Russians Adopt U.S. Tactics in Opposing Abortion - NYTimes.com: While the United States is often derided as a model of immorality in Russia, its anti-abortion movement has become a model for Russian activists, who have even adopted the English-language term “pro-life” as their own. American-style pickets of abortion clinics are becoming a staple of the movement in Russia.
The campaign is heavily influenced by the Russian Orthodox Church, which is drawing on the tacit support of the first lady, Svetlana Medvedeva, and prominent politicians.
