The department will review all decisions and laws to measure the impact on citizen well-being.

Quin. Valentina Ivanovna Matvienko (1949, USSR) is president of the Russian Senate and a true survivor of politics that has thrived in the shadow of Putinism. Qu. He has proposed the creation of a Ministry of Happiness. Por qu. He wants the department to examine the Government’s proposals. The veteran politician amasses a great fortune at a time when her country is subject to sanctions due to the war.
Russians are persecuted and imprisoned for having different opinions from the Government and many have left their country behind fleeing from war. But the president of the Russian Senate believes that what everyone needs is a Ministry of Happiness. “A department that will review all decisions and laws to see if each new rule or new government decree will make people happier.”
Valentina Matvienko, president of the Russian Federation Council, said during a speech at the recent educational conference Znanie (which means knowledge but was recently created to breathe patriotic values from the juventud) who came up with the idea in 2019 during a trip to the United Arab Emirates. This country has even created tools that measure benchmarks associated with happiness.
The author of the idea believes that we cannot wait: “Right now, a law on general happiness!” Matvienko, 74, has a few things going for her to be happy: a fortune of approximately 9.9 million euros. He also acquired a villa in Venice. The war, however, has placed it under sanctions. The West is now a distant paradise and at the same time a “decaying enemy” for the creatures of Putinism.
Born in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, she was ambassador to Malta and Greece and also governor of Saint Petersburg. Her son, Sergei Matvienkoalso soon found happiness: he was appointed vice president of the Bank of Saint Petersburg when he was only 30 years old.
The proposal to create a Ministry of Happiness comes at a time when the war is lengthening and so are the sanctions, while the Russians are increasingly favorable to a peace agreement let it end with all this. Russia’s Levada Center reported that nearly three in four Russians said they would support President Vladimir Putin if he decided to call for an end to the conflict.
The president of the Senate follows the example of other countries that adopted these government happiness projects in the past. The United Arab Emirates’ measure was preceded by Venezuela, which created its own ministry in 2013. In India it has been implemented at the regional level.
Matvienko, who has presided over the Russian Federation Council since 2011, believes it is now his country’s turn. In 2022, Russia will occupy the 75th place in the world ranking of self-reported happiness, tied with Tajikistan. Finland topped the list and all European countries were ranked happier than Russia.
Matvienko is a political survivor, who has prospered in two very different countries. She rose through the ranks in the Soviet Komsomol youth during the USSR. When Boris Yeltsin When she left office, she was proposed for the 2000 elections that Putin won, but she refused to run. The first time she wanted to run for governor of St. Petersburg, Putin asked her to back out and she obediently did so. In the shadow of Putinism she came to power over Russia’s second city in 2003.
These days he is looking for critical mass for his idea of happiness. “So far, I have a small group that supports this. You are welcome to join. I believe that the time will come when we will create a Ministry of Happiness in Russia.” The war, for her, does not seem to be an obstacle.
