Putin revealed the formula of love

Russian President Vladimir Putin revealed the "formula of love" that underlies all traditional values.

The head of state is holding a video conference meeting on Thursday with large families from different regions of Russia. These are parents who have been awarded the "Parental Glory" orders, as well as mothers who have been honored with the title "Hero Mother."

"One of the participants of our meeting today very beautifully formulated her attitude toward children and toward those children who appear in the family, toward the youngest children. She said: 'How did we live without you?', thinking about newly arriving children in the family. This is just an amazingly beautiful 'formula of love' - both for children and for members of one's large family in general, and for people. This wonderful 'formula of love' - 'How did I live without you?' - underlies not only our large families but all of our traditional values," Putin said.
