“There is enough space and love for everyone”: a family from Orenburg, raising eight foster children, moved to the Crimea and built a house on the seashore January 19, 2023 13:50

A house with sea and mountain views, a spacious kitchen with a huge table and all household members. The Vedyashev family, which has 10 children, dreamed of this for many years! The mother of the family, Ekaterina, knows from her own experience what it is like to be brought up in an orphanage. Therefore, many years ago, she decided to change the lives of children from dysfunctional families. Now 47-year-old Ekaterina and Andrei have eight adopted children at once.

The Komsomolskaya Pravda correspondent found out what brought the Vedyashevs to the peninsula and saw with her own eyes how such a large family lives.

DREAMED ABOUT A BIG FAMILY

The family moved to Crimea in 2018 from Orenburg.

– We have always wanted a big family and all our children to be happy. Well, I also really wanted to live in warm lands near the sea. Perhaps that is why we chose Crimea as a place for the soul, – says Ekaterina Vedyasheva to KP-Krym.

In Orenburg, Andrey and Ekaterina had a stable job as an accountant and a firefighter, their own apartment and many friends. The couple began to think about moving to warmer climes for a long time. The first thoughts about this came when the newlyweds had their first child. A few years later, another daughter was born, and then Orenburg residents began to adopt babies from orphanages. Now nine children live with the spouses. They affectionately call Andrey and Ekaterina “mother” and “dad”.

FIVE YEARS IN RENTED APARTMENTS

The couple chose a small village near Alushta – Maly Mayak as their paradise.

– I quit my job, we packed up, sold our apartment and drove thousands of miles away. We were very well received here, good care is good. Much better than in Orenburg. If earlier benefits were sometimes not enough at all to afford something, now everything is fine. Our children dress well, go to different circles, go out with friends and do not deny themselves anything, – says the mother of many children.

For about five years the Vedyashevs lived in rented apartments in the Crimea. At first it was difficult, since even a three-room apartment was not enough for a large family, so we immediately decided to build a large and spacious house. In this they were helped by subsidies and benefits for large families. At the end of August 2022, the three-story mansion was completely built, so the residents of Orenburg moved there with their belongings.

– This year we celebrated the New Year in our house for the first time. A very unusual feeling. Especially when they dreamed about it for so long, – the mother of many children notes.

HOW IT ALL STARTED

If now their life looks like from the cover of a magazine, then before it was not quite like that. The history of the family began in the late 90s, when Ekaterina and Andrey got married. First, they had their first daughter, who is now 23 years old. A little later, another one was born, and a few years later, adopted children began to live in the family.

– I am a receptionist myself. My own mother was a drinker and just gave me to one woman. It was back in the 70s. When I was nine years old, my adoptive mother died of an illness, and her brother took me in. We are still in touch with him. Although he is not my own, he is still my family, he knows all my children and always supports. Due to the fact that I grew up without my own parents, I always wanted to help children who were abandoned or who live poorly. We took our first adopted son from a drinking family. They lived in our village, and once I heard him tell his mother that he would no longer ask for food, only so that she would not beat him. Then the woman was deprived of parental rights, and I took him to me, ”recalls Ekaterina.

Every year or two new children appeared in the Vedyashev family. Ekaterina and Andrei helped them to move away from difficult relationships with their relatives, gave them care and love. Children’s hearts began to thaw over time, and the children responded to their adoptive parents in return.

VERSATILE FAMILY

Every evening it is noisy in the house of Orenburgers. Children’s laughter can be heard on every floor, and the kitchen smells delicious of food. Each child is busy with his own work: someone draws, someone plays the button accordion or guitar, and someone helps to cook in the kitchen.

– Our family is diverse. I love knitting very much. Because of this, my two daughters became needlewomen. Third-grader Galya loves to draw and sculpt different figures from plasticine, Nastya embroiders, the boys play musical instruments, sing and dance. For such merits, they often go on vacation to the Artek children’s camp, – says Ekaterina.

CHILDREN DREAM TO WORK IN THE POLICE

Despite the large number of hobbies, almost all pupils of the Vedyashevs from a very early age dream of becoming policemen or investigators in order to help people and be like their father.

Now the house by the sea has already been completed, it remains only to make cosmetic repairs and install a fence. But Orenburg does not stop there. According to the head of the family, a bathhouse and an apiary for growing honey will soon appear on the site.

– We don’t plan to stop. If any of the children need help, we are ready to shelter more. There is enough space for everyone, love too, – the mother of many children concludes with a smile.

Japanese kindergarten through the eyes of Russian parents

Photos: Depositphotos / Illustration: Julia Zamzhitskaya

Parenting, a strict system of rules and a ban on tears. What surprises the gardens of the Land of the Rising Sun of Russian mothers, tell Oksana and Inga .

Two types of Japanese kindergartens

There are two types of kindergartens in Japan , which fundamentally differ from each other by the conditions of stay and goals – hoikuen and etien .

Yetien

Yetien is somewhat reminiscent of the preparatory groups of Russian gardens. Pupils are concentrated, first of all, on studying and preparing for school.

Children from three to six years old go to these kindergartens. There they spend no more than five hours a day – from 9 to 14. Therefore, one of the parents has to leave work to look after the child for the rest of the day.

This type of garden can be both municipal and private. Among the private ones, it is worth highlighting those that work at large universities. Their pupils are practically guaranteed admission to the school and the university itself in the future.

Hoikuen

Hoikuen accepts children from three months to six years. This garden is aimed at the development of children and accompanying their leisure. There is no education here as such.

Children are in the garden from 8 to 18-19 from Monday to Friday and additionally half of Saturday. To get a place in the group, parents need to document that each of them works more than four hours a day. Housewives are closed.

Kindergarten fees can range from $60 to $800 a month, all the same, depending on how much the parents pay in taxes. The more taxes, the higher the kindergarten fee. That is, indirectly, the payment depends on earnings. But it passes through the municipality, so neither educators nor other parents know how much someone pays. Such a system does not cause inequality and bias towards children.

Ethien. Oksana’s story

Oksana experienced Etien’s methods on herself. She faced a rigid system of rules that was difficult even for the Japanese themselves to comply with:

“Education began with “ obento ” – a lunch box that every mother should cook for her child in the morning. It turned out that the contents of my box did not meet the requirements,” recalls Oksana .

The head of the garden strictly said that there should be 24 types of food in the lunch. I had to go to a demonstrative culinary master class in the house of an exemplary mother. Nobody was interested in the fact that neither Oksana herself nor her child endured herring and hijiki (algae) from gobos (edible root):

“It was useless to object: in Japan it is customary to live by the rules of the group. For housewives, the “mom” team is the group whose charter must be unquestioningly obeyed. Don’t like it – leave. Naturally, together with the child. Attempts to word do not work here. As a result of long shopping trips, I made my daughter’s “obento” from purchased foods.

Once, during a kindergarten hike in the mountains, four-year-old Oksana burst into tears. But by the standards of the garden, such behavior is unacceptable. “Guilty” children and their parents were sent in revenge to the highest mountain in the district, for strength lies in overcoming.

Another educational idea of the kindergarten administration was built on overcoming:

“The feeling that I was sent to kindergarten for the second time did not leave me even at home. On Sundays, a mother sent by the team began to come to us with children. The purpose of the visit is to wean me from the bad habit of sleeping long hours on weekends. According to Japanese rules, there are only two ways out of this situation: submission or leaving the group.

Subsequently, Oksana transferred the child to khoikuen. One of the Japanese parents told her that such a transition from garden to garden is considered a stain on her reputation. But Oksana did not regret:

“Here a daughter can live among children without an ascetic upbringing, and I have become an adult again,” she says.

Hoikuen.

Inga’s story

Inga gave both her daughters to hoikuen when they were one and a half years old. Over the 15 years of her life in Japan, Inga got used to everything, but even she was surprised how much her parents are included in the life of the garden, even when they are full-time:

“We were offered options for helping the garden. For example, helping the organizers of a sports competition or holding a traditional winter holiday when everyone cooks mochi (sweet cakes made from hot rice dough). I was surprised by the high degree of responsibility of parents: they take a place in advance and do not go anywhere until the end. The most unexpected was the offer to come to the planting at six in the morning. And many came.”

Among the negative points are the lack of daytime sleep in children older than three years and a negative attitude towards the child’s refusal of unloved dishes for lunch. But there are more positives.

“In Hoikuen, children are not just looked after — they are taught to manage time, interact in a team, and be independent.
