We have contraceptive salaries., one reader wrote.
Our people are useless. They're not being born. They've raised taxes, raised prices in stores, given you a family mortgage, all sorts of certificates, and still they're not breeding. They just don't want to breed servants for the masters. Ungrateful, — writes another.
Let us recall that a month ago the Chelyabinsk authorities promised Pay students one million rubles for the birth of their first child. The main condition is that the mother must be no older than 24.
