Couldn't have anything to do with Putin giving respect and priority to the Orthodox Christian Church, could it? Nah. Never mind.
Yeah.
Been there, seen that.
Putin’s Russia pays new mothers the equivalent of $11,000 per kid now I believe for the first 3 years.
And of course he is pushing the Orthodox church back into it’s anchor role in Russian society, the bad girls of Pussy Riot found out the hard way he’s serious about that...
They had a precipitous drop in the birth rate after the fall of Communism, as their mediocre - but predictable - economy fell apart.
With the oil & gas business now dominating, and Russian consuemerism in Really High Gear (go to a cosmetics store in Moscow), they now have more confidence in the future.
And Putin is stamping out the suicidal social mores of Communism like Abortion and Homosexuality.
He’s obviously a Statist, but more in the German sense - he’s now essentially a Russian fascist. But that means he knows that without a Russian populace, he and his fascist buddies got nothin’. Only a bunch of angry Kazakhs to the South and unimpressed Europeans to the West.
So he plans to revive the Russian people. What good is being King if you got no people to rule over?
There’s a message there for the other “leaders” of the world. Stomping on your own people means you end up with nothing after a generation or two.
What’s really incredible is a populace that would vote for garbage who hates them. Guess that’s a special form of masochism.
