The State Duma deputy suggested leaving boys with their fathers after the divorce

State Duma Deputy Dmitry Kuznetsov ("Fair Russia – For the Truth") He believes that after a divorce, boys should be left with their fathers to ensure a "male" upbringing.

"If we don't change the situation with fertility, if we don't change the situation with divorce, and these are all related things, then we will simply die out. We can't let that happen. It is necessary to act. Either adopt the world practice of joint custody, or follow our special, civilizational path - leaving boys with their fathers. Of course, if the father is ready, if the father wants," Kuznetsov told RIA Novosti. According to Kuznetsov, earlier, when the boy grew up in a full family, he saw the example of a man in front of him, learned to take responsibility, be courageous, be a defender of his family and homeland, and now, when more and more boys receive "female education", since most children are raised only by women, and the younger generation it is extremely difficult to become strong, responsible men.

"There are two options for how to provide boys with male education even in case of divorce. The first option, which is now being joined by one country after another, I will not even call Western, is such a global trend, the so-called "joint custody"... Perhaps this option will suit us, but we must understand that we still have a special civilization. And when we try to do something for our native country, we need to build on the basis of our traditional spiritual and moral values. The Russian tradition is that from a certain age the boy switched to the "half of the father". We must remember her," the State Duma deputy said.If boys stay with their fathers after the divorce, this will be a strong incentive for both fathers and mothers to preserve the family, Kuznetsov believes, since family is work, and it is necessary to invest time and effort in relationships. "My wife and I have been together for 20 years, it's obvious to me. And without motivation, people do not try," the parliamentarian added.

In conclusion, Kuznetsov stressed that currently, after the divorce, the father is disenfranchised in terms of participation in the upbringing of a child, and it is necessary to ensure equal rights for fathers and mothers for the sake of the younger generation, our families, our wives and our whole country.
