According to local media reports, Nina Ostanina, a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, is urging Russians to start families and reproduce. In her opinion, the philosophy of Russian life should align perfectly with Vladimir Putin's preferences. After all, the ruler needs loyal subjects. The communist also has a plan to extend the year.

Nina Ostanina, head of the State Duma Committee on Family Defence and a communist, is known for supporting the values and ideas of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. According to media reports, the 68-year-old is convinced that Russians should become more involved in expanding their families.

Nina Ostanina is said to have urged her fellow citizens to support Putin's idea, which claims that the philosophy of Russian life should become the large family. The "Belsat" service quoted her words, in which Ostanina mentioned the family's year, which is soon ending.

It seems that there are three months left until the end of the family's year, but for the president, it has remained a philosophy of life. Unfortunately, these words have not been accepted as a guide to action by many in our government. We need to start creating a positive image of the family. The criteria for the national project "Family" should be based on the main indicator, success - the communist allegedly said.

In continuation of her speech, Nina Ostanina allegedly proposed that the family's year be extended to ten years and that large families should receive appropriate support.

Nina Ostanina has been a member of the Russian State Duma since December 1995. In the past, she ran in the gubernatorial elections in Russia in 1997 but without success. She also ran with the same result in parliamentary elections in the Rubtsovsk district.

Russian communist urges Russians to reproduce

In March 2022, she was placed on the sanctions list by the US Treasury as one of the 324 members of the State Duma in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. A few months later, she co-authored a bill that would prohibit "denial of family values" and promote "non-conventional sexual orientations".
