Olga Dekhtyarenko, a mother of many children from Yamal, who was awarded the title of mother-hero by Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2022, told socialbites.ca that she spent one million rubles paid to her on a trip to the Kaliningrad region and repairs. in his apartment. He noted that after conferring the title, relations with local authorities “become even closer” and that the governor even helped a large family replenish its fleet of vehicles.
“The prize received for the award was partially spent on a trip to the Kaliningrad region: we visited the Baltic beaches, the children wandered through the abandoned German places. Part of the prize was left for cosmetic repairs in the apartment. In a word, the money worked. The attitude of the local authorities has always been good towards our family, now the relationship has become even closer. The governor helped renew the family’s fleet of vehicles. Recently, we met with the neighborhood headman and the deputies on the street, we learned, we approached, we said hello, we asked what we are living, what we need. It was nice that he even remembered his name.”
Dekhtyarenko emphasized that the main event of the awards last year was a meeting with the President of Russia. He is still asked to share his impressions of her.
“Attention to large families is systematic. I think it makes sense to establish the title of “Mother Hero” among the rings of this system. The main event of my award was my meeting with the President. And this is not just my opinion. Everyone who learned about this award is primarily interested in the impressions of communication with the head of state. Therefore, the main change was the appearance of a copy: “This is what Putin rewarded.” Some even joke: “Now you can get right back to the top with any problem,” he added.
According to Dekhtyarenko, the decision on how many children to give birth to should be made independently by each family. The woman explained that she “doesn’t have one extra” among her ten children.

On November 14, 2022, Putin, by decree, awarded the title of “Mother Hero” for the first time to two women: the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov, a resident of Medni and Yamal Olga Dekhtyarenko.
