Let's Be Patriotic - And Procreate!

From the Star Tribune:

If the streets of Ulyanovsk are quiet today, it's because residents are busy doing their patriotic duty: helping stem Russia's plummeting birthrate. Couples in the Volga River city have been given time off from work to, well, procreate. Prizes await those who give birth in exactly nine months.

I saw this on TV too - apparently, they are giving away SUVs, Houses, Vacations, etc!
