The idea of ​​paying fathers half a million rubles for the first child and a million for the second was not accepted by everyone.

According to surveys conducted by sociologists, only about forty percent of Russian women are not against such an innovation. The others believe that those who have given birth should rely on money.

And in the State Duma itself, a number of deputies spoke out against paternal capital. In their view, first, indeed, a certificate should be issued for those who have given birth, given birth and, for the most part, brought up.
