The Deputy Undersecretary of the Security Council, Nail Mukhitov, emphasized that defending traditional values is a sacred responsibility for Russians. This statement was reported by TASS and reflects a broader stance within the leadership about cultural preservation and national identity.
He asserted that ordinary Russian citizens bear the duty to educate younger generations and to counter efforts aimed at rewriting the country’s history. Mukhitov argued that Western powers fail to grasp the resilience of the Russian spirit and the country’s determination to remain independent, resistant to what he described as attempts to subjugate Russia. The remarks point to a rhetorical priority placed on unity, continuity, and the safeguarding of a national narrative that aligns with the state’s governance and social policy goals.
Earlier, Sergei Morozov, former governor of the Ulyanovsk region, called for Ban on parading what he described as “naked orgies” after a party featuring male strippers held in the Year of the Family. Morozov stressed that such events are inappropriate and inconsistent with the values the government seeks to promote during this period. He also reiterated that it is unacceptable to stage controversial performances during what the authorities refer to as the SVO, signaling a push toward events and conduct that align with the year’s family-centric agenda.
Reports indicate that the Russian government plans to allocate 490 million rubles for activities related to the Year of the Family as it proceeds across the country. The funding will come from the government reserve fund and will support the development of a dedicated Year of the Family website, official social media accounts, a project office, and a series of federal forums. These forums are intended to generate proposals on demographic policy and family policy with an execution horizon extending to 2030. The allocation underscores the administration’s emphasis on demographic issues and social policy as central to national strategy.
Earlier, it was noted that President Vladimir Putin officially launched the Year of the Family in Russia, signaling a government-wide initiative designed to highlight family values, demography, and the social priorities associated with strengthening the domestic social fabric. The rollout appears to be part of a broader effort to align public messaging and policy instruments with the administration’s long-term vision for population growth, family stability, and cultural continuity.
