"Mother-heroine" is included in the list of the highest titles in Russia. In the same row - "Hero of Russia" and "Hero of Labor". The holders of these titles enjoy preferential medical care, free treatment in sanatoriums, preferential prosthetics and the provision of medicines.

After 1973, it became possible to reward women who adopted orphans during and after the war. In particular, the order was received by Bahri Akramova, who adopted 15 children - she did not have her own. Some women received the title posthumously, such as Alexandra Derevskaya.

In America you get shamed for having the audacity to have multiple kids without being rich.

Heroine mothers were entitled to priority free housing and free public transport.

This is fantastic. A lot of mothers and grandmothers deserve medals for real pillars of families.

Real life achievement system was one of the best parts of the Soviet Union lol.

My grandma had one of these medals. She had 9 children. Her name was Nuraniya. She has lived all her life in the countryside. She was ethnically Tatar. Very hardworking woman. She worked all her life on a collective farm. Remembering her, I think, how people in the past had so much strength and energy to work at such a hard job and still raise a lot of children? I have one child, and sometimes I get so tired. One child is not easy, but 9... 😮

what a cool piece of history i would never have learned otherwise :^) ty

Time for someone to recognize the mostly unpaid labour women and mothers contribute to society. We should totally bring back medals for workers, and mothers too. Since they often do the most thankless work.

Wow, they are beautiful. I wanna see them directly.

My mom made 6 kids... my grandfather first wife made 11, ..., MAN I WISH I WAS MARRIED AND HAD 10 KIDS AT LEAST XD, in capitalism...kids are a hassle economically,

[Comrade_Uraqi]

Well-deserved
Taking part in raising 2 kids was difficult enough, I can't imagine 10
locals heroes whose names are lost to history

[deannatroiofthemyscira]

i am so conflicted about this. 10 children is a serious health hazard, meaning that a woman should be given care instead of being held up as an example for other women to follow. but also i love that reproductive labour is being acknowledged and valued. i hope all the receivers got to live a healthy life, where they were cared for and respected by their closest people.

[seeneihtnin]

Lol wish my grandma got a pension increase and a medal for raising 10 kids in the US

[thefoolonthehill]

500 000 woman times at least 10 children each !!!

[tonttu]

The song in the background giving me major nostalgia. There's a finnish cover and it was sang a lot when i was in kindergarten

[bertbaker]

Giving more money to people having kids is a good idea

[bob-lket]

are there any sources on how cultural attitudes or norms had changed after such a drastic reduction in population from WW2?, like it shouldn't be expected that people think of family or relationships as the same after 1/6th of the population is taken away, yet we never really hear of what their perspectives are, at least in the west

[shadyshrimp]

My great grandmother got the 10 children reward, so yeah, big family
