Flame of the Family Hearth from the RUSSIA EXPO was brought to Sakhalin Island

---

The flame was brought to the eastern borders of Russia, to Sakhalin, in the most difficult conditions - through a snow cyclone that hit the island. To keep the flame alive, members of the large Tishelovich family "refueled" the lamp several times.

The fire of the All-Russian Family Hearth, lit on January 24 at the RUSSIA EXPO as part of the Dear - Loved Ones forum, continues to spread throughout the regions of our country.

"We are very grateful that we were entrusted with such an important mission - to represent the region at the All-Russian forum. We took it with all the responsibility, participated in all the events, and fulfilled the most important task - we brought the flame safe and sound," emphasized the mother of many children Olesya Tishelovich.

The flame was brought to Stavropol by a large Cossack family of Alexander and Olga Reshetnyak, which represented the region at the forum and was among the winners of the All-Russian contest Family of the Year. The regional hearth was placed in the historical building of the registry office in the center of Stavropol, and the first couples of newlyweds have already included its visit in their wedding programs. In addition, according to the decision of the head of the region, the fire will be transferred to all registry offices in the territory of the region.

In the Ulyanovsk region, the lighting of the regional family hearth from the delivered flame took place directly during the opening ceremony of the Year of the Family. The Fakhrutdinov family brought the flame here from Kazan, and in Ulyanovsk the baton was passed on to the residents of Mordovia.

The lighting of the hearth in the Palace of Marriage in Voronezh was just as festive. Six married couples of teachers from Voronezh and districts of the Voronezh region, including Roman and Daria Babaevs, who represented the region at the International RUSSIA EXPO, were the guests of the solemn event timed to coincide with the opening of the Year of the Family in the region. Throughout the coming year, the fire of the hearth will accompany official marriage registration ceremonies.

For Yekaterinburg, the delivery coincided with the opening of the city's first family Multifunctional Center for State and Municipal Services (MFC). Its appearance is expected to make a significant contribution to strengthening the institution of the family in the region, and it was a logical decision to place the hearth on its territory.

Meanwhile, in Yaroslavl, the family hearth will be located in the building of the Assumption Cathedral. It was brought here by Elisey and Anastasia Karpovs, who had previously performed a wedding based on Yaroslavl folk traditions at the RUSSIA EXPO. They were accompanied on their trip around the region by activists of young families' clubs.

Let us remind you that the first to receive the fire were the regions of the Far East. On January 25, it arrived on the Ural land, in the Orenburg region. On the same day the flame of the main Family Hearth was delivered to Crimea - it was brought by the Kuznetsov family from the city of Saki, representing a famous dynasty, the total teaching experience of which exceeds 200 years. From Crimea, the fragments of fire went to Sevastopol and Krasnodar region. They were also delivered by car to new regions, including Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, the DPR and LPR.

The All-Russian Family Hearth is a heart-shaped installation in front of which a fire was lit from the Holy Trinity Monastery on January 24. The All-Russian Family Forum Dear - Loved Ones opened the Year of the Family in Russia, announced on the basis of the decree of President Vladimir Putin. The forum events are aimed at uniting dynasties from all over the country, dialog of generations and co-creation of children and adults.
