Best wishes for your success, Patriarch Kirill!

If we manage to cut the number of abortions by 50 percent we would have stable and powerful population growth

Imagine saying that in the U.S. Congress. Every Rat would be on his feet shouting No! No!

They know that would be the end of the game for them. Population growth is supposed to be from Third World immigration, to displace and replace the Evil Caucasians.

The concept of a nation expanding on its own - as it did from 1787 to 1973 - is anathema to them.

Who would have thought that Russia would become a Christian republic and that the USA would descend into decadence by 2015?

Wouldn't it be a supreme irony if Americans one day pmfound themselves fleeing to Russia for liberty, justice, and the American Dream!

More than anything, to grow their population, Russia needs to decentralize. There are long, empty stretches along the trans-Siberian railroad that in summer look like Indiana. Except they are almost empty of people.

There is much to offer there: wilderness, a lack of pollution, cheap land for development, etc. Putin could set up family oriented “administrative cities”, where most jobs are rote paperwork jobs, but are otherwise pretty boring, with little to do other than to have and raise children.

Wow!
Who’d have thought there was that much freedom under Putin?
