A longtime public figure in Russia has proposed the creation of a Ministry of Happiness at a time when many of the nation's citizens have reportedly soured on the 20-month war against Ukraine.Valentina Matviyenko, the chairperson of the Russian Federation Council, said during a speech at the recent Znanie education expo in Moscow that she came up with the idea in 2019 while on a trip to the United Arab Emirates .
In 2009, her son amassed a fortune by age 36 that eclipsed $1 billion.Mikhail Troitskiy, professor of practice at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, told Newsweek that while Matviyenko is likely not among the most corrupt politicians in Russia, her comments should be viewed in the context of the country's current political situation. Russia is known for public figures who may struggle to properly express their sentiments, or those of the citizenry, because they avoid taboo subject matter.
