Putin decided to control the search engines: an elderly IT expert ordered to change the search algorithms so that on the first pages people would see only sites that oppose abortion. The authorities prohibit abortions in Russia in every way possible: in many regions they cannot be performed in private clinics, and in public clinics they drag their feet so that the woman does not have time to terminate the pregnancy within the permitted period. This policy already has results: there are indeed fewer abortions in Russia, but at the same time the number of abortions is increasing.
