Russia is vast and sparsely populated, and a large number of people are concentrated in big cities in the west, which leads to the hollowing out of other regions.

Russian population experts believe that if Russia wants to ensure population growth, every family must have at least three children. According to Tatiana Mareva, director of the Russian Metropolitan Institute of Humanities Development, nearly 6% of Russian young couples have no plans to have children in recent years, and the proportion in Moscow has reached 15%. She pointed out that children's education, medical care and family housing conditions will all affect their attitude towards fertility.

The population problem has always been one of the difficult problems that plague the Russian government. In order to encourage fertility, Russians set up this mother fund.

In fact, this measure was taken after World War II, when the Soviet Union lost more than 22 million people. In order to restore the population, the then government encouraged childbearing, awarded many mothers the title of heroic mother, and awarded bonuses and medals.
