AsiaOne website reports that Pletneva said the World Cup hosted by Russia could mean "there will be young women who meet someone and then give birth... I hope not."

Continuing, she said: "We should be giving birth to our own children," when asked if it isn’t a good thing if the football tournament boosted the Russian birth rate.

Pletneva also warned that children who are mixed-race are likely to be brought up in one-parent families.

"It's the children who suffer... and have suffered since the Soviet era. It's lucky if they're the same race (as the mother) but if they're of another race, it's worse, I'm not a nationalist," she said.

The lawmaker also said that the products of the sex between Russian women and foreigners risk being abandoned and just left with their mother or alternatively being taken abroad by their fathers.
