The reason why the 34-year-old Moscow editorial secretary, and her home country would spare no child was banal: the equivalent of 800 euros it has to pay her three year old daughter draw as good as alone great: Her husband works part only now and then as an English translator, in the long breaks he versauft his fees completely.
Marinas story is a rule for Russia, where abortions are still considered "conventional contraception. It could be Russia's government fall embarrassing abortion data at least in significant ways: Kamen in 2001 in Russia, 100 abortions at 72 births, 2008, so it looked the other way around - 100 newborns against 80 abortion. The baby mortality has been cut back over the last decade by a third. Only: Mortality rates in the birth rates are still far ahead of time - for decades.
Russia abolishes itself. The continuing population decline in Russia is a unique country living in peace in industry: Since 1991, the population was around eight million to just under 141 million. In particular, the Russian man is to blame, who lives with his life expectancy by an average of almost 60 years longer than its companion species in Papua New Guinea and 15 years less than the West Europeans.
as mass murderers operate in Russia still alcohol and tobacco. With 18 liters of pure alcohol per capita (including babies and babushkas) are the Russians lonely world leaders. According to official statistics, the country is one year up to 0.5 million alcoholics dead and about 400 000 citizens of the " Smoking-related diseases kill ". Mortality from heart disease is about four times as high as in Eastern Europe. Die a violent death, the Russians 12 times more frequently than an Englishman.

Patriarch Cyril, head of the Orthodox Church sees the cause in a "destruction of the value system." Among other things, the family had lost much of its value.
At the beginning of Boris Yeltsin's reform-era thought his critics, the transition from the Soviet egalitarianism to competition the man was overwhelmed. but the challenge for the Russian man was really so deadly? One thing is certain: the lack of freedom has a predominant part of the genus, in fact, felt safe. The socialist egalitarianism is indeed the man freedom robbed him but at the same time, free from the stress of hunting for profits. In the family he was not the "bearer of prey", because nine out of ten were Soviet women as an employee and did not earn more rare.
