The State Duma proposed to establish a state award for fathers of three or more children

On August 1, the leader of the Fair Russia party, the head of the Duma faction, Sergei Mironov, proposed the establishment of a state award "For raising children" for men who raise three or more children.

"We have the title of "Mother Heroine," and that's right: a maternal feat should be celebrated by the state. But the father's contribution to the upbringing of children is no less important," Mironov said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

According to the parliamentarian, the new federal award could be awarded to fathers with many children who provided education to their children and participated in their upbringing and moral development. Mironov believes that such a measure will help strengthen the institution of fatherhood and increase the prestige of large families.
