An All-Russian conference “Demographic crisis as a complex problem” was
held in the Russian city of Magnitogorsk on January 16-17; the
conference was organized by public association “Center for maternity
and childhood protection” and department for psychology of personality
development of the Magnitogorsk State University with support of the
Russian Health Care Ministry. The demographic catastrophe raging in
Russia was considered from different aspects. Participants of the
conference delivered reports on the actual state of the national
problem, such problem as excess weight of the population was also
touched upon there. Doctor of Medical Science Igor Gundarov delivered a
report which became a real sensation against the background of other,
not less interesting reports delivered at the conference.
In the words
of Igor Gundarov, science now officially recognizes what it used to
deny categorically some time ago: it is recognized that people own some
substance called “soul”. What is more, scientists say that when the
soul aches, it causes demographic crisis.
Rate of Human Death
Russia's present-day
demographic crisis is characterized not only with birth rate reduction,
but with an incredible death rate as well. Doctors even mention the
words “super death-rate”. The population of Russia reduces by
0.7% every year. Scientists even calculated the speed at which Russia's
population is dying out – 16 per mille a year (the showing was 2.5
times lower in the 1960s). If the nation keeps on dying away at this
speed, the Russian population will reduce by 15 million people in 13
years.
The problem arose not yesterday and not immediately at all. The
negative growth of population (it means that death rate is higher than
birth rate) in Russia's Chelyabinsk region outlined for the first time
nine years ago, and the situation hasn't improved there since that
time. In some regions of the country this situation could be explained
with unfavorable ecological conditions. However, the demographic
catastrophe is spreading synchronously at an enormous distance. At the
time when an outbreak of heart attack deaths is registered in
Kaliningrad, the same situation will be registered in Vladivostok as
well. The nation is aging speedily. On average, women aged by 3 years
in the physiological aspects and men by 7-8 years. It is rather
frequent that men die in the heyday.
The problem of sweeping dying
out is urgent not only for Russians. The population of former
Baltic republics of the Soviet Union is also under the threat of
depopulation. Does it mean that it is not a mortality epidemic, but a
pandemic which is fatal for the whole of the world community, not one
country?
Why Do We Die Out?
Doctors and demographers have compiled already long ago a so-called
list of social vices that cause dreadful diseases and entail high death
rate; the vices are smoking, alcoholism, stresses. But when scientists
studied statistics concerning smoking, they discovered that people
smoke as much as they did ten years ago. However, the death rate is
increasing. The same situation is with alcoholism. When official world
statistics concerning alcohol drinking per capita was studied, it
turned out that people in France, Germany and Portugal drink even more
alcohol than Russians. However, the life-span in these countries is
much longer than in Russia, where deaths of men still capable of
working are frequent.
When historic parallels were drawn, it became clear that stresses were
no longer relevant as reasons of the demographic catastrophe. For
instance, there were too many reasons for stresses in the years of the
Great Depression in the USA and Western Europe, however, number of
suicides increased there only by 8% at that period. But number of
suicides increased by 80% within the period of Russia's transition to
market economy. It is quite natural that the above mentioned risk
factors cannot be ignored. But all these factors explain the process of
rapid dying out of the nation just partially.
Amputation of Soul
When scientists failed to discover reasons of the demographic
catastrophe in the reality, they focused attention on the irreality.
They studied once again works of religious figures, recollected the
divine commandments and analyzed the list of the deadly sins. They
discovered actually very interesting facts!
With the help of information provided by the official statistics, it
was found out that death rate increases when people break the divine
commandments frequently. For instance, when several bloody murders are
committed in some part of the country (the commandment not to murder),
it means that in half a year the place will be struck with deaths from
heart attacks. When number of divorces increased in a city in the
Moscow region (the commandment not to commit adultery), it is for sure
that hundreds of people will die there from cerebral hemorrhages and
hypertension in a year.
The interrelation between
spiritual and physical ill health of the nation explains why people die
so frequently here. So, a theory of soul rejection arose. As Professor Igor Gundarov says,
some time ago souls of Soviet people were oriented at equality and
community. But this soul was amputated with a sharp scalpel of
political reforms in the 1990s. And philosophy of our life radically
changed at the same time: people began treating each others like
enemies; some of us traditionally think that cheating is inevitable in
everyday life and helps us survive, etc. But this new soul
failed to get acclimatized, and human body rejected it, the same way
like transplanted organs are sometimes rejected. This is the
explanation to the question why the nation is dying away. Professor
Gundarov thinks that it's time for Russia to reanimate moral principles
and even base the national economy on moral and fair principles. Is it
another utopia or a way to salvation?
