Youth Voices: Values Without Borders

Family is a great pillar for every individual and for society as a whole. The value of family is a fundamental concept that encompasses many aspects of human life. Russian literature has been a mirror of Russian society and its values for centuries, and the family has always been at the center of it. Examples of family values can be found in a variety of works, «The Tale of Peter and Fevronia» is one of them. This piece of literature has become an ideal of marriage in Russian culture, and Saints Peter and Fevronia themselves are revered as patrons of family, love, and fidelity. In «The Tale of Peter and Fevronia of Murom,» family values are presented as the cornerstone of not only personal happiness, but also national prosperity.
