Incredible speech.

Sadly, this input is likely to be almost completely incomprehensible, in the West.

One critical, relevant point was made: families are being forced to choose between money and children, apparently in Russia as well as in the West.

This is not just a question of extras, but also of essentials.

Many Western couples, have no hope of home ownership, without two incomes.

This is deliberate market manipulation in my opinion, aimed at population reduction, while indiscriminate immigration is encouraged, with massive social/moral costs.

Even when mothers would love to stay with their babies, they are usually forced to abandon them to "child care" and return to work, to enable home ownership goals.

Even schools are socially and morally dangerous environments.

Rental and high density suburban housing, are often inappropriate for raising healthy, happy children.

Nurturing healthy, happy adults too!

I noted in the introduction a mention of "dear fathers" but not "dear mothers".

Just an omission I guess.

I am 100% with Maria on this.

Wonderful, uplifting speech in defense of the family. In the west Maria would be demonized: in Russia I think her words will have been heard and will be acted upon.

Footnote: in the UK the video had a little text banner line explaining Abortion in the context of "health service". I guess that typifies the differences between neo-liberal western 'values' and Orthodox conservative Christianity. Sadly I live in the former, but look east for guidance.

"It's time for us to return to ourselves."

Amen. Sadly, this statement would be considered hate speech here in the USA. ☦️
