Vice Speaker of the State Duma from the Liberal Democratic Party proposed to introduce the “Father’s card” on the example of “Pushkinskaya”

Vice Speaker of the State Duma Boris Chernyshov (LDPR) sent a proposal to the Minister of Labor and Social Protection Anton Kotyakov to create a “Father’s Card”. In his opinion, it can be introduced by analogy with the Pushkin card, so that money cannot be withdrawn for personal needs. Mr. Chernyshov proposes to allocate 2 thousand rubles. per month per child.

“I consider it important to provide conditions for a full-fledged and high-quality pastime for fathers and children,” said Mr. Chernyshov “RIA News”. In his opinion, 2 thousand rubles. enough for the father to visit the cinema, zoo, park or children’s cafe with the child. At this time, “mothers will get the opportunity they need to relax”, take time for themselves and “reboot”.

The deputy considers the role of fathers in Russia belittled. In the country, in his opinion, there is a stereotype that the mother should be engaged in education. “Disregard for dads is observed in completely different situations. As a father of two children, this state of affairs does not suit me,” added Mr. Chernyshov.

Project “Pushkin Map” implemented Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Digital and Post-Bank. It was launched on the initiative of the President on August 31, 2021 to attract teenagers and young people to the cultural life of Russia. Each card contains 5 thousand rubles, which they can spend during the year on museums, philharmonic societies, concert halls, theaters and cinemas. The balance of the card is replenished from January 1 of each year or after the first issue.
