Facing a declining and ageing population, Russia has revived a Soviet-era honor and introduced a cash reward for women who give birth to and raise 10 kids.
It comes with stipulations, including raising all children with an "appropriate level of care" and all being alive, aside from those killed in military or civic service.
Russia has long faced an economic challenge from a declining and ageing population, which has accelerated since its invasion of Ukraine.The Russian government announced it is reviving the Soviet-era honorary title "Mother Heroine" for women who have 10 or more children, as it confronts a population decline that has accelerated since its invasion of Ukraine.
Meanwhile, all 10 children must be alive, unless they died during military, official or civic service, or in a terrorist attack. The "Mother Heroine" title was established in 1944 and bestowed until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.They will be an equivalent rank to those with the titles "Hero of the Russian Federation," usually awarded for bravery; and "Hero of Labor," awarded for service to the state.
