Midway through the video, Natalya Moskvitina and Mark Itskovich, head of the Service of Perinatal Psychologists of the Ministerstvo zdravookhraneniya Sverdlovskoy oblasti (Sverdlovsk Region Ministry of Health), tear a poster about contraceptives off the wall at the No. 1 women’s consultation clinic and, smiling, stomp on it.

«Listen, with the demographic situation as it is. You come in, and they offer you sterilization… Why offer it? We should take it [the poster] down. We need women to be pregnant,» — says Natalya.
On her Telegram channel, Natalya Moskvitina describes herself as a mother of four, a host on the Spas TV channel (Orthodox channel), author of the book «Papa’s Daughter», president of the public foundation Obshchestvenny fond «Zhenshchiny za zhizn’» (Women for Life), and a member of the Obshchestvennaya palata (Public Chamber).
