Nadezhda Babkina at the National Centre RUSSIA: my Motherland is a multinational home
As part of the all-Russian survey "What Does the
Motherland Begin With?", conducted by the National Centre RUSSIA, People’s
Artist of the RSFSR Nadezhda Babkina shared her thoughts on the origins of love
for the Fatherland. Her answer brought together childhood memories, respect for
elders and a deep love for a country where people of different cultures and
traditions have lived in friendship and harmony from time immemorial.
For Nadezhda Babkina, the Motherland begins not with state
symbols or borders, but with childhood, her native home and the feeling of
unity that arises when children of other nationalities grow up alongside you,
and this does not become an obstacle but, on the contrary, shapes
responsibility and makes life richer and more interesting.
"That is why, for me, the Motherland is where we were
friends with children of completely different nationalities. We did not even
know the word 'nationality'; we simply all felt good together. We played games,
went to kindergartens and then to schools. We respected our parents and valued
their experience, love and kindness. And when you grow up, this small homeland
becomes a large one, and with it comes a more significant responsibility,"
Nadezhda Babkina said.
The National Centre RUSSIA launched the all-Russian survey "What Does the Motherland Begin With?" to hear as many stories like
this as possible: touching, personal and warmed by the light of memories. And
what does the Motherland begin with for you? Share your thoughts in our survey,
the results of which will be announced very soon, next week.
