This amount will be given on the birth of the 10th child and all the children will be alive. Babies who die during pregnancy or after birth will not be counted.
This announcement comes after the unprecedented drop in the birth rate during the Corona epidemic and the death of thousands of Russian soldiers in the war in Ukraine.
Experts say the announcement supports the Russian president's position that a family with a large number of children will be considered more patriotic.
Russia's birth rate has been steadily declining since 2010, and has now risen alarmingly.
It should be noted that at present the birth rate of children in Russia is one point five zero per woman.
