I disagree. There’s a lot of reasons why people don’t have children, including:
emotional devastated youth (abandoned by parents, addicted to smartphones, misunderstood by society)
people can’t find partners for this reason
too much stress from too much work
wages are barely keeping up with inflation, and I project they will in fact not keep up in the long term in the US due to missing labor protections and decreasing demand for labor.
rising cost of living because politically, nobody really cares about the population.
edit: sorry i realized i made these points US-specific but you were talking about russia, sorry.
The strongest correlating factor around whether a child born into the world will starve to death or not is whether the mother has a basic education. It outweighs even regional data.

Well, interest rates were just raised to 19% in Russia. So good luck financing anything.
So much of our world is based around women keeping it on the rails without receiving credit for their efforts.
