Russia spreads its image in Western countries as a conservative power. Further data shows how false propaganda is. The Russian Federation is present at the absolute planet top erstwhile it comes to the number of divorces.
According to the Russian tabloid “Komsomolskaya truth”, there are on average 600 to 700,000 divorces in Russia each year. This means that 7 out of 10 marriages have been broken up recently, even more. In the first half of 2024 there were 360,000 marriages in Russia, and the divorces were 318 thousand. “Komsomolskaya truth” admitted that Russia ranked 3rd worldwide in terms of the number of divorces, only overtaken by Kazakhstan and Maldives.
The Russian paper tries to explain the problem to the degree of taxation law, suggesting that many marriages are divorced in order to get allowances for single parents.
Regardless of circumstantial reasons, married life in Russia is in a terrible state not only due to divorce; The Russians don't want kids either.
2.1 million unborn children were murdered in Russia in 2000. In 2020, 314 abortions per 1,000 live births were performed, almost twice as much as the average in the European Union.
Official state data from 2022 pointed to around 500 000 prenatal infanticides, but demographic experts point to the low credibility of these data, mainly related to the gigantic grey region – the large spread of chemical early-porn drugs causes hundreds of thousands of children to die from the eyes of statisticians.
In 2022, the birth rate in Russia was 1.42 kid per female – far little than essential to accomplish a simple replacement of generations.
The Reuter Agency reported in September 2024 that in the first half of 2024 the least children had been born in Russia since 1999.
Kremla spokesperson Dimitri Pieskov, commenting on fertility data, spoke straight about the “catastrophe for the future of the nation”. The president of the Duma Committee on household Welfare, Nina Ostina, called for a "special surgery" on fertility. We request to do a fresh peculiar surgery. We have a military peculiar operation, and now we request a demographic peculiar operation," she said.
According to the United Nations, Russia's population will fall to 120 million over the next 50 years from the present 143.8 million.
Many children are born in Russia in the Asian part, while little in the European part.
In an extended analysis of August 2024, The Atlantic Council indicated that present 30 percent of the Russian population are not cultural Russians, and in the future their participation in society will only increase.
The Atlantic Council besides pointed to the increasing problems with fertility caused by the war. According to information provided by the U.S. government, over 100,000 Russian soldiers have already died in the war. In April 2024 the British BBC reported that on the basis of an analysis of the number of burials, more than 50,000 Russian soldiers could be confirmed, indicating that the actual number of casualties on the front was most likely much higher.
