2. The old "Women, you must have 3 babies! One for you, one for your husband. One for the country!"

Only old men can come up with this.
And it's been said before, in recent history. With slogans to match - 'populate or perish!' style.

Stupid!
Most people want:
- a stable relationship.
- a stable economy, reliable shop prices, a reliable income that allows for housing and a decent standard of living for a family.
- a predictable and positive outlook on the future.

All that, before babies become a serious consideration.

Russia has little of that to offer future mothers.
