Russia’s birth rate has been declining significantly. The fertility rate of 1.41 children per woman in 2024 is below the replacement rate of 2.1.
The Russian government has implemented initiatives to address the falling birth rate, including promoting “family values” and restricting access to abortion. However, experts like demographer Alexey Raksha remain sceptical about the effectiveness of these measures.
The decline in birth rate is attributed to various factors, including a high death rate, brain drain and economic instability, with some Russians citing low wages, high cost of living and lack of security as reasons for not having children.
What none of them mention is the possible effects of covid injections. Could these also be contributing?

Declining Birth Rate
Russia’s birth rate has been declining significantly over the past few decades. According to data from Macrotrends, the birth rate in Russia has been decreasing year after year, with the current rate in 2025 being 10.9 births per 1000 people, a 1.98% decline from 2024.
This trend is part of a broader demographic crisis in Russia, where the total fertility rate in 2024 was estimated to be 1.41 children born per woman, which is below the replacement rate of 2.1.
The natural population has been declining, with the number of deaths exceeding the number of births since 1992, and again since 2016. The situation has worsened due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which has led to high military fatalities and a brain drain caused by Western sanctions and boycotts. Additionally, the country’s death rate has been nearly double the birth rate in recent years.
To address this issue, the Russian government has implemented various initiatives, such as promoting “family values” in schools and restricting access to abortion. President Vladimir Putin has also launched a new council aiming to bolster a 2017 social policy designed to protect children and families.
Despite these efforts, experts remain sceptical about the effectiveness of these measures. Demographer Alexey Raksha believes that the UN’s forecast for Russia’s population in 2100 is overly optimistic, predicting that the population could fall below 100 million if nothing changes.

Last year, Andrei Kormukhin, leader of the movement ‘Forty Forties’ and chairman of the party of Russian traditionalists ‘For the family!’, pointed out that Russia’s demography project had spent 4.5 million rubles in six years to increase the birth rate by one decimal from 1.6 to 1.7 by 2024. The result? The birth rate fell to 1.31.
In a long Twitter thread, Beefeater described how Russia is weaponising demographics to “secure Putin’s empire.”
The gist of Beefeater’s argument is that since annexing Crimea, which added 2.4 million people to Russia’s population, Russia has been employing strategies to change the demographic composition of Crimea, including forced deportations, persecutions and repressions, leading to a mass departure of Ukrainians, while promoting the in-migration of Russian citizens to the peninsula. Estimates suggest between 800,000 to 1 million Russians migrated into the peninsula, while also forcing Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars to leave. If a similar number of Ukrainians have left Crimea, then this would reduce Russia’s population but not necessarily the birth rate.
Another point Beefeater raises is: “After the February 2022 invasion provoked a large exodus of Russians of all ages, the “partial” mobilisation conducted in September 2022 resulted in tens of thousands more, primarily young men, leaving the country … No one has precise data … If seven hundred thousand Russians now registered as living in Dubai is any indication, the émigrés may number far more than one million.” An exodus of young men could have an impact on birth rates in the years that follow as fewer young women can find a partner to marry and have children with.
After reading Beefeater’s thread it becomes clear that immigration-emigration could have a noticeable effect on population levels in Russia. This could have a knock-on effect on birth rates now and in the future as people are more likely to have children when they feel settled and secure.
You can read Beefeater’s thread on the Threadreader App HERE. It should be noted that Beefeater displays both the British and Ukrainian flags on his/her profile. The British flag is because the profile has noted Bletchley Park as its location. We can only guess that displaying the Ukrainian flag is a sign of activism or a Ukrainian living in the UK. Its worth keeping in mind possible bias resulting from an activist mindset when reading the thread.
Note: There is a typographical error in the first line of the thread. Beefeater wrote, “Weaponising Demographics – a deep dive into the democratic time-bomb in Russia.” At the end of the thread Beefeater corrected him/herself by saying, “Typo correction – should read “demographic”, not “democratic.”
Russians Speak for Themselves
Looking at statistics and policies can give an overview of some of the causes of the decline in birth rates. But the best source of information is the Russian people themselves.
In the video below, KGB Detected walked the streets to find out what Russians think. KGB Detected is a Russian who lives in Russia. “I make reaction videos about politics related to Russia, news and other content connected to Putin’s dictatorship. That’s why I’m wearing a mask,” he says.
In the description section under his video he states, “Russia has vast lands, endless resources … and a collapsing birth rate. The government demands more babies but who’s supposed to raise them – on what salaries, in what homes and for what future?
“In this video, we hit the streets to ask Russians why they’re not having children. Spoiler: [it] turns out, patriotism doesn’t pay the bills. Wages are shrinking, but the cost of living is skyrocketing. The state offers ‘support’ – which translates to empty slogans and moral lectures. And while officials demand higher birth rates, they send the existing generation to war.”
Could Covid Injections Be a Factor?
One of the ladies interviewed in the video above mentioned that there’s “no birth rate” because “everyone’s getting sick, they can’t conceive or the men are having problems.” She believed this was because of “the environment and the food.”
In the West, we are acutely aware of the negative effect covid injections have on fertility. But in Russia, this doesn’t seem to be on people’s minds. Perhaps it’s a case of “it depends who you ask”?
Sputnik V, the covid vaccine developed by the Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology in Russia, uses two recombinant adenoviruses as vectors to deliver the genetic code for recipients’ cells to make the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. The technology is similar to that used by the AstraZeneca covid injections.
In December 2020, before the first vaccination campaign began, Dr. Mike Yeadon and Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg filed a petition with the European Medicines Agency to halt the covid injection trials so that safety issues could be addressed. One of their concerns was infertility in women.
“The vaccinations are expected to produce antibodies against spike proteins of SARS-CoV-2. However, spike proteins also contain syncytin-homologous proteins, which are essential for the formation of the placenta in mammals such as humans. It must be absolutely ruled out that a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 could trigger an immune reaction against syncytin-1, as otherwise infertility of indefinite duration could result in vaccinated women,” they wrote.
During an interview with Maria Zeee in 2022, Professor Delores Cahill explained the spike protein in covid injections seems to attack the lining and the sheath of the uterus potentially causing infertility. Their plan is to have a huge increase in infertility during this century, she said, “their aim is to collapse the number of people” by the end of the century.
And, if remarks made last year on Russian state-owned television by the “father of Russia’s covid vaccine Sputnik V” are anything to go by, Russians were subjected to similar propaganda and coercion as in the West. In 2021, as we saw in the West, the Russian Ministry of Health urged pregnant women to get the injection, saying it would contribute to a more comfortable and safe pregnancy.

Apart from concerns about the spike protein, other safety issues have been raised. According to Argentine researchers, Sputnik V contains undeclared heavy metals as do other major covid “vaccine” brands.
Russia’s mass covid vaccination programme began on 5 December 2020 and more people died in 2021 than in any year since World War II. There were at least 622,000 deaths above the 2019 norm. This was not due to war as the Russia-Ukraine war began in February 2022.
Could covid injections also be a causative factor in Russia’s declining birth rate as it has been elsewhere?

The fertility problem is what I worry about the most. Never mind WW III, or turbo cancer, this is FAR worse. These are people never born in the first place.
In Czech Republic last month we learned of 66% plunge in fertility of vaxxed women. Three generations of that, and the population is maybe 8% of what it once was if the trend continues… or doesn’t get worse.
The US is rumored to have similar numbers, and surely the UK would be similar too.
It seems that this infertility as part of depopulation was an international plan. The question is whether Russia was part of that; Was it?
My guess is everyone is a prisoner.
Oh, the truth almost leaked out…
No doubt this is all true! But the wooly mammoth on the room that the pumpers of endless growth desperately try to cover up is the naked fact that, for a substantial portion of the world’s human beings (both male and female) HAVING CHILDREN IS SIMPLY NOT THAT REWARDING!!! There! I said it!
For most of the rest, one or two is completely sufficient. Given free choice and other opportunities, most couples don’t want more than replacement rate. Some do, and that’s fine, but the number is far fewer than the number happy with one or two.
We keep being propagandized with the idea that having a bunch of kids is a father’s pride and mother’s joy. Yes, for some it is! For SOME. For many, that’s the definition of misery. For the majority in the middle, it’s OK as long as they remain ignorant of other options in life. And that’s the way the population growth pumpers would like to keep things going.
The reset of the demographic pyramid won’t be easy for humanity as a whole, and I’ll have to live through it, too. But it’s necessary. I fully disagree with the way it’s being done, and am skeptical of what the end result will look like because of how it’s being engineered and the reasons behind the engineering, not because of the effects of population decline itself. Population booms and busts have occurred many times in human history, and usually end up pretty good for the survivors. But with the current concentration in wealth and advances in technology, this results of this bust could be different. But, history is hard to fathom and only time will tell.
If women of all cultures had been given equal pay and opportunities starting many decades ago, we wouldn’t be in this crisis now because both wives and husbands would have looked about and chosen other paths through life than “traditional family”. Or they would have had just one or two children instead of four or five. Many are the men and women I’ve spoken with who will admit privately that although they live their kids, had they known that life held pother options, they would have chosen to stay child free. Unfortunately, most researchers never seem to obtain this data though they could if they would just listen and give mothers and fathers a safe ear into which they could speak freely.
The smoothing out to a lower, and more culturally as well as environmentally, sustainable human population, could have taken place with far less drama and pain than the process will cause now. And we wouldn’t be having to argue about “what women want”. We might even be agreeing on “what MEN want”, which is generally smaller families, too, though few social or demography researchers seem to feel that paying attention to men on this issue is important. Unless the men advocate for stay-at-home moms taking care of a bunch of kids which “proves” their “masculinity”. Then suddenly they’re considered “THE” voice of men!
Anyway, thanks for letting me bring this up. It needs to be said up front and in bold, so the “researchers” who refuse to confront it don’t get away with the silent propaganda that it’s not a thing.
You’ve missed 2 things. First, in disgusting holes like the uk, they force people without kids to pay money to those with. The more kids, the more money. That’s the game the invaders are all playing. Second, most people want out of “their” country, and tying yourself to someone else is not the way to do that. There are no “options” for the bottom of the caste system – slavery or die.
You sound like a globalist that hates men.
What none of them mention is the WIRELESS RADIATION that is a known cause of infertility and sterility. It is also the main reason the COVID jabs are causing infertility — i.e., because those who got the jab have been injected with self-assembling wireless technology. These people are literally walking wireless devices with Bluetooth and Mac addresses.
lol
A lot of propaganda in this article. I know you guys are short staffed and I love the Doctor, but my advice is see if you can see thru or due more research instead of just reprinting articles that are not true and misleading because ultimately it hurts your credibility. I’ve noticed this for a while now, but I am finally mentioning it.
Hi Helene, can you give a specific example of what is in the article that you deem to be propaganda?
It’s perfectly simple. Over the last however many years – from the point the whole world started “using” the internet – every single human has realised just how repugnant humans are. Before that, they only “knew” whatever the dozen odd people they interacted with were like. Who would want to “raise a family” with anyone they know or know of?
Never an attempt to associate with patent contents.
Patents contain peptide sequence lists; Moderna alone contains 15+ proteins targeting ovaries and testis.
The public reads patents, they should know that.
They also telegraphed the action in symbolism. There are numerous “Brickhouse” statues by Simone. This is primordial Eve. You can see that she has had her eyes removed. Your eyes symbolize your realm of influence (control what you survey), and Eve’s is being the origin of man.
In similar fashion, the Rockefellers were gifted an oracle of a dwarf. This is Bes, who is a mountbank, or fake doctor.
At this point, patents are expected. If authors aren’t making associations, it’s probably intentional. Not surprising when you see names like Yeadon and Zeee. I saw Zeee on substack interviewing an obvious AI bot while dramatically acting like it was real.
Patents are expected.
