marriage, fatherhood and motherhood in russian society

In modern Russia (and in many other countries) there is a popular opinion that the father's role is much less important than the role of the mother. Many women are convinced that a normal family is possible without marriage, and single mothers are able to raise children in normal conditions without a father. Other mothers think that they can find for the children of his stepfather, who will care more for them than his father. Some scientists argue that the family is not destroyed, but only changes its form. From their viewpoint is the evolution in a positive direction. However by the author’s opinion, the separation of marital, maternal and paternal behavior is not positive evolution, but the destruction of the family, which fewer and worse performs the functions of reproduction and upbringing of new generations.
