In honor of the new All-Russian holiday we present documents from our library on state family policy.
At the end of June the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin signed a decree establishing July 8 as the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity. The presidential decree states the holiday is established in order to preserve traditional family values, spiritual and moral education of children and youth.
Traditionally, on July 8 the Russian Orthodox Church celebrates the memory of Saints Peter and Fevronia who since ancient times were considered in Russia as the patrons of the family and marriage. At the state level the holiday called the "Day of Family, Love and Fidelity" was firstly held on July 8, 2008. It was organized by the Foundation for Social and Cultural Initiatives headed by Svetlana Medvedeva. Later the holiday began to be celebrated annually.
On this day we invite you to get acquainted with following documents:
