The Minister of Education of Sverdlovsk criticized women of "grandmother" age
June 4, 2026 The Minister of Education of the Sverdlovsk region, Svetlana Trenikhina, faced a wave of public disapproval after her remarks that the reluctance of young women to give birth is due to their mothers, who, in the minister's opinion, instill the wrong mindset in their daughters to first establish themselves and only then think about marriage and having children.
"We have raised a generation of 25-30 year-olds who choose careers and are in no hurry to have children. We come to the conclusion that we need to work with potential grandmothers who give these messages to their children: first finish your education, stand on your own feet. The grandmothers themselves are working and are in no hurry to take on the role of grandmothers," said Svetlana Trenikhina while speaking at the XVII Ural Demographic Forum, reports "URA.RU."
One of the levers of influence on the position of postponing motherhood, the minister named parent-teacher meetings in schools. Also, in Trenikhina's opinion, teachers should "gently and unobtrusively" talk to children about the value of large families, reports "FederalPress."
Later, explaining her message to mothers in a conversation with a correspondent from E1.RU, the minister clarified that she did not intend to place all the responsibility for the situation with low birth rates on them. But she again mentioned women who, contrary to demographic trends, do not wish to become grandmothers upon reaching "grandmother" age—50 years.
