Bashkortostan deputies amended the childfree law to remove the ban on monastic life.

Deputies of the Kurultai of Bashkiria finalized A law banning childfree ideology was introduced and submitted to the State Duma. The first version of the law was controversial. For example, Patriarch Kirill argued that the previous version of the law would have prohibited discussions about the monastic lifestyle, as monks are not allowed to have children.

According to State Assembly Speaker Konstantin Tolkachev, information about voluntary childbirth should not be linked to medical contraindications or religious beliefs. In his opinion, the law's main message is the preservation of traditional family values. "The idea of ​​idleness and indolence" can easily develop into a lifestyle under the influence of informational "processing," Tolkachev believes.
