioner for Children's Rights in the Office of the President of the Russian Federation.

The foundation, which has allegedly received grants and funding directly from the Kremlin, also openly instructs its volunteers to employ "manipulation" and deceit when talking with pregnant women.

Dasha Yakovleva, co-founder of the Feminitive Community women's group, told the Associated Press last month that a public protest involving 60 or so pro-choice advocates at a bookstore in Kaliningrad was meant to send a message to Putin and his ilk about attempts to ban abortions in private clinics.

The original article contains 1,008 words, the summary contains 245 words. Saved 76%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Russian rape factories.

'Fall rather than decrease' wtf? And it's a good thing for there to be less people, there are too many in the world anyway.

The fantasy of infinite growth seems to include people as well to capitalists, and as I already mentioned, it's a fantasy.
