According to the journalists of The Telegraph, the criminal Russian authorities want to ban people without children from acting in films, advertisements and being faces in textbooks.

Points of attention

  • The Russian government is contemplating a law that would restrict childless individuals from acting in films, advertisements, and textbooks to address the country's low birth rate.
  • The proposed law includes heavy fines for individuals and organizations supporting the decision to remain childless, sparking outrage both in Russia and globally.
  • Government officials argue that without children, there would be no future for the country, prompting calls for an increase in the number of newborns.
  • The absurdity and severe restrictions on personal freedom imposed by the new law have sparked intense debate and criticism within Russian and international communities.
  • The demographic situation in Russia, with a declining birth rate over the years, has prompted the Kremlin to take drastic measures to encourage its citizens to have more children.

What are the reasons for banning childless Russians from acting in movies and commercials?

The Kremlin will soon ban childless families from appearing in films, advertisements and textbooks in order to encourage Russians to give birth to more children, the journalists of the publication emphasize.

It is noted that currently the population of the aggressor country is about 144 million people, which is 2.5% less than in the period after the collapse of the USSR in the early 90s of the last century

The article emphasizes that the birth rate in Russia is also at its lowest level in the last 25 years.

Without children, there would be no country, said Vyacheslav Volodin, the speaker of the lower house of the Russian State Duma.

Watch: Trump bragged about a "gold card" for foreigners with his face

Donald Trump
“gold card”

US President Donald Trump proudly showed reporters aboard his Air Force One plane a $5 million "gold card" with his image, which wealthy foreigners can obtain.

Points of attention

  • Donald Trump proudly introduced a $5 million “gold card” program aimed at granting residency in the US to foreign investors.
  • The “gold card” system is an update to the EB-5 visa program, offering individuals the opportunity to obtain a green card through significant investments in the US economy.
  • The initiative has sparked debates between supporters who believe it can bring capital to the US and critics who argue that focusing on attracting skilled talent should be the priority.

Trump flaunted his “gold card”

Trump's proposed "gold card" program would grant residency in the US to individuals who invest $5 million in the country.

For $5 million, it can be yours. That was the first of the cards. Do you know what card it is? It's the gold card, the Trump card.

Back in February, Trump announced plans to start selling "gold cards" that would grant privileges to foreigners with "big pockets." Trump said at the time that Russian oligarchs could be eligible to buy such a card.

Trump claimed that he was the first buyer of the card and explained that it would likely "be released in less than two weeks."

The "golden card" system is based on an update to the EB-5 visa program, which gives foreign citizens who have invested about $1 million in the United States the opportunity to obtain a green card, which differs from a visa in that it allows permanent residence and opens the way to citizenship.

Unlike certain visas that tie foreigners to specific jobs, green cards give migrants flexibility in choosing where to work.

The "gold card" initiative, announced as part of a broader immigration reform, marks the US president's focus on investment-based immigration. Supporters argue it could bring significant capital to the US, while critics argue that attracting skilled talent should be a priority.
