#2 I do not envy Putin. I do not envy anyone that rules Russia.

Oddly enough, Stalin had at least one good idea, which was that Russia desperately needed to be demographically decentralized. It still does, today more than ever.

The best bet would be to build new cities from scratch, designed to be family oriented, for young couples of child bearing age. Keep out those who do not reproduce or raise children, and limit most employment to paperwork shuffling for males, with females as homemakers. Limit entertainment so it is somewhat boring. Minimal pollution.

Bring in enthusiastic Russian Orthodox priests with the directive to encourage reproduction in their sermons. Lots of patriotism in schools, and other healthy activities for children, such as scouting.

Friendly police who are very firm to people who would screw things up.

The primary goal of the place is to produce high quality children. An artificial baby boom.
