There's less talk about demography, but interests remain at the sandbox level—that's how one can describe the impressions from the second day of the International Economic Forum in Petersburg.
The main quirks we heard today:
🔸 Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Central Federal District Igor Shchegolev I decided to count The "childbearing efficiency" of Russian companies. It turns out that commercial enterprises have an average of 1,16 children per employee (although Putin says that for national development, this ratio should be at least 2,3).
Interestingly, even state-owned companies failed to meet the president's mandate: Gazprom had the highest rate, barely reaching 1,48.
🔸 Putin, by the way, will appear in the new episode of the cartoon about the adventures in Prostokvashino. said head of the Soyuzmultfilm studio Yuliana Slashcheva.
"Matroskin and the president will create a wonderful duet for the promotion of our country and our culture," she thinks.
🔸 Deputy Head of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency Nikolay Lishin proposed Introduce criminal liability for those who steal traditional values. This could include, for example, advertisers who don't promote large families in their ads.
“I thought having a lot of children was a good thing,” he gave an example. They showed me on TV that this isn't very good. Something valuable was stolen from me. I have to call [the police] and say: these people are stealing my spiritual and moral value from me."
🔸 And here is the head of the Vladimir diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church Sergey Pilishin sureHe argued that traditional values are insufficient to promote the Russian cultural code. He proposed printing them on the back of school notebooks.
“Let the child read it, think about it, come home and ask: ‘Dad, what is this value?’” said the metropolitan.
🔸 By the way, the day before this, the rector of the Russian Orthodox University Alexander Shchipkov offered Launch courses to train "economists with theological education" to generate profits for the glory of God. Supposedly, only under this condition will Russia have a "more perfect economy."
