[I]One poster on the old Phora Forum cynically (but perhaps accurately) commented that the early dying age of average Russians means that they will not face the same kind of economic retirement bomb as Western countries would...
Anyways, may Russia show a glorious example to all Western countries in [B]re[/B]-rising its fertility![/I]

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=5]Baby boom as economy rebounds [/SIZE]
[B]By Vladimir Radyuhin [/B]
MOSCOW, JAN. 9. After a decade of declining birth rates, Russia is experiencing a baby boom fuelled by economic rebound and rising living standards.
[B]Moscow leads with more than 96,000 babies born last year, compared to just over 67,000 in 1999[/B]. The Mayor, Yuri Luzhkov, has ordered a crash programme to build nurseries and kindergartens, hundreds of which were closed down in the 1990s when birthrates plummeted.
The wellbeing radiates from the more affluent capital to the provinces, and they are also overtaken by the baby boom. [B]Since 1999, when the Russian economy turned the corner, birthrates have gone up from 8.3 to 10.4 per 1000 people nationwide[/B]. In Murmansk, a port city in the northern Barents Sea, to send a three-year-old to kindergarten, parents must apply as soon as the baby is born.
"The fact that it is middle-aged rather than young women who account for the largest number of births in Moscow shows people are having babies they could not afford in the economically difficult 1990s," said Sergei Zakharov of the Centre for Demography and Human Ecology.
[B]The younger generation is about to join the baby boom. Marriage registration offices are swamped with young people and they have to wait in line for weeks to get married[/B]. In Irkusk, Eastern Siberia, municipal marriage bureaus had to extend their work schedules by two hours to accommodate all would-be spouses, while in Tombov, West Siberia, marriage registration ceremonies have been cut to 15 minutes to cope with the rush.
Demographers say that the current baby boom falls in a 25-year up-and-down birthrate cycle.
"Last time births peaked was in 1983-1987," said Valery Yelizarov of the Moscow State University Centre for Demography Studies. "It is people born then who are beginning to have babies today."
The expert said that the growth in birth rates is not enough to reverse a decade-long population decline given Russia's staggeringly high mortality rate.
"Last year Russia had 1.5 million births and 2.3 million deaths," Dr. Yelizarov said.
Over the past 10 years, Russia's population has shrunk by 9 million, to 143.5 million last year, and may further fall by 6 to 8 million in the next 10 years if measures are not taken to improve health care.
[B]"If Russia had the same mortality rate as Europe, we would have saved 500,000 people in the working age group every year," Dr. Yelizarov said. [/B]
Experts also urge the Government to take steps to encourage people to have more children.
"We shall ask the Government to raise child allowances, give housing credits to young families, increase benefits to families with many children and promote family values," says the deputy chairman of the State Duma committee for public associations and religious organisations, Alexander Chuyev. [B]"If this set of measures is adopted, birth rates may go up by another 500,000 to 700,000 babies a year."[/B][/FONT]

There's nothing more beautiful and cheerful than a (large) healthy white family. Whites must multiply to fill their countries and squeeze out aliens.
For evolution and Darwin, baby :tongue:

I am happy to hear that the Russians are making a comeback, both economically and demographically. For the past five years or so I have been yakking about how the Slavs, led by their Russian elder brothers are the only possible candidates to save European Civilization, my term for what a lot of us call "the White race." I am not a Slav, but I would be more than happy to be saved by the culture of Dostoyevsky and Sozhenitsyn!
The Russian colossus is awakening from his vodka soaked, Jew oppressed slumber and just in time! He can be a little clumsy and excessively sentimental, but the Russians can be a tough and determined people. Hope springs eternal.

Russia could very well be the last hope of the West (yes, I realize the contradictory nature of that statement). Not only is their general populace much more in tune with Zionist criminality than any of the sheeple-infested countries of the West, but they (per Spengler) have yet to truly develop their own high culture that is distinctly Russian. Those who know Russians know that their mindset is definitely "white", but yet their soul is not inherently Western.
I myself am cheering the Russians on. After so much dark history, they truly deserve time in the limelight.

Good for them. European women, wherever they are, should be encouraged to form solid unions and produce children. Men need to respect motherhood as well as their own duties as fathers. The US media glorifies the stereotype of the self absorbed bachelor who shuns "commitment" and the party girl with the flat exposed midriff.
