Mental Bunker
Speaking on the United Russia party’s assembly, Vladimir Putin
said that
prosperous families with 2-4 children are Kremlin’s top priority.
Levada pollster’s survey published yesterday
showed that
40% of Russians cannot afford necessities and have forgone basic groceries and other essentials in the past six months.
The aging Russian President either forgot that children
have to eat or he just doesn’t seem
to care. Russian poverty is scary mainly because it is hitting even those who have jobs.
Anyway, we think that the aging Russian President shouldn’t even talk about any
family values, considering circumstances of his personal life.
Perhaps, Putin thinks that the poorer the people are, the more children they will have.
Like in failed states of Africa or Afghanistan. Russian
poverty under Putin makes sense then – Kremlin is just
trying to boost Russian demography.
Perhaps, this is the strategy.
