[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 587083, member: 14557"] For the reasons I mentioned, Russia has been doing propaganda with kids a lot lately. It is mainly for their domestic purposes, but quite maddening especially for us who live near enough that we actually have to care. It's always like that. When there is problems inside the Russia for those in power, all kinds of funny things start to happen in other countries to try to take Russians' interest away from their domestic issues. Currently the real problem is that middle class is not too happy. They fear loosing their freedoms, don't trust government at all, are afraid civil rights may be reduced even more etc. And they certainly are not happy with housing situation in big cities, that prices of things they want going through the roof etc. and because kids are such an emotional topic, kid related issues are currently used. Though, very surprisingly, one independent paper was very recently (like two weeks ago) able to publish a study in Russia there they tracked out what had happened kids who were adopted domestically. Apparently very high per cent of those kids had died compared to non-adoptive kids. No one has tracked the reasons of the deaths, but the paper asked that maybe it wasn't only Americans who 'kill their adoptive kids.' I have no idea, how big that paper is and I'm sure the story never got to government controlled media (like television) in Russia, but it wouldn't be that far fetched, if this story would be Kremlin reaction to that article. Russian politics or society and having to play with that is not for those weak on nerves. If we could, we would happily take our land and move somewhere between Iceland and Greenland just to put few more miles between us and Russia. No such luck though. [/QUOTE]
