In everyday life and in means mass media From time to time you can come across the expression “heroine mother”, but what does this expression mean? What does it take to earn this high title and how many children does the heroine’s mother have in Russia in 2019?

Basic information

To begin with, let’s make a reservation: the title “Mother Heroine”, together with the order of the same name, existed in the USSR, but in modern Russia there is no such title. If you have heard this term, then know: we're talking about either about those awarded a Soviet award, or about the colorful name of a mother of many children, which does not have an official status.

So, are awards for large families a thing of the past? Of course not. To encourage mothers in their difficult work of giving birth and raising children, there is the Order of “Parental Glory” and the medal of the Order of “Parental Glory”, which, however, are Russian analogues rather not of the “Mother Heroine”, but of the Soviet Order of “Maternal Glory” and medals of Motherhood respectively.

The first awards of the parental order in the Russian Federation took place in January 2009.

Legislation

Main legal acts regulating the status and grounds for awarding the above awards are decrees of the President of the Russian Federation. The first of them is called “On measures to improve the state award system of the Russian Federation” (numbered 1099, adopted on September 7, 2010). It contains the bulk of information about the country's award system.

Also, some information about the Order of Parental Glory, for example, about the amount of a one-time monetary incentive, is contained in decree number 775, dated May 13, 2008, “On the establishment of the Order of Parental Glory.”

Background

In the Soviet Union, the title “Heroine Mother” appeared in the summer of 1944. The country needed to make up for the severe multimillion-dollar human losses of the Great Patriotic War, and the government decided to establish a special award for mothers.

It is worth noting that this was not the first national history award for services to raising children. In 1913 in Russian Empire The insignia of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Princess Olga was established, which was to reward women for various merits, including for raising child heroes who had performed heroic deeds worthy of perpetuation.

Interestingly, the design of signs of modern parental order inspired by the aforementioned imperial insignia.

First woman to receive the award

The first award took place in the fall of 1944 - the title was awarded to Anna Savelyevna Aleksakhina, the mother of 12 children, 8 of whom fought on the fronts of World War II, which took the lives of four of them. The award ceremony took place in the Kremlin. Today, the “Mother Heroine” order number 1 is kept in the State Historical Museum, where it was given by the children of Anna Savelyevna.

There is a legend that they initially wanted to assign the first title to a communist, but among the party members they could not find a woman who would meet the requirements of the Statute.

As a result, the first recipient was Aleksakhina, who was not a member of the CPSU (b). When a commission from Moscow was supposed to visit the woman, it turned out that she was living in a barracks in terrible conditions. By order of the district committee authorities, furniture was brought to her on the eve of this visit. After the capital’s auditors left Anna Savelyevna’s village, the “gifts” were returned back to the district committee.

Nevertheless, a year later, the family of the heroine’s mother was allocated two rooms, which was a significant encouragement for the difficult post-war years.

The last decrees on awarding the order were signed in 1991. Over the entire history of its existence, about 431 thousand women had the right to decorate their breasts with a gold star on a block with the inscription “Mother Heroine”.

Under what conditions was the title awarded?

Returning to the Soviet award, it should be noted that a woman could be awarded it if a number of conditions were met:

She gave birth to and raised at least 10 children (children who were adopted are also taken into account).
Himself youngest child turned one year old.
All children are alive (children who died or went missing while performing military duty, defending public order, socialist property or saving the life of another person are also taken into account).

The recipient was awarded the order of the same name and the Certificate of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR.

How many children should there be in a family?

It must be said that in addition to the “Mother Heroine” order, there were two more Soviet awards that were awarded to mothers with many children:

Order of Mother's Glory;
Medal of Motherhood.

The Order of “Maternal Glory” had three degrees, and was awarded to mothers who gave birth and raised:

9 children – 1st degree;
8 children – 2nd degree;
7 children – 3rd degree.

The Motherhood Medal had two degrees, and was awarded to mothers who gave birth and raised:

6 children – 1st degree;
5 children – 2nd degree.

What privileges are awarded

If we talk about modern order“Parental Glory”, then in addition to the signs of the order, one of the parents or adoptive parents awarded by it receives a lump sum amount, which currently amounts to 100 thousand rubles.

In addition, modern mother-heroines receive the following preferences in the Russian Federation:

care allowance. It can be paid over a period of one and a half years. When calculating it, the woman’s earnings over the last two years will be important;
opportunity to retire early. Having reached the age of 50 years, mother of many children with at least 15 years of insurance experience can receive this benefit;
part-time;
discount on payment for services related to housing and communal services. The size of such a discount ranges from 30-50%;
discount on telephone services;
free trips to sanatoriums;
benefits related to preschool and school education. These include the right to priority admission to kindergarten, to receive three free meals a day at school and free school and sports uniforms;
free trips to cultural institutions. The latter refers to theaters, museums and cinemas;
free travel on public transport. This benefit is for families with at least five children.

Algorithm of actions

To be worthy state award In order to raise children, citizens of the Russian Federation must meet a number of conditions:

give birth (or adopt) and raise 7 children;
children must be citizens of the Russian Federation;
The 7th child must reach the age of three;
all children must be alive (children who died or went missing while performing military duty, protecting public order or saving the life of another person are also taken into account);
comply with the social plan;
monitor the health of your children;
provide children with proper education;
develop children spiritually and morally;
conform to the values of traditional marriage and set an example for other families.

Package of documents

The set of documents required to receive the order and medal of the order may change, so it is better to find out the exact information from the authority social protection population at the place of residence.

As a rule, the following is attached to the relevant petition:

certificates from organizations where the persons nominated for the award work, containing information about their length of service and positions held;
an award sheet containing information about marriage registration, place of residence and employment of persons nominated for an award;
information from the guardianship and trusteeship authorities about the living conditions of children in the family;
information about the achievements of family members - state or sports awards, certificates for success in studies or extracurricular activities;
adoption documents;
coordination with various authorities, including education, health and social protection authorities;
intelligence law enforcement agencies on maintaining public order.

Such an impressive package of documents should remove all doubts about whether the family is worthy of being awarded an honorary order. For the award process, it will be important to establish that the children of the recipients not only live in appropriate conditions, receive food and medical care, but also develop comprehensively.

What does a medal look like?

The medal of the Order of “Parental Glory” is similar to the order in terms of the grounds for awarding, with the exception of the number of children born and raised - 4 in the case of the medal.

The Order of Parental Glory and its medal have an important difference from their Soviet counterparts - it is awarded to both parents, and not just the mother, moreover, the male and female insignia of the order and medal are different. In the case of an order, the recipients are also given a badge that is not intended to be worn on clothing. It is expected to have a place of honor in the home of an exemplary family.

Who can't claim

Parents cannot apply for the above awards:

who have a criminal record;
who have ever been deprived of parental rights;
whose rights in relation to children were limited;
who gave at least one of their children to state support.

At the first stage, local authorities or the social security authority decide on nomination for award. This is done by special commissions, which, after one month, send the submission for approval to the head of the subject of the Russian Federation. He, in turn, approves it, sending it for consideration by the President of the Russian Federation.

Russia, becoming the legal successor Soviet Union, for some reason I immediately forgot about mothers of many children and really remembered it relatively recently, when faced with a demographic crisis called “Women don’t want to give birth,” caused, first of all, by the difficult economic situation. The “Mother Heroine” was replaced by the Order of Parental Glory, awarded, unlike its Soviet counterpart, to both parents. Another difference between “Slava” is that it is awarded to families with not ten, but four children. And, most importantly, it is complemented by not the most serious, according to experts, benefits and allowances.

Thus, when supporting several children, their parents have the right to pay 50% of the amount utilities and, for the extraordinary installation of the latter, for reducing the amount of taxation of income, for earlier retirement (albeit, subject to the development of a certain length of service), for saving for mothers length of service. For children there is a 50% discount on kindergarten fees, free travel on municipal public transport, free treatment and examination in public medical institutions, free summer holiday in children's camps and some privileges when entering universities. Which, given modern realities, often remains on paper. True, regions have their own assistance programs. For example, in the Altai Territory, parents do not have to pay to purchase medications intended for use in pharmacies. Children from such families also have priority rights to admission to a country holiday camp.

Will “Mother Heroine” be brought back?

In 2013, the State Duma of the Russian Federation began to consider a bill providing for the restoration of the title and order of “Mother Heroine” in Russia. The document, in particular, stipulates that the main basis for their delivery will be the presence in the family of at least five children aged from one to five years. And the benefits will have to become, according to one of the authors of the bill, Mikhail Serdyuk, no less significant than those in the Soviet Union.

Started with the letter "A"

The heroic title and the order attached to it appeared in the USSR on July 8, 1944, almost a year before the end of the Great Patriotic War. Having irretrievably lost millions of men, most of whom were young, the country then also found itself on the edge of a demographic abyss. The way out could be to stimulate Soviet women give birth as often as possible, including providing them with serious social benefits. And in the fall of 1944, the first 14 mothers who gave birth and raised at least ten children were awarded in Moscow.

It is symbolic that the order number 1 was awarded to a woman whose first and last name began with the letter “A” - Anna Aleksakhina, a resident of the Moscow region, the mother of 12 children. Eight sons of Anna Savelyevna became participants in the Great Patriotic War, half of them did not return home. Subsequently, Aleksakhina’s order was transferred by her children to the State Historical Museum. By the way, at the same time with the Order of “Mother Heroine”, two more awards appeared for Soviet women with many children - the Medal of Motherhood (for the birth of five or six children) and the Order of Maternal Glory (from seven to nine).

"Seven Simeons"

In addition to their own children, including those killed or missing during hostilities, service in the army or police, when saving a person’s life or who died due to occupational illness and work injury, the state also took into account those whom their mothers adopted. The Soviet government should be given its due; it strictly fulfilled its material obligations. All women awarded the title “Mother Heroine” were allocated separate multi-room apartments in cities or houses in rural areas, monthly cash benefits were paid. And their children had the opportunity to receive free good education and profession.

At one time she was not deprived of state attention, for example, musical family Irkutsk Ovechkins. The heroic mother, Ninel Sergeevna, who headed it, single-handedly raised 11 children who created the family ensemble “Seven Simeons,” famous almost throughout the Union. That, however, did not prevent them, almost in full force, from committing a particularly dangerous crime and trying to hijack a civilian plane abroad.

Historians claim that the last awards to Soviet mothers were presented to Soviet mothers in November 1991 by the president of the fading USSR, Mikhail Gorbachev. However, in Russian media From time to time, materials are published that provide a completely unique and not very plausible-looking fact that in the early 90s, another person was rewarded with the Order of Mother Heroine. Moreover, a man named Veniamin Makarov, who raised in his Yekaterinburg four-room apartment, received in the form of a state benefit, several dozen adopted boys from the street and from orphanages. By the way, Makarov is now suing one of them over this apartment.

In 1944, it became clear to everyone that the outcome of the war was predetermined, and it would end with the victory of Soviet weapons. But over the course of several years of the Second World War, a lot of our fellow citizens, mostly men, died. To encourage women who support and raise several children, the Government of our country has established several awards. Among them is the Order of “Mother – Heroine”.

The establishment of the order took place on 07/08/1944 by Decree of the PVS. Simultaneously with the order, the honorary title “Mother Heroine” appeared. This highest rank in the Soviet Union, which was given to women who had many children.

Appearance of the order

The design of the sign was developed by the artist I. Ganf. The award is made in the form of a convex 5-pointed star made of gold. Behind it are diverging rays that form a 5-pointed star. They are made of silver. These parts are connected to each other using three rivets.

The sign has a figured block. It is made of silver. Its surface is covered with scarlet enamel. It says "Heroine Mother" in gold capital letters. The edges of the block are gilded. For fastening to clothing, a pin clip is provided on the back of the shoe.

The order weighs approximately 17.56 grams. There is about 4.5 grams of 950 gold in it. The height of the award with the block is 4.6 cm.

Who was the medal for?

The title “Heroine Mother” is the highest degree of distinction for Soviet women. It was awarded to mothers who gave birth and raised at least 10 children. It was possible to receive the title only after the youngest child turned 1 year old. The condition is that other children must be alive at this moment.

When making a decision on awarding a title, children were also taken into account:

Adopted in accordance with current legislation.
Those who died a brave death or went missing while defending the interests of the Soviet state.
Those who fulfilled their duty as a Soviet citizen and saved a person from death, etc.

Women awarded the title “Mother Heroine” simultaneously received the Order of the same name “Mother Heroine”, as well as the PVS Certificate.

The award was supposed to be worn on the left.

How the order appeared

In the history of our country, an order for women who raise large number children was introduced for the first time. This was due to the fact that the Second World War claimed many lives, mostly young men. The population has decreased significantly. The appearance of such an honorary title indicated that the state needed a new generation of youth.

The appearance of government awards for women with many children indicated that the problem of raising children in the USSR was placed on a par with the most important state merits. This significantly increased social status mothers, showed that society treats them with care and respect.

The title was first awarded on October 27, 1944. In accordance with the Decree of the PVS, 14 Soviet women received it. Order No. 1 was received by A. Aleksakhina, who managed to raise 12 children. It was originally planned to award the first order to a female member communist party. But women with many children rarely joined the CPSU, so the Government was forced to look for a candidate among non-party members. She received the Aleksakhin Order on November 1, 1944 in the Kremlin.

Until the beginning of 1995, over 430 thousand women became heroine mothers. IN last time in the Soviet Union, the award took place on November 14, 1991.

The couple had 15 children. However, not everyone managed to survive. The first girl was scalded with boiling water and died. The twin boys were stillborn. Only 10 children survived. Among them are 9 boys and one girl.

The eldest of the children, Sasha, was shot by the White Guards in 1818 because the family helped the Red Army. The second son, Nikolai, went to the front soon after the start of the Second World War and was wounded several times. He returned from the war as an invalid. Died of wounds in 1963.

This honorary title appeared in the Soviet Union, in a rather difficult time - in 1944. At that time, the country was still fighting Hitler’s hordes, but the leadership was already thinking about restoring the economy. Taking into account the enormous casualties among the civilian population, stimulating the birth rate was undoubtedly a priority Soviet power for the long term. The leaders of the USSR realized with this obviousness - large families should become a model for other citizens.

In particular, the government then decided to award the honorary distinction “Mother Heroine” to those women who gave birth to and raised more than ten children during their lives. At the same time, one candidate was nominated from each union republic. Throughout the entire post-war period, until the collapse of the USSR, more than 430 thousand women received this order, and with it the title.

The status of the heroine’s first mother belongs to Anna Aleksakhina, who raised 12 children and lived in the village of Mamontovka. She was presented with the well-deserved award on November 1, 1944, directly in the Kremlin Palace.

How are things currently?

Until 2008, the Russian government did not encourage mothers of many children. At the same time, in certain federal subjects such women were nominated for other awards.

But the problem was that none of the insignia offered any special benefits, which large families desperately need. In addition, the awards could not reflect the main achievement of a woman and did not endow her with a high rank.

But ultimately, legislators decided to introduce Russian analogue Soviet order. As a result, women with many children began to be awarded the “Parental Glory” badge. To a certain extent, the introduction of such a practice was due to the fact that in the country since the collapse of the USSR, a rather alarming trend in demography had developed - the birth rate was falling and, consequently, the population was declining. Letting everything take its course would be disastrous, because it could put an end to the country’s development prospects.

How many children should a heroine mother raise?

In 2008, the authorities decided to award the honorary title to women who raise 7 or more children. At the same time, it is indicated in the statute for the insignia that they do not necessarily have to be relatives.

Along with the award, certain benefits are also expected to be provided.

Preferences, it should be noted, quite often differ in different regions Russian Federation. In particular, in some regions large families are provided with:

discount on utility bills of 30 percent or more;
the right to free use of public transport;
the opportunity to enroll your child in kindergarten without waiting in line;
tax exemption when starting your own business;
interest-free loans for business development;
certain favorable conditions when building a house.

Nevertheless, the main type of help available to everyone without exception is undoubtedly maternity capital. These funds allow the parent to provide support for the children, improve living conditions, etc.

Award procedure

First of all, it is worth noting that both parents can now be awarded the above-mentioned order, since it is quite obvious that not only the mother, but also the father takes part in the upbringing of the younger generation.

The award, by the way, implies the payment of a one-time benefit in the amount of 50 thousand rubles - this money will also not be superfluous in a large family.

Meanwhile, not all parents with seven children or more are eligible to apply for the award. There are a number of requirements for them. They must, in particular:

form a socially responsible family;
lead a correct lifestyle;
take care of children's health;
their education;
ensure their development both in the moral and spiritual spheres;
set an example for others in nurturing and adhering to the values of traditional marriage.

Parents become eligible to receive the order after their fourth child turns 3 years old, but the other children must be alive. At the same time, the state also takes into account dead or missing sons and daughters if this happened to them at a military post or while performing a civilian or official duty.

The only problem is that applicants for the honorary title will need to collect a lot of documents to confirm their compliance with the criteria specified in the award statute.

This strictness of the requirements is explained quite simply - the state does not consider it possible to reward or encourage parents who give birth to offspring but do not take care of them in any way. Such irresponsible citizens deserve censure rather than reward.

However, not everyone manages to collect the necessary papers, since parents with many children have very little free time.

State support for large families

In 2016, the federal government introduced several new benefits for this category of citizens. In particular, it was decided:

compensate for the costs of heating housing that does not have central heating;
reimburse kindergarten expenses in the amount of 20 to 70 percent;
reduce the cost of travel on suburban vehicles by 50 percent.

In addition, the state is ready to pay in full:

feeding children twice a day school age, and students under 18 years of age;
uniforms and sportswear;
medicines for children under 6 years of age;
excursions to museums (no more than once a month).

At the same time, parents are allowed to receive additional or basic education at preferential terms, and as a result, increase your level of well-being by changing your occupation to a more profitable one.

How many children does the heroine's mother have? What privileges does the family receive?

Over the past few years, the role of women in modern world has changed significantly. Today she can be a politician, an astronaut, the owner of a large company - it all depends only on her desire. However, almost every girl still dreams of becoming a mother. Despite the difficult financial and social conditions in the country, in many families husband and wife decide to raise more than one child. How many children must the heroine mother give birth to in order to receive this honorary status?

The tradition of the honorary title of mother-heroine originated in Soviet era. In this way, the authorities tried to influence the birth rate in the country, promising certain benefits and privileges to those who dared to take such a serious step. The order to present the corresponding medal was signed in the summer of 1944. To obtain it, it was necessary to give birth and raise at least 10 children. At the same time, there was one more mandatory condition: the youngest child must be one year old, all other children in the family must be alive.

For the calculation, it is also taken into account how many children the heroine’s mother adopted. Among other things, if one of the older children died in the performance of military duties or is listed as missing for the same reasons, he is also taken into account when awarding the mother with a medal and rank.

What other medals and orders are provided for heroine mothers?

Now that we know how many children the mother-heroine has, it will be necessary to mention other honorary titles. Thus, the motherhood medal was awarded to women who gave birth and raised more than 5 children. There were several degrees of this order or medal; they were awarded depending on the number of children in the family. Briefly, the scheme invented by the Soviet government looked like this:

5 children - second degree medal;
6 children - first class medal;
7 children - order of the third degree;
8 children - second degree order;
9 children - first degree order.

New initiative of Russian deputies

Unfortunately, this good tradition has been forgotten. IN modern society a large number of children, housekeeping and home improvement became a very unpopular activity. However, over time, we return to many correct values, including this one. People first started talking about reviving this good tradition in 2013. IN State Duma A bill was submitted to the Russian Federation for consideration on the need to revive the honorary title - the title of "Mother Heroine". How many children must be born and raised today to receive such a great honor? Deputy Mikhail Serdyuk, the initiator of the return to traditions, believes that this requires the following conditions to be met:

have at least 5 children;
the age of the youngest is from one year, the oldest - up to 8 years.

The first mother-heroine in the USSR

It should be recalled that the last real order was awarded on November 14, 1991. According to dry statistics, over the years of the existence of this unique title, it has been awarded to more than 430 thousand women who have accomplished the great feat of motherhood. One of the most famous mothers was the first woman to be awarded an honorary order. Her name was Aleksakhina Anna Savelyevna. All her life she lived in the tiny village of Mamontovka, not far from the capital. In total, Anna Savelyevna had 12 children, 4 of whom died during the Great Patriotic War, defending the borders of their Motherland. At the moment, this first order has been transferred by the relatives of the heroine’s mother to the State Historical Museum and is available for viewing to everyone in the numismatics department.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union in Russia, as in many other republics, honorary titles, orders and medals were no longer issued. Instead, mothers with many children were awarded the Order of Friendship or the medal “For Services to the Fatherland”, but all these awards did not reflect main point, feat and labor accomplished by hundreds and thousands of Russian women.

Revival of correct traditions

The revival of worthy traditions in our country began only in the 21st century. The prerequisite for this was the establishment of the Order of Parental Glory for Russian parents with many children. What is fundamental difference between the new award established under President Medvedev and the previous title? How many children must the mother-heroine give birth to be considered as such in this case? According to the new conditions, the order is awarded to both parents - both mother and father - if there are 4 or more natural or officially adopted children in their family. Additionally, such a married couple can count on receiving a certificate and a financial sum of 50 thousand rubles at a time.

Appearance of the new order

However, this information does not answer the question of how many children the mother-heroine must have to receive such an honorable status. Families where parents are raising more than 7 children are also awarded the honorary badge of the new order. It is unique and stylish appearance. Yes, it represents a cross blue color, on which the coat of arms of the Russian Federation is located.

What benefits have been and will be provided?

In the Soviet Union, information about how many children the mother-heroine had was extremely important, because in addition to honorary titles, the holders of this title could count on a significant improvement in their living conditions. Thus, many women received separate spacious housing, as well as financial benefits. There is no similar scheme, debugged in a similar way, in the Russian Federation. However, certain benefits are assigned mothers of many children and our country, Russia. The heroine mother has to give birth to how many children to be able to take advantage of them? The exact answer to this question no, it is determined depending on each specific benefit or benefit. So, get in kindergarten Children from families with three or more children may be out of turn. In general, the list of privileges includes:

discount on utilities (depending on the region);
trips to camps and resorts.

Programs for state support large families are constantly being modernized. Thus, it is planned to provide:

benefits of various levels;
benefits for receiving higher education for children;
reducing the cost of paying for utilities (in those regions where there is no such subsidy yet);
provision of minibuses, land plots and much more.

How many children should the heroine's mother have to receive all these benefits? at the moment not specified.

Mother-heroine in the CIS countries

The tradition of awarding such honorary titles has been preserved since Soviet times in Ukraine. Thus, in this country the title “Mother Heroine” is still awarded. How many children in 2013 were able to benefit from such social support! A similar policy is followed in Belarus. Women who give birth to 5 or more children are awarded the title "Heroine Mother". How many children of 2014 can count on such support, and how will it be expressed? So, as already mentioned, a woman must have 5 or more children to receive the honorary title. For all children, a regular general allowance is issued, totaling about 700,000 rubles in local currency; in terms of dollars, this amount looks much less significant and amounts to only 80 dollars. However, heroine mothers can also count on one-time support from President Lukashenko in the amount of 2.5 million Belarusian rubles. An honorary order is also a pleasant bonus.

Mother of the heroine: how many children should the mother of the heroine have

Today, the status of mother of the heroine is assigned to women who have raised ten or more children. It is worth noting that at the time of obtaining the status, the youngest child in the family must be at least one year old.

Comments

As for me, for every child his mother is a heroine, and it doesn’t matter whether he has 9 brothers and sisters or not. The main thing is what kind of mother. And in our time, anyone who has given birth to at least one can be called a mother-heroine.

Raising children has always been difficult, both physically, mentally and financially. And now it’s even more so. Therefore, you should not rely only on government help.

How many children are given the title “Heroine Mother”?

How many children should a “heroine mother” have?

The title, and at the same time the Order of Mother Heroine, is awarded to a woman who has given birth to and raised 10 or more children. Moreover, they will present the order and assign the title when the youngest child turns one year old, and the rest of the children are alive (this is a cynical condition that has existed since the times of the USSR, as if when one of the children dies, the woman will be a heroine to a lesser extent, complete nonsense).

And user iulianiy correctly noted in her answer that a medal is awarded for 5 children, but this is not a medal for the heroine, it is a Motherhood Medal, which comes in two degrees and is awarded - 2nd degree for 5 children, 1st degree for 6 children born.

Medal of Motherhood 1st degree

As of 1995, there were approximately 13.5 million women in Russia who had mothers with this medal.

Women who gave birth and raised seven, eight and nine children are awarded the Order of Maternal Glory, which has 3 degrees. The order (like the medal) was issued in the USSR from 1944 (until 1995 exactly); I don’t know what it is now.

As of 1995, 5.5 million women in Russia were awarded Orders of Motherhood.

Order of Mother Heroine for 10 or more children. The number of children also includes legally adopted children.

As of January 1, 1995, approximately 431 thousand women were awarded this order. I knew one of the heroine mothers personally - in my building there lived a woman who had 7 of her own and 5 adopted children. I don’t know what subsidies and benefits they were entitled to, but they were the owners of two apartments on the site, which they connected to each other.

In Soviet times, the title of “Mother Heroine” could be obtained for 10 children, but subject to several conditions, the eldest child had to be one year old, and all the other nine children had to be alive at the time of the award (in my opinion, the conditions are very cynical ). With the collapse of the USSR, this title officially disappeared; the issue regarding this title and the benefits accruing to it is now being resolved.

Now in Russia there is an award, the Order of Parental Glory, for four children or more.

For three children (as the authors who are probably “wise” with experience write in the answers) “Mother-Heroine” was never given, I’ll tell you from a personal example, I have three children and the question of Mother-Heroine was never raised, because it’s not supposed to.

The highest title for mothers of many children, “Mother Heroine,” was established on July 8, 1944. From that time until the collapse of the USSR, this title and the award of the order were awarded to mothers who gave birth to 10 children. But only after last child was one year old, and nine others were alive at that time.

With the collapse of the USSR, the title of Mother Heroine became a thing of the past.

Only in 2009 they began to award the Order of Parental Glory. It is awarded for four children plus a one-time benefit in the amount of 50 thousand rubles.

Since 2013, in the State Duma of the Russian Federation, our deputies have been deciding the issue of reviving the title “Mother Heroine,” but until now they have not been able to resolve the issue. They probably can't agree on benefits.

My niece has three children and she was given the title of mother - heroine. As far as I know, such an honorary title was previously given to women who gave birth to five children. Now, of course, they are sympathetic to the work of a mother raising many children.

Previously, the title of mother-heroine was given only for five children, but in modern times, when it is considered that one or two children is the norm, the title of mother-heroine is given for three children.

And although three children should be the norm.

my mother has a mother heroine medal, she was given it only after her fifth child.

In Ukraine, the honorary title “Heroine Mother” is awarded by the President of the Republic to a woman who has given birth to five or more children. An important condition is the education of these children until the age of eight.

In the USSR, the title “Mother Heroine” was very honorable. It was assigned to a woman who gave birth and raised 10 children (all must be alive, the youngest must be one year old).

In Russia, deputies want to renew the title "Mother Heroine".

The title is undoubtedly very honorable for any woman; a mother heroine can be received by a woman if she gives birth to three or more children. Previously, it was 5 children, but with a decrease in the birth rate, they decided to lower this threshold to three children. But in addition to the title, you also need respect for such mothers, which, unfortunately, they lack in everyday life, both from citizens and from the state.

In the Soviet Union, the title “Heroine Mother” was given to ten or more children. But a lot has changed since then. Now this title has been abolished, but instead it is awarded the Order of Parental Glory. Both parents who have four or more children receive it. Issued along with the order cash prize and a diploma. If there are more than seven children, then they also give a miniature copy of the order and its sign.

For some reason, today not everyone is given the title

Not because they don’t want to, but because not all mommies apply for a reward

Previously, a reward was given for 5 children

Now times have changed and three children is already a real feat

The Duma wants to return this tradition

But the review is still ongoing and it may last for years (as always)

The “Mother is a Heroine” badge is not given in Russia, although they want to revive this tradition. The last title "Mother - Heroine" was given on November 14, 1991 in the Soviet Union.

This honorary title and badge was given back in the Soviet Union, provided that the woman has 10 children by the time she reaches the last 1 year and all are alive.

In our time, a heroine's mother should give for three children.

How many children should a heroine mother have?

Mother heroine - how many children must a woman have to receive this honorary title? About how many children heroine mother you need to have in order to be considered a “heroine of our time”, where to apply to obtain this status and what awards she can count on, we will tell you in our article.

Do the title “Mother Heroine” and the Medal of Motherhood exist?

Let's first look at the question of how many children is the mother heroine must have to receive such an honorary title and is it even awarded at the present time? We answer: today such a title does not exist in our country.

During the existence of the Soviet Union, this title was awarded to mothers of large families who raised 10 or more children - at the same time, at the time of assigning the title, the youngest of the children had to be at least 1 year old, and all other children had to be alive. At the same time, there were such awards as “ Motherhood Medal"and the orders "Mother Heroine" and "Maternal Glory".

If we talk about the origins of these awards and honorary titles, it should be noted that the period of their birth fell during a difficult period for the entire country - the Great Patriotic War. The country was experiencing a difficult demographic situation, and this became one of the ways to encourage women who are so hard time kept their children.

There is now talk of reviving the title of “Heroine Mother” and providing a number of benefits to women awarded it. A bill “On the establishment of the honorary title “Mother Heroine of the Russian Federation” has already been developed.” In accordance with the provisions of this bill, women awarded the title “Mother Heroine of the Russian Federation” are proposed to be given benefits in the amount of 1 to 7 living wages(depending on the number of children), provide benefits for utility bills and provide financial assistance when children enter higher education educational institutions. In addition, the state proposes to provide such families with cars and land plots, as well as provide assistance in obtaining a loan for the purchase of housing.

The condition for conferring the title, and, accordingly, receiving state assistance, is that a woman has 10 or more living children (the youngest of them must be at least 1 year old). In addition, all children must have Russian citizenship.

It should be noted that Russian legislation does not share the rights of natural children and adopted children, so even families in which all the children (or some of the children) were adopted will be able to receive the title and financial assistance.

Is the order/medal “Maternal Glory” issued?

Such an award as the order/medal “Maternal Glory” is also not awarded today, since it was introduced during the existence of the Soviet Union. But this does not mean at all that large families are not encouraged in any way and the state does not pay attention to them: instead of the mentioned award, the medal of the Order of Parental Glory was introduced.

The medal of the Order of Parental Glory is awarded to families who have raised or are raising 4 or more children. Today this is the analogue Motherhood medals. It should be said that not only those children who were born into the family are taken into account, but also those who were adopted. In this case, the youngest child at the time of presentation of the order must be at least 3 years old, all children must be alive. The exception is cases of death of children during the performance of their labor duties, in connection with their service or the performance of their civic duty, as well as other cases provided for by law.

It is also important to note that only those families who have provided their children with harmonious intellectual, physical, cultural, spiritual and moral development, lead a healthy and socially adapted lifestyle, serve good example strengthening the institution of family and raising children.

For similar services in strengthening the institution of the family, they are also awarded the Order of Parental Glory. Moreover, there are 2 forms of the order: for men and for women.
