In Russia, they suggested blocking childfree communities ("freedom from children"). Representatives of this subculture and ideology related with the conscious refusal of the birth of children, proposed to consider dangerous, and their posts - inculcating hatred of motherhood and children in general.

The letter notes that the state is trying to create as much as possible measures to support motherhood and childhood, much has already changed for the better in demographic and family policies.

Statements and publications of childfree communities in this context even more “dirty” family values, instill hatred and contempt for motherhood and childhood. It also scares these communities regularly replenish their ranks with new adepts. And these are young people in reproductive age.

The authors of the initiative proposed to make changes to the law on information; it is he who outlines the limits of permissible and unacceptable content.

The followers of the "child-free" are divided into those who hate children in general, and therefore voluntarily goes into sterilization and does not consider the issue of adopting a child, as well as those who have nothing against children, but refuses to start them, preferring a more comfortable life. burdened with care for offspring.

On average in Russia, about 8% of women and 12% of men consciously and voluntarily, in the presence of normal health, refuse to give birth. But not all of them belong to the childfree communities.

In the VKontakte network alone, there are about 10 open groups today and the same number of closed for opponents of childbearing.

Some psychotherapists in Russia claim that childfrey is forced to unite in groups in order to defend itself against the attacks of more numerous supporters of normal family values.

The first blocking incidents have already occurred. Thus, in 2013 in St. Petersburg, by decision of the prosecutor's office, the account of a local resident, the founder of the childfree community, was blocked. She never managed to reverse this decision.
