Per the article, “The payment of 100,000 rubles will be available for both childbirth and adoption. However, if the child dies, the application for the payment will be denied.”
Sounds like another attempt to exploit poor/desperate people. More soldiers for the meat grinder.
Another insane thing is that emergency personnel get paid pennies as well. I have a friend who used to work as an EMT in Boston (~2021), and he was paid $15/hr.
