Russia has one of the worst abortion rates on planet Earth, 45 per 1,000 women.

Its church attendance rate among the Russians who identify as Orthodox is somewhere between 6 and 14%.

If you look at the total population of Russia, it's actually significantly lower at 2 to 8%.

Their total fertility rate is 1.4.

The birth rate is 1.37 children per woman.

That is way below replacement rate.

They're going to have their population.

The fastest growing religion in Russia is Islam.

14 to 20% of the population with far higher observance and fertility rates than Christians in Russia.

Their drug, alcohol, and STD rates remain the highest in the world outside of Sub-Saharan Africa.

Russia has a massive suicide rate, 2.3 times higher than the world average.

Their life expectancy is lower than the rest of the West.

And this is the model.

These are the people that you should be seeing as a model for the West, the people who have got it right.
