there's a lot of families start their day with morning exercises no matter what the time of yeah or whether. you think you'll know what you want to do things here. we go out in the morning to walk and run winter as start of so we can go and scrub ourselves with snow. they haven't been ill in the ages i can't remember the last time they were sick. you know the

little. old mary cheerful kids makes them different from their peers is the fact that they live with only one parent their father. single mothers are no longer an unusual phenomenon what a father devoting himself to his children is a rare occurrence for many. however in russia there are thousands of single fathers just like romans are off. the. money things that they could just muscles were just going to last when you were in the us. so the table now boyce. no breakfast in this family can start without saying grace roman became a believer after a serious illness that left him has breath from death in tries to instill his faith

in his children. we're going to do when i took the kids to my place i simply did not know what to do and i was running around like a madman i couldn't work twenty four hours at the parking lot. so i quit my job and started looking for other means of income i took up all kinds of jobs that i came across. here in our farm that the courts strip the mother of her parental rights concerning these boys some time ago. she's always drinking. and she's not my mother anymore. and she abandoned us when i took the kids she didn't do anything at all for six months she didn't call or ask after us. i spoke to her relatives about her reaction they told me she felt ok as she had more time to go out it would. be i'm lucky that.

the children don't miss their mother but they want to have one in other words they don't miss a specific person in the mob want a mother figure on talk of not the one who gave birth to them and abandoned them they just want to have a mom. already knows what a good mother should be like. she should come to my brother and me and kiss goodbye . telling us stories and hugging us so we can fall asleep. rather. tell me when. crews come here come on. two thousand kilometers east of moscow in the city of. a group of single fathers

have formed their own club. they get together to discuss many important issues they want local authorities to give more support. to be able to speak at the government level and defend our civil rights. problems however have no need for politics he's simply trying to get by with his adolescent daughters. who's already fourteen his youngest is ten over the most rebellious is twelve year old lisa. with the girls for the time being the main issue. that we see such families more and more often the most common reason is when a mother abandoned her family frequently social behavior namely alcoholism.

the second reason is sadly due to the mother's death. third which may seem quite surprising is the freedom women now have in terms of their career prospects. and. grapple with important issues kids learn to make paper cranes. when the cranes are tied to the children rushing to the street with their. how legal release are balloons into the stuff together with our cranes. was.

everyone sees the balloons fly off into the sky except for alexander pulls off he is completely blind when he told the single fathers club it was hard for them to believe him at first. they leave me everywhere here it's impossible for me to walk on land how can i and so busy. alexander stories would be similar to thousands of other single fathers if not for his eyes. a few years ago his wife left for another family shortly before the divorce the man lost his eyesight in a car accident he stayed alone with his three young daughters. says here papa. had first alexander's relatives helped him with the girls now he's learned to care for them by himself.

eager to go to have lives five hundred kilometers south of moscow in the city of course many people that know him if you. come here the largest one stop wait a minute wait don't dance. it wastes only four to five. years and then yes we keep them for me so we can eat me while the kids are in school i go in concert grass. and they come home they first have a rest and then the also go and get some grass so there is enough in the evening and for the next morning you. know how here comes our little lena from my hold up alina i was school it was ok one march did you get four out of five. what a good girl you are you know. he goes youngest daughter she's only nine years old in total going to go to have has ten children two girls and eight boys his oldest

already have families and homes of their own trying but from the moment you stepped through the front door it's obvious that a large family lives in this house. the younger children usually help their older sister in the kitchen to cook a dinner for such a big family takes a lot of time and effort. but often tells us about mom now says that she was kind and beautiful and that she helped people that mama loved us so. in two thousand and five we're expecting the child. the pregnant woman was taken to a maternity hospital but suddenly the family was shattered with terrible news the mother had committed suicide at the clinic. i started drinking i didn't go to the funeral they buried her with me. then i stopped and i simply

didn't know what to do. when one has a responsibilities a man has. to attend to both of them it was very. very difficult at the borscht. he might seem to keep. a father cannot substitute a mother it's simply impossible woman is a woman and the man is a man there's nothing to add to it because the border is more caring more affectionate more delicate. by nature and we can't do anything about it when you when you cook. him very difficult for the children to live without their mother you know they need someone to kiss them.

this is a favorite story told by. the ivan the terrible used to climb this tower to see executions on the red square. conducting excursions around red square in. the hall be. joining a says to a group on red square. this isn't a place where people get executed but rather where decrees issued by the czar were not. true. alexei raises three children alone living alongside veronica in his apartment brothers. there's also a dog a cat and a turtle look at different life animals since i was a little girl we always had a lot of cats at home when my mother worked at the pet store i often spent time

there after school i love animals very much. and her two brothers lost their mother to cancer. you know you call. me small me bernie who was raised by her mother. as for anton he remembers his mother and the older he gets the more he thinks about her future i can see it shows that when he sees his mom's picture he says it's mom and then asks why people die and the other day he asked me what's the purpose of life the boys are only six years old. alexei hired a nanny to help take care of the children she cooks for them and puts them to bed. but what if it's been two and a half years since her death anymore what do you mean women think that men can't take care of their children they always want to show how to do it they come up to us in the street and wipe their noses they gets on my nerves really do they think i

can't do it myself. another thing is that people tell me all the time that they feel sorry for me well ok thank you for facing this one day you simply find yourself all alone well fed you and you understand they have to do something you're very likely to get instant wealth around. plus you're under enormous stress. for. the sum you explain enjoying the natural world together they visit the zoo. they way about thirty. illiterate the train no one because you want to ride the train. and this is the african elephant not to be confused with the asian elephant african elephants have big ears asian ones have smaller.

which is exactly look the child is climbing up there now it's a pickle mother would say what on earth are you doing climb down immediately the police and firefighters will arrive but a father would say well it's good you're safe and sound it's good you haven't fallen down great and if a child falls down he will be happy. that's the main difference in the way men and women bring our children. this want. to believe.

thought of his children to a skating rink his eldest son to mila was already a good skater he even has help t.j. i thank you. what's your step thank you stay here i was confused because we are fond of skating and it took the older one only a couple of weeks to learn how to skate decently. he does slip he can make turns

and knows how to stop thanks come on come on her when was it is go do a quick stop her how good. i knew she was we have no contact with my ex-wife she's married to another man and has already given birth to a daughter she never calls us to reduce she's lost all interest in the kids i last saw her half a year ago asked the dealer some remembers his mother but the younger doesn't know what is up and couldn't understand why she was trying to hug him i thanked him down you go i also did you have fun. don't worry when you grow up billions. thanks thank you none of the people i know pity me this look at the see nothing extraordinary about my situation after all single mothers are quite common so

there's nothing unusual about a single father the more so that men are stronger than women. sons have persuaded him to. take them to see their mother even though that's not an easy thing to do. is to arrange to get together in the near future. when you katherine berg. family is following its usual daily routine in the morning the head of the family and his older daughter go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. although the father is blind he has no difficulty cooking meals his daughter is by his side always ready to help. out some more flour here but i steer it sometimes it feels it's getting thicker on other occasions and. if you feel resistance it means it's ready it's not just that flour. here's the milk. ok just

a little bit of no. group sometimes i can see a glimmer of light but i don't see any lights most of the time but with the situation doesn't happen much i rather worry about the kids i want them to grow up to become decent people more room or more they also asked me questions about their mother i said without mincing words your mother does not need you she abandoned you and found another man that's a lie told him. that's illegal and i come eat. of a group i know who's who when i hear their voices i learned to recognise them a long time ago well kircher. she wants to be chefs. for leno wants to be a veterinarian regular good remarkable liza is still in two minds she wants to be either a cook or a singer. we shall see how we work out the emptor. some

mothers are just not worth mentioning at all. hours wanted to send us to an orphanage of all places but our father took us away from her. i'd say fathers are more concerned about their children. i feel happy because i have to go it's a joy to know that they're with me they help me to show how the innocence found in children they are my children. before dawn breaks father of ten you go to their korea heads to the marketplace and course he takes care not to stock up on too much food even though he has so many children. i know for a fact that the kids will snatch up the best bits and leave the rest to rot then i'll have to give the leftovers to the dogs i don't want that sort of thing

happening buying too much food is a bad idea. the market vendors are all familiar with eagle they know he has many children and offer him good discounts. i'd like some of those sausages the high girls. how many do you want able do not many today. is also a jar of mayonnaise and chocolate for the kids it's just. for high people help us and may god help them yes you will be in dire poverty were not for them. like hello. when my wife died a moscow businessman bought a car for us. the outhouse has been built by a wealthy man from course i don't even know his name. but here for the working man also build the hole in the large bathroom the shower will be made later the toilet

is in order and the floor is heated i've got no idea who that wealthy man is. i also like to have the other floor put in order to make more room for the kids for the time being the place is a bit crowded through on the new york. the kids remember their mother pictures of her all over the place. i simply can't afford to let another woman live here i haven't asked the kids about their attitude never even occurs to me that i might share this home with another woman i want to with a previous because i want the children to grow up to become decent people i don't want anything artificial about them. i don't want them to cheat but to be honest in adult life the way they are now when i don't want them to tell false hoods or make wild promises showing you doing more.

some units of support becomes a playground for his kids and he's not particularly strict with them on such occasions he can devote his full attention to the children. and i'm firmly convinced that it's no use trying to shape your children the way they would like people with disability like you when they grow up therefore you'd better educate yourself that's my favorite saying. i've seen any number of parents devoting so much time and effort to raising their children in reality though the children simply mimic their parents. thoughts that if a child communicates with gentle people who are themselves outstanding individuals and the child will be like them. that they can use a great secret i'd like to disclose to all fathers is this teaching children is

a very interesting thing is that enough of a chance of but which are especially if you achieve some results like if the child learns to read or write or imitate something that you do. as the bank you are to almost put this over here or that it's just it's like organizing a business or getting a promotion or something like that it's really fascinating to realize that you can foster something and show that. your version that you'll. find a very important to make sure that kids have a broad view of the world is the bible you should be afraid of reaching out to other people with different languages or in other countries but yes if my little son is trying to climb up a hill knowing full well he'd never make it and yet he keeps trying and reaches the top this is like going to paris it's like seeing the world in a different light. whether men should allow a woman to live with the kids simply because they need

a mother by their side is the beta book in my opinion. the man woman relationship is built on other for september we're going to put it plainly supposing i allow that woman to be with her kids they will grow up and go their separate ways but i'll have to stay on with that woman the two i need that lost both very many children have grown up without the care of fathers and mothers but they're none the worse for that. romance a sort of children have come to see their mother who left them and their father a long time ago. she's brought along her daughter from her new marriage. you go to school yes. you've brought to be quite big. how are you doing yeah. how's life ok why are so quiet what did you want to ask her

how are you know we're good. how are you i am ok your ears are frozen i hope one day i said he was all smart boy. some people break up because of a clash of characters with us it was just that our temperaments may have been too much of the match we we were never given to each other. sometimes at night. i wake up and i start to cry because i remember you. like. you need to ask your father to call me and have him bring you over to me. and a mom didn't want my children to share a home with another man and call him father. that's one of the

reasons. at first it really pay me to know that they were going to be not with me but with him. but now not so much. who are the kids are better off with a man than with me it's really important that a man raises boys. when are you going to come to us again. to visit or to live with us to live. well i don't know about that. it's not up to us to decide we'll find out later we will decide that it's not all those are the obvious or do you really want me to leave my husband and child and return to your room with. work i see no reason for that we have to.

think. it's technology innovation all the developments from around russia we've got the future covered. more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images cobol has

been seeing from the streets and can attach. china operations are all day.
