Star matchmaker Roza Syabitova appreciated the idea of State Duma deputy Vitaly Milonov, who called for an end to celebrating Valentine’s Day in Russian schools and other government institutions.
According to the TV presenter, such a measure will not benefit society. In an interview with the Govorit Moskva radio station, she recalled that the number of divorces has increased in Russia, “the institution of marriage does not work at full capacity.”
The country’s top matchmaker opined that “touching Valentine’s Day” is “meaningless.” “Still, it is inherently related to the possibility of dating for young people, therefore, I don’t think that it needs to be canceled right away. Moreover, it still won’t work, because it will deprive young people of the opportunity to get to know each other, ”Syabitova explained.
The host of the Let’s Get Married program also noted that radical changes will not force people to stop celebrating the holiday, but, on the contrary, will increase its popularity. “If you start to ban, they will definitely promote it. This is the principle of Romeo and Juliet,” she added.
Earlier, Milonov said that there was no need to “arrange a cargo cult of well-fed Western life.” According to him, February 14 “has nothing to do with either the spiritual or cultural context of the event.”
