ULYANOVSK, Russia (Reuters) - The governor of a central Russian province urged couples to skip work Wednesday and make love instead to help boost Russia's low birth-rate. And if a woman gives birth in exactly nine months time -- on Russia's national day on June 12 -- she will qualify for a prize, perhaps even winning a new home. 'It's normally something for the home -- a fridge or a television set,' Yelena Yakovleva at the Ulyanovsk regional administration press office, said. 'It doesn't matter if it's a girl or a boy.' Newly-weds Karina and Anton Bukhanovsky walked hand in hand down the main street of the regional capital of Ulyanovsk. They live in St Petersburg but traveled to Ulyanovsk to soak up the atmosphere Wednesday. 'I used to live here,' said Karina, aged 19. 'We plan to come back on the same day next year and try for a baby and the prize nine months later,' she said.
