Vyacheslav Volodin, the speaker of the lower house of parliament and an ally of President Vladimir Putin, said a new bill would tackle the “ideology of childlessness.”
Russia’s fight against the West and its values has taken aim this week at an “ideology” that the Kremlin and its allies say threatens the country’s very foundations: people not wanting to have children.
Lawmakers have proposed a ban on “propaganda of conscious refusal to bear children,” Vyacheslav Volodin, the speaker of the lower house of parliament and an ally of President Vladimir Putin, said in a post on Telegram on Tuesday.
It is the latest effort by authorities to combat the demographic strain of falling birth rates, exacerbated by the war in Ukraine, which the Kremlin says could threaten the country’s long-term outlook. In July, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called Russia’s declining birth rate “catastrophic for the future of the nation.”
Can we get the .ml crew in here to explain why this is actually good and freedom? Because I’m a little confused.
Why does ml crew defend modern day Russia? Modern day Russia is not a communist country. I’m confused why any communist would defend the USSR in general, especially after Stalin took power. Makes no damn sense to me.
Because they’re supported, and ‘west bad!!!’.
They support the hell out of chairman pooh as well, and he’s one of the world’s major billionaires according to the paradise papers.
USA bad -> Russia good
It’s because tankies aren’t communists, they’re authoritarians.
Come on, .ml, tell us how the west has fallen and Russia is the last true bastion of civilization and people’s rights. We’re waiting.
found one
The nation starting wars and extracting fossil fuels is soooo concerned with the extinction of humanity.
I too am curious what this has to do with socialism and how it is not simply campist brain rot.
We’re waitinggg…
We cannot.
At the most the only thing that can be said is that the article says “could” and a law is “proposed”. That is already concerning but it is not reality yet at least.
I don’t know enough about Russian law if this maybe just means the guy told another guy while taking a piss in a toilet or if there was an official meeting and tomorrow it is voted on.
this is why .world is full of mostly braindead folks who’ve never had to think for themselves, only what their master propagandists feed them
to be fair, i didn’t have to respond, i did to bust your cocky egos. in what world do supporters of the American Empire think they’re superiors to fanboys of the Russian state? isn’t the repeal of Roe v wade even worse than whatever this Duma member is threatening?
I get why, from your interactions with .ml peers, you would immediately jump to the conclusion that any opposition to any country means that person is a turbofan of all its adversaries. That’s actually a big part of what I am mocking here. Thank you for confirming it is so ingrained that you cannot conceive other people aren’t like that.
You actually didn’t respond really. At best you barfed a whatabautism and then assumed everybody is American.
Feel free to give a real answer if Duma allows you to.
Lmfao do you actually think you sound like the cool vanguard of the people here?
