Also it’s hard to find call history, and more.

As recently as Thursday, Vladimir Putin told a Kremlin demographic conference that increasing births was “crucial” for Russia.
Putin has launched initiatives to encourage people to have more children -- from free school meals for large families to awarding Soviet-style “hero-mother” medals to women with 10 or more children.
“Many of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers had seven, eight, and even more children,” Putin said in 2023.

The very little I know (•very• little! grain of salt!) about getting people out of a cult is that arguing with them just makes them dig in — but gentle, persistent questioning that leads to ever-increasing cumulative cognitive dissonance can actually help them find their way out of the psychological maze. Repeated •questions• — just questions — sustained over time. Make the constructed reality require more and more work to maintain. Make the pile of nagging doubts get larger and larger. Be patient and be persistent.
