Russian State Duma has proposed transferring boys over 8 years old to their fathers in the event of divorce

[Regnum] Boys over eight years old should be left with their fathers in the event of a divorce; this will help increase the birth rate and reduce the number of broken marriages, believes State Duma deputy Dmitry Kuznetsov (A Just Russia).
An interesting proposal. It would certainly spike the guns of half the men who are upset that the bitch women who divorced them cut them off from their children, too. And of half the women upset that the divorced bastards aren’t paying their fair share of child support. There are certainly divorces that ought to happen, but there are plenty of marriages that would benefit from more work from both partners.
The parliamentarian outlined the initiative on September 27 in a Telegram channel.

According to Kuznetsov, handing over sons to fathers for upbringing will solve the problem of non-payment of alimony, since “adequate men” will not demand money for children from their ex-wives.

“I am sure that if, instead of 95%, only 80% of children remain with their mothers, then the number of divorces will decrease significantly and the birth rate will increase,” Kuznetsov emphasized.

The parliamentarian added that boys need a male upbringing, and previously in Russia “a grown-up boy would move to his father’s half.”

As reported by Regnum News Agency, on September 6, the head of the State Duma Committee for the Protection of Family, Motherhood and Childhood Nina Ostanina stated that Russia needs a “special demographic operation.” She noted that support is needed not only for young families, but also for families with children, including large families.

On July 26, the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, said that the country was implementing a number of measures aimed at increasing the birth rate, but they had a delayed effect. He also pointed out that the demographic issue was one of the main priorities of President Vladimir Putin.

The objectives of the national project "Family" include increasing the total fertility rate to 1.6 by 2030 and to 1.8 by 2036. According to Rosstat, by the end of 2023, this figure was 1.41.
Decidedly concerning for those of us who treasure the Russian culture. Good luck, guys — truly.
