Maria Lvova-Belova, a famous mother with many children, the Russian Presidential Commissioner for Children's Rights, spoke about her family with many children, traditions, responsibility and the value of family for every person. The meeting with Maria Lvova-Belova took place in the Lecture Hall of the "Knowledge" Society, the general partner of the educational program of the RUSSIA EXPO.

"I myself grew up in a large family: there are four of us, I am the oldest. When I got married at the age of 18 and had my firstborn, it was already my fourth child, because I was bringing up my younger brothers and sisters. Now I have 10 children: five born and five adopted. For me family is the place where I draw my energy from, the thing that makes me wake up in the morning and realize that every day is not in vain," said Maria Lvova-Belova.

According to the Commissioner for Children's Rights, having one child is the most difficult time, because the baby is always with you. And if there are more children in the family, then there is an opportunity to say: "Go play together!" Or ask the older child for help. Maria Lvova-Belova is sure that we help our children by raising a family spirit in them and give a present to our elders by giving birth to younger ones.

"Having many children is happiness, it's great! And the fact that the President has designated 2024 as the Year of the Family is significant! When Vladimir Vladimirovich and I meet, it always seems to me that he is a big daddy to all of us. Who always and immediately wants to help and comfort. He always says to me: "Everyone is my children, I worry about them like a real father". In the Year of the Family, this approach should be formed in us as well: family is the main thing," emphasized Maria Lvova-Belova.
