“I am extremely glad that our state is consciously taking a vector to support the institution of the family.

The family is the foundation of the country, our future and our strength,” the deputy stressed.

According to him, motherhood is “the most important work in the interests of the entire state.”

“It’s work, and not an option for a woman’s civil status. I hope that we will gradually come to the realization of further steps towards motherhood and the parental community: for example, the inclusion of time to care for a child in the length of service,” concluded the interlocutor of RT. 

Earlier, Putin supported the idea to revive the honorary title "Mother Heroine".

Payments to women who have received this title should amount to 1 million rubles, he said.
