    "Middlebury College professor injured by protesters as she escorted controversial speaker" (Posted on March 6, 2017) [By Addison Independent]

    Middlebury College Professor Allison Stanger was injured by protesters Thursday evening as she was escorting a controversial speaker from campus. She was treated at Porter Hospital and released.

    Charles Murray, a political scientist who has been criticized for his views on race and intelligence, was invited to speak on campus by a student group. He was greeted late Thursday afternoon outside McCullough Student Center by hundreds of protesters, and inside Wilson Hall, students turned their backs to him and booed when he got up to speak.

    College officials led Murray to another location and a closed circuit broadcast showed him being interviewed by Stanger, the Russell J. Leng ’60 Professor of International Politics and Economics.

    As Stanger, Murray and a college administrator left McCullough following the event, they were “physically and violently confronted by a group of protesters,” according to college spokesman Bill Burger.

    Burger said the protesters were masked.

    “It is our belief that some of them were nonstudents. They were not from our community. I would call them ‘outside agitators.’ But I also believe that it’s possible that some of them were students,” he said.

    Burger said college public safety officers managed to get Stanger and Murray into the administrator’s car.

    “The protesters then violently set upon the car, rocking it, pounding on it, jumping on and trying to prevent it from leaving campus,” he said. “At one point a large traffic sign was thrown in front of the car. Public Safety officers were able, finally, to clear the way to allow the vehicle to leave campus.

    “During this confrontation outside McCullough, one of the demonstrators pulled Prof. Stanger’s hair and twisted her neck,” Burger continued. “She was attended to at Porter Hospital later and (on Friday) is wearing a neck brace.”

    Burger described the attacks as “scary, violent mob action” and praised campus safety officers for their part in protecting Murray and Stanger.

    Sgt. Mike Christopher of the town of Middlebury Police Department said local officers were on campus but hadn’t heard about the attack.

    Social and some of psychology problems of family creation and child birth in today RF:

    "About ways to solve demographic crysis in Russia" (in Russian language)
    // Zhanna Tachmamedova, newspaper "Sutj vremeni" N557, 30 oct 2023

    Addition of my interpretation:
    Much of psychology side of described problems is lack of love in pairs. As people are studed by medias and other culture influences to be too individualistic. Hence lesser of trust between people. Lesser wish to make normal family pair, to born children, more of them. Lesser stability of pairs. Secondarily, due to lack of friendship - lesser productivity of pairs cooperation to provide the care and conditions to born more of children.
    On social input of complications I'd relate a half of reasons wieght. Mb even lesser.

    From types side needs to note, that to have duality does not solve itself the problem of lack of love. It's only among factors which make easier to establish good friendship relations and love. If people stay on individualistic side, instead of making the pair in more full sense - when interests, mind contents and events of other one are important the same as own (when people are much joined by minds and lifes) - they do not make good and deep friendship, despite it would be easier having duality types. And will not get much of the good from positive IR in the degree which would be possibly.

    After 30 years of capitalistic and antisocialistic propaganda organised on state level and happening almost totally in medias, - about 50% in RF keep much positive evaluation of socialistic revolution in october 1917, communistic party leadership and USSR.
    Definetely opposite are ~10%. Others have middle and contradicting opinions state.
    During last 10 years the situation is partly stable. Partly turns to socialistic side.

    When you are told that capitalism and liberals at formal power in RF are "peoples choice". Look what was in RF in autumn 1993, for example. We live under capitalistic dictatorship which destroys our lifes and suppresses development, while "rullers"-sellers are controlled by inner and external enemies.
