News Russia Offers Schoolgirls £950 to Have Babies Amid War-Induced Demographic Crisis
Quote:In a move that has sparked global outrage, Russian authorities are now offering schoolgirls a one-off payment of £950 ($1,200) to have children, as the country faces a dire population decline following its war in Ukraine. The controversial policy, first introduced in the Oryol region, targets girls in full-time education, including those as young as 15, and is part of a broader state-backed initiative to combat Russia's falling birth rate and staggering wartime losses.

Trying to coerce GIRLS into having children, so they can be used as future cannon fodder.
I fear things will only get worse for Russian women and girls as the population continues to decline…
This fucking sickens me. I can't decide what pisses me off more - the shit compensation, or the fact that they're targeting literal children
I can only hope Russian girls are smarter than that, and if not they themselves, the people around them. Absolutely disgusting policy though slightly refreshing in its honesty. Breed more fodder for the cannons! Receive an absolute pittance for it and throw away your future!
Madness.
