Vitebsk residents Marina and Denis Kulakov became the best large family in the region

Витебчане Марина и Денис Кулаковы стали лучшей многодетной семьей области
Six contenders participated in the regional stage of the competition among large families of the Vitebsk region: two families from Vitebsk and one each from Beshenkovichi, Braslav, Orsha districts, and Novopolotsk.


Friendly, cohesive, creative, vibrant, and fiercely loyal to each other, they can confidently say that having many children is happiness. They are all different, but they are united by the main thing: together they are a well-coordinated family chord where all notes sound in harmony.


In two competitions ("Rodovod", "My Family - My Country"), parents and their children talked about themselves and their ancestors, from whom they received the commandment to love their family and their native land. Many honor family traditions sacredly. For example, Olga and Yuri Kondratenko from Orsha preserve a rushnyk that is already 124 years old; they only take it out on holidays, and use it to bless children setting off on a long journey. By the way, the art of creating one of the main Belarusian symbols is passed down from generation to generation, and each generation adds its own ornament to the traditional pattern.


The contestants shared secrets on how to maintain harmony and mutual understanding in the home, revealed their creative abilities, and explained where babies come from. It turns out that candy-like daughters are brought from the confectionery, and they immediately start running the show, and even valiant officer fathers gladly follow their orders.

 

Undoubtedly, all families showed their best qualities and were worthy of the main award, but there can be only one winner. The best large family of the region became the Vitebsk residents Marina and Denis Kulakov with daughters Ksenia, Kira, and little Sashenka. In October, they will represent our region in the republican final.
