    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Russia

    As of 2024, the total fertility rate across Russia is estimated to be 1.41 children born per woman,[18] which is below the replacement rate of 2.1 and among the lowest in the world.[19] Subsequently, it has one of the oldest populations in the world, with a median age of 41.9 years.

    I mean, I agree that they've got to do something, but I don't think that that this is likely going to do it. I don't think that the limiting factor here is sex appeal.

    I'm also dubious about the information-control thing they've been doing:

    https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-battling-birth-rate-dip-is-working-child-free-ideology-ban-says-putin-2024-09-24/

    Russia, battling birth rate dip, is working on 'child-free' ideology ban, says Putin ally

    Sept 24 (Reuters) - The Russian parliament is working on a law that would ban what the authorities cast as the harmful promotion of a child-free way of life with heavy fines for "childlessness propaganda", a close ally of President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday.

    I think that the larger issue is people not wanting to raise children.

    Why would they want to have children to just sacrifice them to putins war machine? They already live in a corrupt oligarchy. Fuck bringing kids into that mess. I hope the people of Russia overthrow Putin and literally save the world soon

            (Week old news but didn’t see it anywhere)
            Russian women should wear mini-skirts more frequently to help boost the country’s birth rate, a local legislator has suggested.

                    Oh, in the videos I've seen they all look extremely young. But maybe that doesn't paint the whole picture.

                    These young are from ethnic minorities, they don't count.

                      Less to do with the SMO and more to do with the population drinking themselves to death since the Tsars.

                      The invasion also drove quite a few people away from the country that are of an age to have children.

                        They used to be at the start of the war when the majority of the army was conscripts and normal soldiers. Most of those are dead now and have been replaced with criminals and people tempted by the very generous signing bonuses and debt forgiveness.

                        There's also the fact Russia just doesn't have many 20 year olds. The birth rate in Russia fell off a cliff in the 90s, so there are far more 40+ year olds.

                          People conscripted into the Russian Armed Forces aren’t sent into the Special Military Operation Zone.

                          This has been the case in previous conflicts involving Russia including when Russian troops were sent into Ukraine in 2014 and 2015 during Donbas War with only contractors being sent in.

                          Only contractors were and we know their losses, it is 16K up to now:

                          (From quite a few weeks ago, might be a bit dated)

                          Motorized Rifles: 6,457

                          VDV: 3,257

                          Naval Infantry: 1,305

                          Tank Crew: 1,806

                          Artillery: 851

                          Special Forces: 736

                          Engineering: 291

                          Navy: 291

                          VVS: 265

                          Other: 957

                          Total: 16,216

                          Source: MediaZona

                          For comparison:

                          US losses from 2003-2005 mainly against insurgents: 5175

                          Source: Defense Casualty Analysis System

                          have been replaced with criminals and people tempted by the very generous signing bonuses and debt forgiveness.

                          Basically yes:

                          "From early summer and into the mid-fall season of 2022, volunteers bore the brunt of the losses, which is strikingly different from the situation in the initial stage of the war: in winter and early spring, the Airborne Forces suffered the greatest damage, followed by the Motorised Rifle troops.

                          By the end of 2022 and the beginning of the next year, losses among prisoners recruited into the Wagner PMC increased markedly. They were formed into “assault groups” to overwhelm Ukrainian positions near Bakhmut.

                          By March 2023, prisoners became the largest category of war losses. After the capture of Bakhmut, there have been no cases of mass use of prisoners so far.

                          By September 2024, volunteers once again emerged as the largest category among the KIA. This shift reflects a cumulative effect: prison recruitment had significantly waned, no new mobilisation had been announced, yet the stream of volunteers continued unabated.

                          By March 14, the death of over 4,800 officers of the Russian army and other security agencies had been confirmed.

                          The proportion of officer deaths among overall casualties has steadily declined since the conflict began. In the early stages, when professional contract soldiers formed the main invasion force, officers accounted for up to 10% of fatalities. By November 2024, this figure had dropped to between 2–3%—a shift that reflects both evolving combat tactics and the intensive recruitment of volunteer infantry, who suffer casualty rates many times higher than their commanding officers."

                          The only time when professionals bore the brunt of the losses amongst Russian forces was in winter and early spring of 2022, they were quickly beaten by the blood that was shed from irregular volunteer formations in mid-fall, the death toll amongst irregular volunteer formations were eventually surpassed by prisoners in 2023 before irregular volunteer formations again emerged as highest category among the KIA later on.

                            Indeed, and it probably resulted in some nasty brain drain.

                                  Russian women should wear mini-skirts more frequently to help boost the country’s birth rate, a local legislator has suggested.

                                  Has anyone noticed lately the uptick in overly cute videos of Chinese parents playing with their kids on social media every fucking day in the last month? They're on the front page of reddit everyday new video, and they all have weird musical multi camera fake vibes around them.

                                  This is not a conspiracy theory, they are all setup and produced to maniplate mellinial couples to produce the next generation of workworms for the companies owned by CPP billionares.

                                      Another strategy - fucking during breaks.

                                      "Being very busy at work is not a valid reason, but a lame excuse," he [Health Minister Yevgeny Shestopalov] said. "You can engage in procreation during breaks, because life flies by too quickly."

                                      Asked when people who work 12 to 14-hour days would have time to procreate, Shestopalov replied: "During break times."

                                      I believe they also have special fertility camps for young couples.

                                      This ties in sexual aspects of fascism - the control over fertility and the obsession with the correct kind of sex.

                                        Russian women should wear mini-skirts more frequently to help boost the country’s birth rate, a local legislator has suggested.

                                        Gee, I wonder why Russians aren't making babies. Is it the economy and cost of childcare, like in several other countries?

                                        Nah, it's the wimminz, they should wear more slutty outfits

                                          “Because of modesty, women are getting married less often,”

                                          How about "because of the war, women are getting married less often,” or "because of the bad economic situation, women are getting married less often,”?
