Visiting the maternity ward at Kurgan Regional Clinical Hospital.
Putin single handily rescued Russia from oblivion. Ten years ago, Russia was losing 900,000 people a year.
Just imagine how those numbers would look without all of the abortions.
If I were a Russian living in Russia....I think I’d like Putin. Some dictators are better than others....
I know some connected, intellectual Russians. They said Putin's strength is he controls the oligarchs (who are competing political forces in their own right). None of them are stronger than the state, and he keeps them in balance.
If Russia needs more people there are millions in the Baltics and elsewhere that would just as soon they be gone.
And yet, the total population is still a mere 144 million - i.e., less than half of that of the U.S.
Regards,
This doesn’t nullify that it could be the Ingush,Chechens and others that are causing the population growth and having bigger families. In fact, if there was a demographic shift (not saying there is), that would also happen.
In fact, fertility rates and Muslims having bigger families has already been written about. http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/2005/08/predicting-a-majority-muslim-russia Not sure if it was in this article by Daniel Pipes but I have read it and admittedly, he is a controversial figure himself.
Putin never gave that speech. It is an internet hoax.

Darn.
Here is a breakdown of fertility rate by administrative unit.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_federal_subjects_of_Russia_by_total_fertility_rate
Notice how the fertility rates are high in Muslim Chechnya (2.93) or Ingushetia (2.23) and Mongol Tuva (3.42) or Altai (2.82), but low in places having some sort of civilization like Moscow (1.33) or Leningrad Oblast (1.23).
The mongol regions are very poor so the child support goes a long way there and there is nothing to do in these places but to fight and fornicate. The murder rates of these places are rather insane
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_federal_subjects_of_Russia_by_murder_rate
Tuva (36.9) and Altai (25.9)
What would those numbers look like if you exclude Muslim births?
Chechen Teen Bride Scandal Puts Putin In Bind

Don’t think Sharia law is not there in full force, this is a recent scandal over there.
Personally, since Chechnya is on the outer reaches of Russia, I think they should let it go along with other similar states of Russia. They fought two wars there for what? Oil? I’m unsure. Russia already has lots of oil and they basically have a sort of puppet there in Kadyrov. Just letting these states go might have some effect on the demographics.
Why don’t we allow California to leave the Union and become a part of Mexico? Same thing applies to Chechnya which is why they’re not permitted to leave the Federation.
Are you a communist?
Somewhere I read, maybe Pat Buchanan said it himself, that Russian Nationalists read Pat’s books. Pat of course, has written books like “Suicide of a Superpower” and “Death of the West”. Maybe the speech was not really made but reading it, it does seem to reflect this about some things Buchanan has said.
But as I point out, as so many Russophiles or Putinistas seem to ignore, Russia too, certainly has its problems.
Off-topic a bit,
An interesting article on one of the co-founders of RT who was found dead in a hotel in Washington DC last November:
I guess, the investigation has not in fact, pronounced an actual cause of death yet after 2 months.
No.
