Russia Arrests Demographic Institute Head Amid Record Low Fertility
The director of the “Institute for Demographic Development” in Nizhny Novgorod, Evgeny Zhuravlev, has been arrested on charges of large-scale fraud following complaints from former subordinates. This development comes amidst Russia’s persistent demographic crisis, marked by birth rates falling to historic lows. Despite governmental initiatives and calls for earlier marriages, the country continues to experience a significant decline in population.
