| #6 Very high rate of Alcoholism. Severe drug problems also in the cities. Many children born with a variety of medical problems. My brother adopted two children(brother and sister)that have problems. This was several years ago. I believe he had to pay $20,000 each in crisp new bills. Build a strong family would be my suggestion. Those I have met here are very intelligent. This is not a pleasant video. The fellow signing it has died. He was in his forties. He was for and against communism in his life. He seems to me to be a Russian version of John Lennon. |

| #3 He seems flummoxed with something that has long haunted Russian leaders. Russians don't want to breed anymore. And he resists with every bone in his body making the changes needed so that they will want to breed. He literally needs to create from scratch a new city that is clean, healthy, boring, and populated with breeding age young adults, and non-breeders are kept out. Men work in dull and easy, 9-5 paperwork jobs. Women are housewives and schoolteachers. Little or no birth control and zero abortions, but good OB/GYN. Lots of fertility drugs for multiple births. Lots of elementary schools and churches full of young Russian Orthodox priests instructed to strongly emphasize "fruitful and multiply" as an essential religious doctrine. Family friendly everything, with a strong emphasis on sports and patriotism in school. Boy and girl scouting. Lots of co-ed everything. All children look forward to marriage. Very little TV, movies and entertainment electronics. Computers and the Internet are for business and learning. Travel to or from the city is expensive. A subtle promotional policy based on number of children. Eventually promotions for the parents to move out when the kids are young adults. Or new breeders to move in if the kids leave, too. This is a simple formula to give Russia a baby boom of high quality Russians. |

| #2 Yes, the threat is in the south. Sounds like an old playbook in serious need of an upgrade. The March election is the cause of much of this rhetoric in my opinion. His big spending plans will be difficult within his own party. The public want a better life. They have all the domestic problems other countries have. They are in no mood for war. "engage in nation building instead" Ditto. |
