Russia has long held the inglorious title of abortion capital of the world, with consistently the most terminations per woman of child-bearing-age of any nation. This grisly habit was established back in Soviet times, when the shimmering workers' paradise found simply snuffing-out the unborn less expensive than supplying birth-control in effective quantities.
ah, the glorious efficiencies of central-planning!
And while any red-blooded male can somewhat empathize with those who couldn't resist impregnating beautiful Russian women, the fact is that this deeply-damaged society holds the value of life in about the same esteem as most would a used Kleenex- a calloused and warped moral framework that could only be the (enduring) result of the harsh, godless existence as was the USSR.
Now just yesterday a Russian fisherman who thought he had stumbled across some useful 55-gallon-type water barrels up in a Ural Mountain forest also discovered 248 fetuses still foot-tagged and preserved in formaldehyde -nice, huh
There are still some actual human beings in Russia though, i.e. the Russian Orthodox Church, which stands in staunch opposition to abortion. The procedure was last banned from 1936-1954 in the USSR but is currently legal in Russia for up to twelve weeks (22 in case of rape). Despite some limitations, it's the rate that's breathtaking... surely a preview of what's in store for our country if we allow 'socially progressive' zealots to continue on their quest to make Planned Parenthood clinics more ubiquitous than Coke machines.

Your information is 20 years out of date. Unlike the USA where a woman can murder her child up to the day before birth, Russia has long ago outlawed abortions past the 12th week and there are strong efforts to outlaw abortions in general. Russia's abortion rates are on par with the rest of the West. Furthermore, the birthrate has been rising for the past 7 years and is at replenishment levels, even if just barely.
But stereotypes are fun so why get rid of them?
Furthermore, while apartments were small, averaging 500-750sq feet, they were not tiny and were never the warrens of death that were the immigrant ghettos of the US up through the 1930s. New apartments range in size to what the buyer affords.
Making a statement that there are still human beings in Russia, let me turn that around and say that despite abortion on demand and constant exportation of it, the military support of one Christian murfering Islamic jihad after another, there are still human beings in America.
Doesn't taste to well in your mouth? How do you think your statement tastes to a Russia?
