The traditionalist party “For the Family!” was founded by Andrei Kormukhin, coordinator and founder of the Orthodox fundamentalist “Sorok Sorokov” movement, in late March 2023. The relevant documents were signed on Saturday at the party’s founding congress. The congress was reportedly attended by 300 delegates from 57 regions of the country.

The party’s political council consists of State Duma deputy Vladimir Krupennikov, military officer Anastasia Mikhailovskaya, retired Soviet general Leonid Reshetnikov, political analyst Vladimir Samoilov and journalist Anna Shafran. Legislative support for “traditional families with many children” and President Vladimir Putin is cited as the aim of political activity.
