    Children are the most precious commodity. How else do you keep the war machine fully fed?

  2. Oh why, oh why are some loath to procreate over there, I wonder? Not.

    Imagine making children to send them to some fields in the middle of nowhere when they’ll turn 18 to die for profits for oligarchs. Russians are brainwashed af.

    Russia is heading for extinction at this rate, low birth rates, heavily traumatized ptsd ridden soldiers who fought in Ukraine coming back into the society, a while ago a Russian soldier who returned from Ukraine literally threw a fucking live Grenade close to a playground while children were playing, luckily no kid was hurt or injured, domestic violence in Russia is literally normalized and government takes no action against it there, Putin is so deep into the war and horror of his creation that if he sees no major win or territorial concessions, he will either be killed or deposed by his inner circle, this can’t go on forever for Russia, but question is how long will Russians themselves will put up with this insanity? In my opinion and from what I see from history, brutality and inhumanity is normalized in Russian society, the rampant Z terrorist propaganda shows this, how can Russians still support Putin and the invasion of Ukraine when they’re literally seeing their sons, daughters, and friends coming home all horrifically injured and torn apart by drones and artillery having closed casketed funerals? It’s fucking insane, literally fucking mental…..

  5. Hmmm guess what would make me even less likely to have children: a scary Handmaiden’s Tale like country to live in.

    I hope Russian women decide to flee the country en masse. Cherry on top if they then have children abroad, after naturalising in that country…

  6. Wow.. that is rather shocking. China is also trying to force women to have babies through different means. I think this might have the oposite effect to be honest.

    Russia the country with “traditional values”- That have roughly 70–74 divorces for every 100 marriages

    Can’t wait to see italian pro-russia bots in the comments of any social media claiming it’s a positive thing…

    Defaulting to the old mental asylum tactic eh? Well, it worked for the previous iteration of the evil empire and the Shorty in Charge is old KGB, so why not dust off the old playbook?

    jesus… it’s like a george orwell novel…

    Mandatory psychological counselling sounds as wonderful as conversion therapy. How ironic that people probably can’t get real psychological counselling over there when they actually need it

    “Meat for the meat grinder. Skulls for the skull throne.”
    Putin, circa 2024 probably.

  13. This can’t be real. Refuse in what sense? How do they know if you refuse officially? Would the Government send an official letter expecting an answer? Are there deadlines to comply with?

    At this point I wouldn’t even care what they do within their borders. But they are actively trying to spread their pseudo-soviet worldview all over Europe with the help of some useful idiots, and invaded Ukraine to force stuff like this on them.

    As a European woman, I feel like I’ve dodged bullets from both sides of the globe.

    In Russia there are two wolfs:
    – one is male and works in a war factory before being conscripted and sent to a meat grinder in name of Mother Russia
    – the other is female and only exits to produce the above mentioned males

    Both are property of the state (Putin).

    What a paradise! I wonder if the same Russians who praise the country are also the ones who emigrated?
