The headquarters of the Fathers of Russia is formed in Arkhangelsk

In November last year, at the 4th Regional Forum of the Fathers, held in the Nyndoma, the idea of ​​creating a paternal movement in Russia in the Arkhangelsk region for the first time sounded.

Such a wish was expressed in their welcoming letters to the human rights Internet community of the Fathers of Russia and the Council of the Fathers of the city of Azov, the chairman of which-A. A. Petrov-in particular, said: “I believe that it has come to us, individual organizations existing in the field, unite and create a unified All-Russian movement of fathers and attract as many fathers as possible. The city of Arkhangelsk, with such support from the regional administration, may become the headquarters of the paternal movement. ”

The “Council of Fathers of the city of Azov” was created in December 2012, by decision of the initiative group of the fathers of the city. Azov fathers took the experience of the Council of Fathers of the Arkhangelsk Region as the basis of their work.

In 2013, with the support of the “Council of Fathers of the Arkhangelsk Region”, the “Council of Fathers” of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug and the “Council of Fathers” in the Irkutsk region were created, and the first steps began to be carried out in Nizhny Novgorod in the creation of a male organization.

In January 2014, in the city of Buy of the Kostroma region, the “Council of Fathers” was created for the first time in the region. Thirteen dads included there: employees of enterprises, representatives of public associations and educational institutions (the Council of Fathers of the Arkhangelsk Region was originally also consisted of 13 men). Recently, this organization went to the “Council of Fathers of the Arkhangelsk Region” with a request to share experience.

And the other day, Sergei Grigoryev contacted our fathers - one of the initiators of the creation of the “Council of the Fathers” of the city of Zheleznogorsk: “... we are only at the beginning of the journey and are very guided by your experience.” The first tips from the Arkhangelsk fathers have already been received, we think that the Zheleznogorsk residents will succeed!

PS When the material was already written, fathers from the “Council of Fathers of the Baltasinsky District” of the Republic of Tatarstan (they were on the forum of the fathers in the Nyandom) called and shared good news - in Tatarstan the Father - Responsible Position forum will soon be held in Tatarstan, the example of which was our regional forum of fathers with the same name.

Esipov A.N. - Chairman of the "Council of the Fathers of the Arkhangelsk Region"

“The idea of ​​creating an all -Russian paternal organization was born back in 2009, when we just started working. This idea was born in communication with the “Council of the Fathers of the Ulyanovsk Region”, which then worked very actively in Russia. But we decided not to rush, but first to gain experience in our region, with which then one could reach other constituent entities of the Russian Federation. So it turned out over time - we began to write, call and ask for advice on how to start working. I think the time has come to create a single center of the paternal movement. It can be called the headquarters, it can be an association of the Fathers of Russia, and if such an honor falls out to our city, then as a patriot of its region, I will only be proud of this. ”
