The Woman of Russia will be chosen at the Chorus Hall of the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow on December 15. The contest started in 2010. It is aimed at supporting the family, a truly strong family, and promoting family values, Eduard Grekov, head of the Fund for Support of Family and Chairman of the organization committee of the contest, said.

Organizers of the contest hope that the project will be of interest to youth and will promote family values. "It is important for girls to understand the values of maternity, the value of the family, to understand that a woman must first of all realize herself in this sphere and then think about a career," Grekov believes. This is why winners will get a golden statue, representing a woman with three children with a motto written "Will, love, wisdom". "Will - is the divine wisdom, love and wisdom are words clear for everyone," Grekov says. Organizers say that the statue brings joy, fortune and family welfare. The contest consists of two tasks. Firstly, a woman needs to speak about herself and her family. Secondly, she sings together with a well-known celebrity.

"Any woman giving birth is doing a great job for her country," Alla Medvedeva, winner of the contest Woman of Russia 2010, a mother of 22 kids, said. "I often face misunderstanding, I am asked why I have so many children. But who will feed us when we get old? Children of mothers from large families. They will support those who did not give birth. It is a tragedy when you have no children, I always encourage our country to be filled with children's laughter. I hope the project will be a success. I would like to draw the attention of the public and the government to this contest, to gain support for such projects. Mothers of large families are given little attention today," she says.

Writer Yelena Lenina has expressed her view: "A woman must realize herself in three images - as a mother, a wife and a professional. The three images are very important because a woman cannot be happy without children, or without a beloved man or if she sits at home managing the household only".

"My family is my life, even if I miss out certain career opportunities I do not worry about it much," singer Varvara says. "It is a blessing when you return home and are waited for, it is a blessing when you expect a phone call from your daughter."

Singer Marina Khlebnikova believes that the contest should remind young people about the value of the institution of the family, the attention paid to music is important too, because it may prompt the heart of a lovedone . "I fully support the project Woman of Russia, I am glad I will be part of the project and stay on the stage with amazing women," Khlebnikova said.

Russian People's Artist Renat Ibragimov notes that it is necessary to respect the family structure, respect the elderly and be kind to children. People in the Caucasus understand this especially well, which is why there are no homeless children there, he believes. "It is good when a man has many children, thinks about them, cares for them, when he has a life, when he does good deeds for his family and the country," Ibragimov says.
