{"content":"🇷🇺RUSSIA’S BIRTH RATE JUST FELL TO A 200-YEAR LOW—AND NOW IT’S A STATE SECRET Russia is running out of people. Births dropped so sharply this year that officials stopped publishing monthly numbers. A top demographer says March 2025 may have had the fewest births since the 1700s. Population projections? Down from 146 million today to 132 million by 2045. Worst-case: just 83 million by 2100. The government’s response includes banning “childfree ideology,” tightening abortion access, offering cash to pregnant women, and even proposing to release prisoners so they can have children. Also: they might censor TV shows like Harry Potter and Sex and the City for promoting the wrong message.
