The initiator of the tax explained that there are important nuances in the proposed concept. Here we are talking not only about the direct birth of children, but also about the procedure of “Russification” – the formation of a people through migration flows.
Evgeny Fedorov, a member of the Committee on Budget and Taxes of the Russian State Duma, proposed introducing a tax on childlessness in the Russian Federation. He said this in his commentary “Moscow Speaks”.
The deputy believes that today Russia needs the doctrine of “identity through Russian multinationality”.

“The childlessness tax itself was not bad, as it was in the Soviet Union, but in the concept in the Soviet Union. From demography we need to understand not only the birth of children, but also, in principle, Russification. “The procedure, naturally through Russian migration flows and population “Increase is the formation of a people through growth in all respects and not merely through the mechanism of birth,” he believes.
He noted that it is necessary to encourage the birth of children in the Russian Federation, especially through maternity capital.
“Is it necessary to introduce taxes for this? It is necessary if there is not enough money for these projects. If there is enough money without this, then there is no need. This is not a penalty, but a way to solve the problem,” Fedorov.
For reference: The childlessness tax existed in the USSR since November 1941 as “Tax on bachelors, bachelors and small family citizens”, based on the Decrees of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of November 21, 1941. Payment to the state was abolished in the 1990s.
Let us remind you that the birth rate in Ukraine has reached its lowest level since independence, becoming the worst in the world. The number of births in January-June 2023 is 28% lower than in the same pre-war period in 2021.
