Vyacheslav Volodin, the speaker of Russia's lower house of parliament, argued that it is crucial to shield the younger generation from being exposed to ideologies promoting childlessness through the internet, media, cinema, and advertising. He emphasized that the government is committed to establishing a robust legal framework that upholds the values surrounding children, families, and traditional norms, indicating a clear stance against the increasing influences of alternative lifestyles on societal beliefs.
Elvira Aitkulova, a leading advocate for the legislation, points to official statistics that reveal more than 22% of couples in Russia are without children. She contends that 'manipulative technologies' are perpetuating the idea that childlessness is the societal norm, which she believes is detrimental to traditional family structures and must be countered through legal measures aimed at preserving what she views as essential societal values.
