Vladimir Putin's government is honoring the family with the largest number of children in Russia by choosing it and giving it a high award.
Russia's highest award
Moscow's Vera and Timofey Asachyov have been named the largest family of the year. Vera and Timofey Asachyov, who have 8 children, have also won one of Russia's highest awards, the Order of Parental Glory.
The city is also full of posters about the family. Russia's birth rate is at its lowest in a quarter of a century.
This is why Russian families are being indirectly promoted to become like Vera and Timofey Asachyov's family. Official data shows that 599,600 children were born in Russia in the first half of 2024.
This is 16,000 fewer than in the same period in 2023 and the lowest since 1999. The presidential palace, which has described the situation as a disaster for Russian society, has begun encouraging parents to have more children.
Childless life
As a first step, a bill was introduced in parliament last month to change the trend of childless families. Anyone who promotes childless life will now face a fine.
If childless life is so prevalent in Russia, there must be reasons for it, they say. President Putin previously encouraged married women to have at least three children, considering the future of Russia.
However, Russian law also emphasizes that women have the full right not to have children. They say that the childless life propaganda that is currently taking root throughout Russia has become a major problem.
