On the way to extinction


Is Mother Russia. Can Europe be far behind?

This is the dead land
This is cactus land
Here the stone images
Are raised, here they receive
The supplication of a dead man's hand
Under the twinkle of a fading star.
...
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

"A child is not an easy project, and in this world a woman is expected to get an education, find a job, and make a career," says Svetlana Romanicheva, a student who says she won't consider babies for at least five years.

Putin might want to tell Russian men to pull up some slack, get in there, and help raise children too.

Too much vodka to drink, too little time for babies?

You guys are the source of the problem: if you would stop posting images of playmates all the time, I'd start paying more attention to my wife.

Not wanting to become an example of copyright lawsuits, I can only link you fellahs to the article.

Kiril Bobrov's social environment seems to embody elements of AI's original article.

Thanks, MFT, that was a good article you sent. Rather tragic, and dispiriting. Well, that's Russia for you...

But, Pepe, how would that help Mother Russia?
