Russia experienced its lowest birth rate since 1999 in the first six months of 2024, as reported by official data released on Monday. Births in June fell below 100,000 for the first time, marking the initial monthly drop.
The decline in Russia's population, driven by decreasing births and rising mortality, poses a significant challenge for the Kremlin as it persists in its prolonged conflict in Ukraine, which began with a full-scale invasion in 2022.

In July, the Kremlin described the country’s low birth rates as a crisis. Statistics from Rosstat indicate that Russia saw 599,600 births during the first half of 2024, a decrease of 16,000 from the same period in 2023, representing the lowest number since 1999.

Drop in birth rate in June​

In June, the birth rate dropped by 6 per cent, with only 98,600 newborns recorded, the first instance of the figure falling below 100,000, according to Russian media.
The natural population decline in Russia accelerated this year, with 325,100 deaths reported from January to June, an increase of 49,000 compared to the same timeframe last year. This population decrease was partially mitigated by a 20.1 per cent rise in the number of migrants during the first half of the year, according to the data.
Russian state news agencies quoted Kremlin’s spokesperson Dmitry Peskov as saying, “This is catastrophic for the future of the nation.”

Call for demographic initiative​

Nina Ostanina, who leads the Committee for the Protection of Families in the Duma, the lower chamber of Russia’s Parliament, conveyed to the state news agency RIA that a “special demographic operation” is required to boost the birth rate.

​

We need to mobilise and carry out another specific operation, said Ostanina, adding that much like a special military operation, this would be a special demographic operation.
While Moscow refers to its actions in Ukraine as “a special military operation”, Kyiv and its allies describe it as an unjustified act of aggression aimed at territorial expansion.

Looks like young Russian women got brainwashed by elitists and follow the path of Taylor Swift who refuse to have children.

There is no way western governments can convince their women to have more children.
Best is to encourage immigration from "like" countries

Exactly. The elites are anti White. They want Whites to be minority.

White populations in almost all countries are falling, including the US, Canada and Europe. There aren’t enough potential white immigrants to satisfy everyone.

The only solution is for whites to become Muslim and have lots of babies.

to be fair - if pakistanis were given the same chance to land on a student visa they will take it in a hearbeat.

This myth of Canada being a better and more livable copy of the US should've died right at the onset of COVID. It only became more prevalent after lol...

True, but it is mainly because of influence from the elites. The media and celebs egg on young White women to not have children.

In Western nations, family culture makes having children difficult and expensive. After a child turns 18, the family support network evaporates.

Not really. Western countries claim they are so wealthy. When it comes to children, countries they consider poor and underdeveloped have many children per family. It has to do with mindset. It has nothing to do with wealth.

Illiterate people have many kids and they dump them upon the western whulld to take care off. They release these kids on da streets of their third whulld shit-holes where they don’t got a chance in hell to make it.

Whose fault is dis bhai? Why can’t yous live in your third whulld shit-hole bhai?

Why do you need to go out west or east no?

Can we make our Pakistan prosperous? So our people stay in our own country and thrive?

Is it too much to ask of our establishment?

P.S. don’t you dare blame our army for this situ. I will destroy you if you blame our pathetic army and pin this shit show on them. They are not at fault. They are the world’s worst patsy’s!
