Speaking of stressing them, how about this, only half unserious.
You can tell how a country is doing by which way the mail order brides flow. They do not flow into Russia. So this is what we do. We offer a green card and $20,000 to any educated Russian woman who wants to come over here. The Euro Union nations can do a similar thing. We will win two ways. First we get some good people who want to make their lives better and the Russian demographic problem will be exacerbated. We could expand the program by offering the same thing to any Russian with say a doctorate or doctorate level experience in any of the hard sciences or engineering professions.
That should stimulate the bidding in the Kremlin.
