Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a new law banning the promotion of “childfree propaganda” on Saturday.
The legislation penalizes anyone advocating the refusal to have children. Critics have said that it will not help with Russia’s demographic problems.
The measure targets the spread of childfree ideology through media, films, advertising, and the internet, and aims to prevent the dissemination of materials that encourage the rejection of parenthood.
It imposes fines on those found guilty of promoting the concept. Individuals could face penalties ranging from 50,000 ($480) to 100,000 rubles, while officials could be fined between 100,000 and 200,000 rubles. Legal entities will face steeper costs, with fines of up to five million rubles.
The law also stipulates fines if such propaganda is spread through the media or internet, with penalties for individuals ranging up to 200,000 rubles, for officials up to 400,000 rubles, and for legal entities up to four million rubles. If it is deemed to have affected minors, these fines will be further increased.
In cases where childfree ideology is spread online, website owners will be required to monitor and identify such content, with failure to comply resulting in the website being added to a registry of prohibited information managed by Russia’s media watchdog, Roskomnadzor.
The bill was unanimously approved by both the State Duma and the Federation Council.
The Kremlin has made the demographic challenge a priority, with declining population figures and a low birth rate seen as pressing national issues.
An exception is included in the law for the promotion of monasticism and celibacy. Under the new provisions, the rejection of childbearing for religious or monastic reasons will not be considered an offense.
While it focuses primarily on domestic media and internet platforms, it extends to foreign nationals as well. Foreigners promoting childfree ideas in Russia will face the same fines and could be expelled from the country or placed under administrative arrest for up to 15 days.

You cannot kill an idea, without killing the host.
Russia may or may not have the rigged divorce & ancillary laws the West has. Regardless, unless/until those issues are corrected, this action, like other attempts, is doomed to fail.
As a whole, people are dumb, not stupid. Growing up, young men, with no experience with women, are susceptible to a woman wiles. MGTOW is changing that. 60+ years, three generations watching the carnage ripping through their families, their friends, their classmates. Divorce, palimony, court-forced child support for a kid that isn't the fathers - it's all out there. All it takes is a little research. And more men, young and old, are doing just that.
Just as the communists started their 'march through the institutions' in the 60s colleges, mgtow has spread to the schools. We just have to wait, and watch the seeds sprouting.
mgtow has reached the children (Keep in mind, this article was from seven years ago, when no one in legacy media gave a crap.)
You can pee on someone's leg and tell them its raining for only so long. No one can stop what's coming. There simply isn't the will to do what is necessary to correct the course, any more. Having lived through the carnage, I, for one, am happy to sit back and watch it unfold.
Hypergamy and third wave feminism definitely made MGTOW more prevalent.
Also, PUA research disillusioned so many men on women. The fact women will respond better to a narcisstic douche than a good guy..some men look at that and just back out of the game entirely.
I praise God for my wife, if I had never met her I would be alone. 12 years later, life is still blissful. Without her, I would have abandoned dating too.
