Пронько: Нищета вытащит Россию из демографической "ямы"?

One of the State Duma deputies representing "ЕдРо" claimed that poverty is the key to higher birth rates, arguing that a life of hardship rather than prosperity will solve Russia’s demographic crisis. He suggested that poverty serves as a model for society and that he has not refused his deputy salary, which is free for him but not for taxpayers, along with other state benefits. He is willing to redirect taxpayer money into poverty for the supposed benefit of the people.
