Too few. This number is dismal compared to how many are still missing. Fuck. Russia.

I can't remember where I read it, but we saw this with people who were born after 9/11 in the States. Pregnant mothers who experienced heightened levels of anxiety and PTSD after the attack had significantly lower cortisol levels and they passed that onto their children in utero. I imagine that happens all over the world with traumatic events.
