Vladimir Putin has ordered his people to produce more babies.
The Russian prime minister is offering cash incentives to mothers who have a third child.
But the edict, which is aimed at halting an alarming population decline, was immediately ridiculed by internet bloggers.
One woman, Inna, said: "So, now we have to make love non-stop? In the USSR they said there was no sex. In the Russian Federation it's have sex then take the money."
Another said: "If a woman doesn't want to give birth, nothing will change it, no matter where he puts his money."
