Chechen mums to get cash for birth of baby boys
Chechen women who gave birth to a baby boy yesterday, when the rebellious region voted for a new president, will get just over $300, Itar-Tass news agency reported.
The 10,000 rouble ($329) award ? a significant amount in the war-torn region ? was offered by Chechnya?s boxing federation in an announcement broadcast on local television.
?Every baby boy born in Chechnya on the fifth of October will receive a special cash prize,? the announcement said. ?In the case of twins, the prize will automatically be doubled.?
Tass said its correspondent had visited a hospital in the regional capital Grozny and found 16 mothers-to-be determined to give birth on the day.
Rebels have denounced the election and many observers say it is a meaningless one-horse race engineered by the Kremlin.
