Russian family

What is it like the family tradition? What stories did your grandmother tell you? What is your grandfather’s name? What is the name of your great-grandfather?

         Many of the Russians cannot answer these questions. The family traditions are lost for them. A group of people who have the same name and sit together in front of a TV set is not yet a family.

         Here are family statistics in Russia. 80 per cent of women and 70 per cent of men marry by the age of 25. More than 40 out of 100 marriages end in divorce. About 50 per cent of divorcees do not want to marry again.

         Many young families have material difficulties. Thus, they have to ask for the assistance of their parents. Most young families do not want to live together with their parents after they get married but 50 per cent of them have to.

         The revival of the family should start with the revival of its traditions. The people need family shops, cafes, cinemas.

divorce – развод

divorcee – разведенный

My name is Nick. I am a first-year student. On week-days I usually get up at 7 o'clock. I make my bed, open the window and do my morning exercises. Then I go to the bathroom where I clean my teeth and wash my face. If I have enough time I take cold and hot shower. After bathroom I go back to my room where I dress and brush my hair. In 10 minutes I am ready for breakfast. I usually have a cup of tea or coffee and a sandwich for breakfast.

After breakfast I put on my coat, take the bag and go to the technical school. As I live not far from the technical school it takes me only 5 or 7 minutes to get there.
