The Russian government isn't even remotely trying to hide it anymore.

Posted on a RW website, where half or more AGREE with the propaganda.

1. I'm sorry, I'm just not getting it

looking at both links, the Russian government is encouraging large families ... because their population is declining. Hardly unusual, many developed countries are doing that as the worker per retiree ratio is falling and falling, and none are trying to "hide" it. The U.S. also has a strong pro-natalist policy in its tax code, and Republican administrations trying to make abortion illegal or practically impossible to obtain.

Or is it something else?

2. Really? You are not getting it?

Are you sure you examined both links?

4. Yup, and it says the Russian government is encouraging large families. So what?

Most developed and near-developed countries have below replacement level birthrates and ever growing retiree to worker ratios and pro-natalist policies. Neither Russia nor these other countries are trying to "hide it".

As for the second link, I just get a listing of articles with the "Putin: The State Is Committed to Supporting and Encouraging Large Families" at top, i.e. the first link.

And looking at the other article titles, yeah, its a bunch of Russian propaganda. And some are awful, like

"Hungary Put Up a Border Wall to Keep Out Non-White Invaders - and It Works Great!"

So yeah, that's a revelation to me, I didn't know they were so overtly blatantly racist.

And you can post _4_ paragraphs per link without running afoul of DU copyright guidelines.

3. Maybe you could post some pertinent paragraphs. You have two links.

You can post 3 paragraphs for each link.
