In a firm stance on traditional family structures, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared that under his leadership, Russia would maintain its commitment to conventional family roles.
The Kremlin Boss made this remark during a recent public address, highlighting his continued resistance to what he considers Western cultural shifts toward non-traditional family definitions.
“As long as I am President of Russia, we will not have Parent 1 and Parent 2, we will have mom and dad.” He stated.
Russia has long maintained policies that emphasize the importance of traditional gender roles, particularly in family dynamics, with Putin often presenting this as a defense against perceived external ideological influences.
Critics argue that such comments reinforce discriminatory practices against non-traditional families and LGBTQ+ communities, while supporters see the president’s rhetoric as safeguarding Russian values.
This latest comment adds to a series of speeches and policies from the Kremlin that promote conservative social policies in Russia.
