As a gift to women for March 8th, I introduced two more bills from the package of measures to promote involved and responsible fatherhood in Russia:

- 14 days of paid paternity leave after the birth of a child. Because after the birth, the husband should be there to help with care and protect against postpartum depression.

- An improved version of the Law on Joint Parenting After Divorce. A child's rights to a father and mother should be reliably protected, and every woman should have the opportunity for a career and self-fulfillment even after divorce.

I don't know which party's success in the elections our commander Zakhar Prilepin should contribute to, but I will do everything possible to ensure involved and responsible fatherhood becomes a key point of the party's platform.

PS. In the package of bills in the Duma, I have already introduced an initiative requiring mandatory notification of a husband about plans for an abortion. Because fatherhood begins even before the child is born.
