If you are Russian, give birth

and fill the earth and subdue it,
and have dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the birds of the air,
and over every animal,
creeping things on the earth." Genesis 1: 28

Could the Russians disappear?
The following graph is catastrophic in nature - it shows the dynamics of natural population growth, i.e., the annual difference between the number of births and deaths, according to Rosstat. Over all 32 years, the country's population had a slight increase only in the period 2013–2015. at the expense of maternity capital introduced in 2007.
The decline in the country's natural population growth for the fifth year in a row is a very alarming sign. And this process is absolutely irreversible under current conditions. In 2021, the population decline is 1 thousand people, in 042 it is no better - by 2022 thousand people. From January to September 555, compared to the same period last year, it decreased by 2023%, amounting to 24 thousand people.
The high level of poverty and low birth rate does not allow the country to ensure minimum population reproduction: the population of the RSFSR in 1992 was 148,51 million people, as of 01.01.2023/146,44/32 – 2,067 million people. In total, over 8,79 years there was a reduction of 10 million people, despite the annexation of Crimea. In contrast, the population of the RSFSR (as part of the USSR) increased at a rate of about 1979 million people. every 113 years. The Russian population was also growing rapidly in the RSFSR: in 521 there were 881 Russians, in 1989 – 119.
According to Rosstat forecasts: by 2046, our population, excluding new territories, will reach 138,8 million people. The greatest reduction is in the titular nation – Russians. According to the 2021 census, 105,58 million people called themselves Russian. (compared to 112,51 million in 2010), i.e. already by almost 7 million people. less.
According to various estimates, including the Tsargrad channel, if current trends continue, in 2040 there will be no more than 90 million Russians, and by 2055–2060 the share of Russians may fall to 50%. The commander of the Akhmat detachment, Apty Alaudinov, appealed to the Russian people to give birth to as many children as possible in order to retain the territory of Russia.
As Patriarch Kirill recently stated:
Why are we dying out?
The main reasons are quite clear:
– degraded employment structure of the resource economy, which does not create a sufficient number of places with a high level of income;
– hence the low level of salaries;
– a primary demographic hole associated with a sharp drop in the birth rate in the shock 90s;
– high cost of housing and its shortage at current prices;
– high level of abortions;
– population concentration in large cities, where the birth rate ceiling is 2 children per family in a three-room apartment;
– spiritual and existential crisis of society – “civilizational breakdown”;
– feeling of uselessness;
– inoculation of individualism;
– lack of adequate propaganda of family values and childbirth, against abortion;
– pension reform that reduces the ability of grandparents to help children care for their grandchildren.
Do Russians want to give birth? But can they?
According to NAFI surveys (2020), almost half of young and middle-aged Russians (from 18 to 45 years old) do not want to have children, citing an unstable financial situation or lack of desire.
But the biggest disaster seems to be the estimate of the additional amount to the monthly income that would help Russians decide to have a child - 58 thousand rubles. Just compare this with child benefits and wage levels. You can also add here the astronomical high cost of housing in the Russian Federation, when people simply have nowhere to raise their families.
According to sociologist Vladimir Arkhangelsky, final childlessness for generations born in the early 1990s will be about 22%, and for generations born in the late 1990s and early 2000s – 25–27%.
According to the latest calculations by Moscow State University specialists (and not only them), in Russia there are actually about 60% of the poor population (for comparison, Rosstat data is 13,5%), including: the extremely poor -7,7% are those who barely enough for food; beggars - having problems buying clothes - 16,0%, and those who have problems buying household appliances - 40,4% - the overall poverty estimate is about 64,1%.
But what do we want? After all, Russia does not produce, like Europe and China, but consumes its natural capital, supplying abroad not goods with a high share of added value, but resources and grain that require processing. To become a buyer and have a high salary, you need to be a manufacturer.
The raw materials model led to the destruction of the industrial base of the USSR. According to the book by V. M. Simchera “Development of the Russian Economy over 100 Years,” during Yeltsin’s reign, about 30 enterprises were destroyed, despite the fact that during the creation of the USSR in 000–1922. Some 1984 new enterprises were created. This led to the loss of quality jobs, replacing them with low-paid ones in the service sector, but not to the full extent.
As a result, the average salary in Russia for 2023, according to Wikipedia, is in an honorable 72nd place with an amount of $802 (before tax) - and this is the level of poor Cuba and not at all rich Mexico.
The former - without any economy - Lithuania and Estonia left us far behind with an amount of about 2 dollars. Here is the answer to the question why Ukraine wanted to go to Europe so much. Wages in Chile and Bulgaria are also above $158. At the same time, in terms of resources, Russia is the richest country in the world.
According to experts, in 2022 Russian women had 1 million 795 thousand abortions. The figure is catastrophic: after all, Rosstat issued completely different statistics - without taking into account medical abortions. And this is in an Orthodox country!
The state and the people: how it comes back, so it will respond
In the New Testament, the image of a flock of sheep is used for human society. If the herd has a good owner and he takes care of it, then the herd will grow. But if everything in the state is measured by money and profit, expect big trouble.
Russia already lives in poverty, but its population is being “milked” by large companies that constantly raise tariffs and banks that lend at exorbitant rates. The same function is performed by grocery chains that have undivided control of the market, periodically raising the price of a certain product. How much does a visit to the dentist cost now? Mortgage bondage to which the country's middle class is subjected is also from this series.
Banki.ru index: average rates on consumer loans and credit cards at the end of the second quarter of 2023 amounted to 20,68% and 31,32% per annum, but already at the end of the fourth quarter of 2023 - 27,39% and 37,2% per annum ( !). For our time this is an incredible bet!
It is not for nothing that the Ministry of Education now wants to reduce the mathematics course, which was very “large” in Soviet times. Let people think less and count less.
As of June 2023, the overdue debt of consumers of housing and communal services amounted to more than 870 billion rubles.
According to the Central Bank, as of July 1.07.2023, 46,7, 1.05.2023 million people had active loans and borrowings in banks and microfinance organizations (MFOs), while more than a quarter of Russian borrowers were among those who simultaneously pay on three or more loans, mainly at the expense of those who borrow in addition to the mortgage. And as of May 30,22, 10, the total debts of Russians to banks amounted to XNUMX trillion rubles. More than XNUMX million Russians have a mortgage.
According to analysts of the Credit Assistant service, from August to October 2023, the share of Russians who find it difficult to service loans increased by 6 percentage points, to 22 percent. The debt level (the ratio of the average debt to the average annual income) increased from 35 to 41% compared to the beginning of the year.
Now the housing market is experiencing a classic crisis of overproduction: the volume of unsold housing in Russian new buildings has exceeded 71 million square meters. m (with the total volume of real estate as of July 2023 – 101,1 million sq. m), i.e. 70%. The reason is simple - apartment prices are rising, and the purchasing power of the population is decreasing.
In Moscow, at the beginning of April 2023, 16,2 million square meters were under construction. m of housing, 10 million sq. m (i.e. 62%) of them were unsold. It takes at least 3 years to sell (excluding new offers). And even the president said this. The leaders in unsold housing were Omsk (77%), Krasnodar (75%) and Samara (71%).
According to the law, the social housing standard is 18 square meters. m. The volume of unsold housing is sufficient to provide housing for over 4 million people. The current model leads to a crisis in the real estate market: greed is always punished. A mortgage and various options with handouts to stimulate it will not solve the problem. We have reached a dead end of lack of income, which bred poverty and limited development in Tsarist Russia.
An adequate option is to increase the amount of maternity capital, which would increase the birth rate. Then a family with two children could get a 2-room apartment for free, and a family with three children could get a three-room apartment, etc. Then this race for square meters would make at least some sense.
According to CIAN data for 2022, in large cities maternity capital is enough to buy 7,5 square meters. m of housing. In Moscow, the subsidy is enough to purchase 2,3 square meters. m, the maximum area can be purchased in Chelyabinsk - 16,8 sq. m. If a few years ago the subsidy was a real help, now its usefulness has noticeably decreased: the indexation of maternal capital does not keep pace with the rise in housing prices.
According to experts from the Institute of Socio-Economic Problems of Population named after. N.M. Rimashevskaya, in 2023, more than 40% of households in Russia consist of one person, and their share has doubled over the past twenty years. The latest All-Russian Population Census, conducted in 2021, identified 27,6 million single-person households (!). The situation is simply absurd, since from an economic point of view, running a household for two is much more efficient.
These data are simply catastrophic. Society is instilled with a matrix of loneliness and “infertility.” The people are destroyed without a single shot or shell. They say: Russia is challenging the world government. There is an external conflict, but it also included the Minsk agreements, the Istanbul and Kherson maneuvers.
But what about inside (?), if everything we have has been carefully brought to us since the 90s, precisely so that the country disappears. And the main thing continues to be preserved with noticeable consistency! The propaganda of lust and individualism is also very successfully carried out by its agents. Both big capital and our oligarchs are the “supervisors” and henchmen of this structure, right?
The current war in Ukraine and the possibility of direct conflict with the West is a religious war, a war of civilizations. A war that has been going on for 2 years between the formations of the Old and New Testaments.” That is why in Ukraine they destroy the Orthodox Church, persecute the Lavra, and wherever possible they persecute Russians, the Russian language, and hate the USSR. In the countries of the former USSR, they even get rid of the Russian font.
As Fox News host Tucker Carlson said about the causes of the war in response to Congressman Raskin:
Therefore, Ukraine was pitted against Russia, and the unfortunate deceived Ukrainians are fighting in Ukraine with the Russians, that is, with themselves. And the positional impasse in the Northern Military District is not from the same series?
The causes of the demographic catastrophe are not only in the raw materials model of the economy, but are caused by even more destructive spiritual and moral consequences.
Why do we have so many single, familyless and childless people?
To minimize costs, liberals wanted us to get rid of paternalism. By cutting costs, as well as copying the proposed model of behavior, many citizens responded to this with loneliness and reluctance to care about anyone. This is the “collective unconscious” according to S. Freud. For as it comes back, so will it respond.
How do you want to meet your old age? Loneliness and selfishness
As King David described the fullness of his life:
But the catastrophic burden of the current hard times is selfishness, which has struck all layers of society from top to bottom. And where there is selfishness, there is no place for love, fidelity, family and children.
Let's take a look around us. Among us there are friends and relatives, men who, being healthy, do not want to start a family. Some of them have a problem - they have not found a place for themselves in the “market” according to Gaidar’s model and either do not work or have a bad job. This puts pressure on people, but not everyone is trying to change something.
In maturity, a person understands that in life there is a fantastic opportunity to make one’s life in common with the life of another person, to love him and have beautiful children as the fruit of this love. Isn't this an amazing miracle?
Genesis 1: 28
But in passionate youth, young people may not understand this if they do not have upbringing and inner core. And music channels and a certain part of the Internet instill total lust in people.
As they age, single (unfamily) people accumulate internal problems, but calls to solve them do not yield results. Most of them are not dating anyone. In total, for every man there is one more single woman and at least 1–2 unborn children.
Under the influence of liberal values, people are in no hurry to take on family ties, preferring to live for themselves, paying for it with loneliness in old age. For the middle class: the main thing is to take out a mortgage and a car loan in order to get to your “nest”. And for the poor part of the population, which makes up about 60% in the country, this is a fear of “procreating poverty.” But Asians are not rich, but they still give birth from generation to generation!
How do you want to meet your old age: like a branchy tree, in the company of children and grandchildren, or in splendid isolation? Are you able to challenge the system and at least somehow change your life for the better by starting a family?
Make the right choice: because the fate of Russia depends on it: to be or not to be! The songs of Gazmanov and Shaman awaken patriotic feelings in us, but the time has come to do something concrete.
Since you want to meet your old age: maybe it’s better this way?
Loneliness and old age
According to NAFI (2019) estimates, there are more than 7 million elderly people living alone in Russia. And this is a huge problem for the state, which has given rise to this situation over the past 32 years of dead-end liberal reforms. Sooner or later, the age of 50 will come, when finding a good job will become far from easy, and your health will take its toll. And then - a “liberal-capitalist” pension, which will barely make ends meet.
And if you don’t even have a wife, let alone children, then what will await you at 60 and then at 70? Who will feed you and give you water? Personal investments, big pension? No, family and children are the true protection of a person in his declining years, and even more so in old age.
Writer Olga Rumbach wrote a poignant story “Old People”, where she vividly describes the infirmities of an elderly couple. And now the elderly wife finally expresses to her old man all the pain that she has suffered all her life:
Loneliness in old age is a terrible thing. But they don’t think about this problem, just as they don’t think about death. After 45 years, many understand that they should have had a family and children, but correcting the situation is no longer easy. Then those who have one child or even two children understand that they should have given birth to three, but nothing can be corrected. As Henri Etienne wisely wrote:
But then old age passes and death comes. A funeral is the outcome of a person's life, and it can be positive, but it can also be tragic. At the funeral, you can see what the person did, what kind of trace he left, how many friends he had, and most importantly, how many children and grandchildren he left behind. Life is long - but a funeral is one day. Will there be men at the funeral who can carry the coffin?
Russians and Asians: comparison of value systems
Now let’s compare this situation with the residents of Central Asia, where families with four children are not uncommon, and procreation is a kind of cult, a “matrix,” despite the low standard of living. Let's compare it with the situation of degenerating ancient Rome before its collapse, when people did not want to have a family and have children. But at the same time, the development of civilization reached its maximum level there. As a result, they were simply conquered by uncultured barbarians who had a strong biological nature.
Russia and the breakdown of the civilizational matrix
The answer to the question of why the country’s “indigenous” population is degenerating is not easy. In fact, in the 8th century, peasant Russia, living in poverty, had one of the highest birth rates among developed countries. In my grandmother’s family before the revolution there were 7 children, and in her family during Soviet times there were XNUMX.
But then children were a necessary element, labor force in a complex peasant economy. It cannot be said that the decline in the birth rate is associated only with the insufficient standard of living in the country. Just compare this to the growing Muslim population. As the head of the Council of Muftis stated in 2019, in 15 years the share of Muslims in the Russian population will increase to 30%, and therefore the country “absolutely needs dozens of new mosques.”
History never stands still. Any state develops in conditions of contradictions that sooner or later must be overcome, otherwise civilization experiences breakdown and collapse caused by the mistakes of the ruling class (see the Challenge-Response concept of A. Toynbee). As Pyotr Stolypin wrote:
People don't give birth when they feel useless. And after the destruction of the industrial potential of the USSR, employment opportunities decreased.
During the Soviet era, the matrix was different - most young people started families and gave birth long before 30, and the Russian population was constantly growing. At that time, young people understood that without a family they would be “incomplete”; there was another matrix - for creating a family. There was a tax on the childless. But already in late Soviet times, defective guidelines were laid in the consciousness of the Russian people - reluctance to have more than 1-2 children, a decrease in the value of family.
In the 90s, these trends acquired even more catastrophic proportions. Western values introduced into people's consciousness - freedom of love, selfishness, the desire for pleasure - completely catastrophically destroy family foundations.
Speaking in 2012 at a meeting of the Izborsk Club, Archimandrite (now Metropolitan) Tikhon (Shevkunov) noted:
Europe, which is losing Christianity and family values, has an extremely low birth rate. Muslim immigrants are filling the labor shortage. Europe may once again suffer the same fate as Rome.
In 2022, about 4 million labor migrants, mainly from Central Asia, worked in Russia. In the first quarter of 2023, another 1,3 million people came to us to work. Workers of African descent can already be seen. It seems that the world's puppeteers are preparing for us a “scenario” for France and Germany?
For the time being, there were no church sermons and banal calls from the country's leadership to give birth to more children, although the picture was clear. Apparently, no one wanted to cast a shadow on the system. For some time now, the patriarch and the president have recognized the problem. In church you can now hear sermons on childbirth.
Once upon a time in the USSR, people had free higher education, free medicine and free housing. And most importantly - normal work; there were many workers, engineers, scientists, military men in the country, and not sellers and merchandisers. At the same time, they knew that the top do not live in luxury, but serve the people. Maybe not as good, but still. Therefore, the state and the people were united, although they lived poorly.
As a result, not only the general population, but also the Russian population within the RSFSF grew quite actively. But everything broke down in the era of “stagnation” - “the picture froze”, and collapsed during perestroika - there were no real development goals.
The extinction of the Russian nation speaks not only of the dead end of the economic raw material model, but also testifies to the spiritual and existential crisis of a society grafted onto an alien Western liberal branch. The nation has simply lost the core within itself and without it it simply melts like snow.
The absence of national ideology and goals is replaced by individualism and consumption. As journalist Alexander Khaldei writes (2017):
And now let’s turn to our Chechen friends - and although wages in Chechnya are in last place among the regions of Russia, they lead among the regions of Russia in terms of natural population growth. But in Chechnya, in addition to traditions, there is a spiritual uplift among the people associated with overcoming the consequences of the war and active creation. This means that we have something to learn: of course there is!
But in the Church everything is different
At the same time, the Church is actively developing in the country, and in Orthodox parishes the picture is the opposite - there is a cult of family values, and families with 3-4 or more children are not at all uncommon.
But this world is limited, and the percentage of churchgoers in Russia is not as great as it should be. The more people inside the church fence, the better. But everyone goes to kindergartens and schools. And despite the leading spiritual role of the Church, without a strong spiritual and moral core of the state itself and normal economic employment, as was the case in the USSR, the problem of the birth rate cannot be solved.
What are young people afraid of?
Unfortunately, now many young couples, concentrating on the factors of egocentric pleasure, which is greatly and very actively promoted by the value system imposed by us from the West, the media, television and the Internet, are afraid or do not want to have children.
Why?
Because they know that families are not stable, that there are many divorces, and what if there is a mistake and then a child; not all men are ready to care for a baby, even for at least one or two years, they are afraid of alimony, women and men are afraid that a woman may lose her attractiveness after giving birth, etc.
Therefore, the most important task of the state is to develop normal standards and family life skills among citizens, right from school.
How to explain to young people that they will not learn anything good from programs like Dom-2? Maybe we should make other transfers, because it’s not that difficult? But it is clear that these programs are broadcast only with the goal of turning us into a herd of sheep and hitting our ability to reproduce ourselves.
Maybe they should be taught that if they love each other, nothing threatens them except the difficulties of life, of which there will be many, but they are all surmountable? And if they give birth, even despite the lack of income, can this be overcome?
How to reset people's attitudes?
What could the state do?
First, carry out economic reforms, which is unlikely in the current model.
Secondly, allow the Church to conduct more active educational work, including in schools.
Thirdly, it could begin its preaching and form the correct matrix.
Fourth, start educational and consulting work on abortion.
Fifthly, increase the maternity capital standard so that families with two or more children receive housing for free.
Tell your citizens that man was created for family and love. That marriage is best forever. And this is the understanding that a child is not a burden, but a joy and support.
Artists could do the same. And there’s absolutely no point in showing the brothers’ lives.
But who in our state is capable of making such decisions if our matrix is supported from the outside?
Let's give the floor to the now deceased priest Dmitry Smirnov, who raised this topic many times:
…– “From now on, we shouldn’t have a single film that shows the destruction of a family... You will find the best, strongest and most beautiful families and you will talk about them, you will talk about the love of children for their parents, grandfathers for their grandchildren and not show not a single program that disintegrates a family. Never"…
Then - to the Minister of Education: “Your first major subject in schools will be family. You will tell why humanity consists of men and women, why it was created by God, what is the meaning of it. You will invite fathers of large families to schools.”
Everything is accurate, but these people are hired precisely for the reverse processes and they do their job quite successfully.
It all starts with love!
It all starts with love! If your parents loved each other, then you appeared! And if for your mother the beauty salon was not the main place, and she, like a mother, loved you, and your father did not constantly sit at the computer, did not disappear at “parties” with friends, but played and walked with you, then your parents loved you !
Thank God, I was lucky, everything was exactly like that for me. And the sowed love will definitely (!) be given by you, first to your half, and then to your children. And further – to your grandchildren and great-grandchildren. But even if everything wasn't perfect, you can still choose to love.
If you are Russian, give birth!
If you are Russian, give birth, for the sake of love, for the sake of your ancestors, for the sake of your Motherland!
Let the entire world oligarchy, which wants your personal disappearance, turn over in anger. Let the entire liberal pro-Western crowd, which often thinks of Russians with contempt, know that you will not disappear and will regain your freedom and the main place in the country!
Give birth, by all means, even if life seems unbearable. There will be children - God will help and will not leave you! Give birth to at least 2, but 3 and 4 are better, the more the better, then you’ll understand for yourself!
Let your descendants flood our land like sea sand, just give birth! Listen to your elders and they will tell you the same thing.
As the wisest Solomon testified:
The Proverbs of King Solomon 17:6
Industrialization and development: on the way to the destruction of liberalism
To ensure control and further development of our territory, our population must be at least 250–300 million people.
In the current system, despite government measures, it is impossible to stop the extinction of the country. A complete reboot of the system to the left is necessary: nationalization and disposal of the oligarchy, which has firmly attached itself and drinks all the juices from the country, industrialization, which will create new jobs and raise incomes.
We need an ideology of expansion of the Russian world, the unification of the original Russian lands and the unity of all Slavic peoples in general, which will give Russia solidity, the meaning of life and the much-needed passionarity.
Making your life's goal of paying off your mortgage is the end. Liberal raw material capitalism, which has turned the life of the bulk of people into survival, is bringing the country the quiet extinction of Russian civilization.
The collapse of the liberal economic model is inevitable, and it will happen in the near future - because there is nowhere to fall further. As N. Mikhalkov prophetically said,
Donbass and the Russian Spring of 2014, betrayed by the Minsk agreements, is not just an uprising in Ukraine: it is an uprising of the entire (!) Russian world against the world government that is destroying us. The blood of the victims and martyrs of this war will create a new free Russia.
N. Mikhalkov:
Epilogue: questions for the political (middle) class
Since everything is clear with the elites, there are questions for the political (or middle) class of the country - for you, those who are doing well.
What worries you – the dollar exchange rate and inflation? Apartment renovation? Warm floors in the house? Buying a new car? Country house?
Are you indifferent to what is happening in the country? Are you aware of your responsibility for the future of the country and are you ready to defend it, even if the system makes this impossible?
The general results of our development are set out in an article on VO: “32 years without the USSR: the results of reforms - where we are and where we are going.”
Do you go to the polls or do you consider it a luxury and a waste of time? If you don’t go, then the turn for “improvement” will definitely come to you, in old age for sure.
When in 1996 I ran headlong to vote for Boris Yeltsin, “saving democracy,” my father, a participant in the Great Patriotic War, a communist, a military prosecutor and simply an honest person, told me simple words:
And he turned out to be absolutely right.
In 1996, the country had a real chance to launch a murderous liberal course. But a powerful team of political strategists instilled “optimism” in us - that’s what they do.
In fact, every election in Russia since 1996 repeats the situation of that time. Let the system know that you can make your choice - and then it will fight for it. Because when there is no change, there is nothing to fight for. Vote or lose - the fate of Russia depends on your choice.
