The flame of the All-Russian Family Hearth, lit on January 24 at the RUSSIA EXPO, continues its journey through the regions of our country.

The regions of the Far East were the first to receive parts of the flame. Representatives of all subjects of the Far East Federal District received them from newlyweds Zhanna and Vladislav Fedorov-Ksenofontov from the Republic of Sakha - Yakutia.

The Orenburg region also received the flame. At the solemn event dedicated to the Year of Family and the Day of Russian Studenthood, Governor Denis Pasler handed it over to the families - winners of the regional stage of the All-Russian contest Family of the Year, as well as to newlyweds who had registered their marriage the day before. In addition, the fire will be delivered to the civil registry offices of the region. During the year newlyweds will light the first flame of the family hearth from it.

The icon-lamp of the main family hearth reached the Crimea - it was brought by the Kuznetsov family from the town of Saki, representing a famous dynasty, the total teaching experience of which exceeds 200 years. From Crimea, the pieces of the Heart of Russia went to Sevastopol and the Krasnodar region. In the republic itself, the fire will be kept in the Simferopol Marriage Palace.

"We simply admired the families of our Russia, so much courage, warmth, strength, such unity of our country is especially meaningful and very important," said Tatiana Kuznetsova from Crimea.

On January 26, the lamp with the flame arrived in Cheboksary - it was delivered by members of the large Ivanov family, several generations of which are members of the Vyikat national family ensemble. After the solemn meeting the bowl with the flame was placed in the building of the registry office of the capital of Chuvashia.

In Kirov, the ceremony of welcoming the icon-lamp was held on the same day in a significant place - at the monument to St. Peter and Fevronia of Murom in the Alexander Garden. The event was attended by the Governor of the Kirov region Alexander Sokolov, and the flame itself was handed over from the hands of the members of the already established large families of Darovsky, Isupov and Samodelkin to the newlyweds who got married that day - the families of Shestakovs, Usatovs and Bazhins.

In Nizhny Novgorod, a part of the flame was brought by the large family of Gunins, who were among the winners of the competition "Family Talent Show" at the All-Russian Family Forum Dear - Loved Ones. But the journey of the icon-lamp is not over - now it will be transferred in turn to the municipalities of the region, and the first to receive it will be one of the most ancient cities on the Volga - Gorodets.

The fire of the hearth, delivered to Penza, will also have new journeys ahead. First, the lamp will be transferred to the Center of Culture and Leisure of Penza, where a grand gala event dedicated to the start of the Year of the Family in the Penza region will be held. And then the flame will be transferred to the municipal districts - this will be done by the large Gritsenko family representing the region at the forum.

The young Kazakov family from the Samara region became famous for their cosmic marriage ceremony at the RUSSIA EXPO two months ago. And now it was the newlyweds who brought a lamp with the fire of the family hearth to the region. It was placed in the Palace of Marriages in Samara.

 On January 26, the symbol also arrived in Chita, here it was brought by Transbaikal delegates of the forum Alexander Tokarev and Yulia Sidorovich, who got married at the RUSSIA EXPO. The fire was placed in the building of the central registry office of the capital of Zabaykalsky region, and now throughout the year every couple who will register their marriage there will be able to light their family hearth from the icon-lamp.

The fire was brought to the Zaporozhye region by members of the famous labor dynasty of Sazhaevs. The flame of the family hearth is placed for safekeeping in the Young Family center, and later, on the opening day of the year of family in the Zaporozhye region, the fire will be handed over to the rector of the church of St. George the Victorious.

The capital of the Donetsk People's Republic received the lamp from the hands of a large family of Vasins, who became the winner in one of the nominations of the contest "Dynasties of Russia". The main family hearth of the DPR was lit in the Church of Saints Peter and Fevronia in Donetsk. The fire will spread to all cities and districts of the region.

The ceremony of distributing the flame of the All-Russian Family Hearth "Heart of Russia" was also held in Stary Oskol, Belgorod region. The bowl with the flame was delivered to the region by the Shevchenko couple who got married on the Belgorod Region Day. The event was also attended by young and large families and spouses with a solid record of family life.

The All-Russian Family Hearth is a heart-shaped installation, in front of which a fire that came from the Holy Trinity Monastery was lit on January 24. From this hearth the flame was transferred to 12 icon-lamps, which went to eight federal districts and four new territories (Moscow, the Republic of Crimea, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), Kuzbass, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Area, the Republic of Tatarstan, the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, the Volgograd region, the Komi Republic, the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions). Then the fire will be spread throughout all 89 regions of the country.

The All-Russian Family Forum Dear - Loved Ones opened the Year of the Family in Russia, which was announced by 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.
