Currently, there is a steady decline in the share of large families in the population of Russia. This coincides with a tendency to the few children and childlessness in General. There is no clear system of social support of large families. There is a negative and even negative attitudes towards large families, especially with increasing atomic number of births. New pregnancy more than two or three children in the family is regarded as something out of the ordinary, as a deviation from the General rules.
Large families in the beginning of the century constituted the majority of the Russian population. They were quite common in all strata of society from the poorest of the peasantry to the nobility. This is due to the traditions of the Russian people and Orthodox morality. The birth of children was not planned, was perceived as "God's gift", was not contraceptives were not widespread abortion. In a large family it was easier to survive. The society has always been a steady positive attitude to a large family.
Currently a large family is considered a family with 3 or more children.
Hello, Ann! I was very glad to get a letter from you. Today it is the 29th of December. Soon we'll celebrate NEW YEAR. It is a great holiday in Russia. We give presents to all relatives and all friends. We decorate trees, houses, and I like walking in the street when everywhere you see beautiful decorations. It is a family holiday. I like when my family gather together, we cook differents dishes, we lay the table, we sit, watch TV and talk, we sing and dance. After midnight we go to the street we walk, dance, sing, play, it is fun! How do you celebrate New Year? Do you like it? What presents do you like to get? I wish you a happy new year and Merry Christmas and I want to tell you how you are dear to me. I have never met such a reliable and honest person as you. Happy Holidays! Bye!
