2008 is declared in our country by "year of a family". About a family began to speak much not only experts, but also politicians, representatives of the power. On the one hand, it like is good. For a long time it was time to begin public, versatile discussion of questions that such a modern Russian family as it is arranged on what keeps. However, on the other hand, character of the developed discussion with its monotonous appeals "to revive traditions", "morally to improve", to "forbid" etc. involuntarily causes sensation that all action is in many respects reduced to naked rhetoric. I wish to underline that I at all against revival of traditions, moral improvement or, for example, an interdiction for application of physical violence in home life. But, in my opinion, recollecting traditions or moral improvement, on business it is necessary to talk about something real-life, concrete, that is about a normal Russian family. And still - about necessity of special researches of all these plots and about formation already on this basis of corresponding recommendations how there should be relations between a present Russian family and the state. After all character of this interaction will predetermine in many respects the general trend of development of the country. World experience shows, for example, that strengthening патерналистских the state policy beginnings, and especially direct intervention of the state in sphere to "a private life", is capable to brake seriously модернизационные processes. At the same time acceptance of strictly verified social standards of life-support of citizens or orientation to such level of average wages which guarantees restoration of a labour not only the adult worker, but also its child, as a rule, provide bases for self-standing of citizens and their families. It is clear that in the first of these cases the family manages a role of the dependent who is fed up "from щедрот" the states. Why at all the family, and officials of corresponding departments, by the way, wins. And here in case of self-standing the family not only becomes stronger in itself, but also begins capable to turn to a certain natural underlying cause of a civil society or even to become its component.
Still any twenty years ago, in a Soviet period, the family was considered almost as the state component which officials could interfere with its affairs directly. And it seemed normal. Today the family is considered by our fellow citizens as institute which is out of sphere of intervention of the state and a society. On a question that the family means for them, more often they answer: "My house - my fortress". They suppose intervention of a society or the state in a private life only as a last resort - if someone from members of a family is threatened with violence if there is an infringement of human rights in a family.

But, on the other hand, a distinctive feature of present intrafamily relations - their frequency rate, temporariness. Today's marriage is considered by the basic part of our fellow citizens as "the contract for a while". Possibility of renewal of this contract, connected with divorce procedure, is realised by them both as general welfare, and as display of their personal freedom. The norm "preservations of a family for the sake of well-being of children", fastening marriages in a Soviet period today has practically ceased to operate. Sociologists with amazement have found out that hardly any else institute of the Russian life is considered now so significant expression of a personal freedom as divorce institute.
