The president has called for the promotion of large traditional families

President Vladimir Putin urged Russians on Thursday to promote large traditional families as a popular social trend, calling it essential for the country's development in an increasingly turbulent world.

Putin has repeatedly referred to traditional values in his speeches, describing them as "the foundation of life" in Russian society.

"Only you, with your creative flair, can make the good, large, traditional family a fashionable trend in Russia's development," the president told participants of the 'Strong Ideas for a New Time' forum. "I really want to ask you to do this."

The president stressed that the traditional family remains one of the most important conditions for Russia's continued existence and growth in an "increasingly complex and contradictory global environment."

Putin also said that Russia welcomes those from abroad "with a good education, strong skills, and a desire to work, live, and raise their children in an environment they see as supportive of family values."

"We will only encourage their willingness to work with us," he added.

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia has faced demographic challenges, with a declining population and low birth rates.

Last month, Putin backed the idea of establishing a nationwide family support service. In December, he set up a council focused on demographic and family-related policies. The Russian government has also drafted a national strategy aimed at boosting birth rates and strengthening support for families.
