The key facts
- Elena Yampolskaya proposed creating children's clothing with Putin quotes
- Example: her seven-year-old daughter uses the phrase 'Whoever calls names, names himself'
- Earlier, at SPIEF 2025, T-shirts with quotes from Putin and Lavrov were handed out — more than five thousand of them
The presidential adviser's idea
Elena Yampolskaya, an adviser to the President of Russia, proposed creating a line of children's clothing featuring quotes from Vladimir Putin. In her view, some statements by the head of state could be used in the everyday lives of the youngest Russians. The initiative was described by Kremlin pool journalist Alexander Yunashev.
An example from her own family
As an example, Yampolskaya cited her seven-year-old daughter. «Whoever calls names, names himself»For instance, my seven-year-old daughter, during conflicts in the sandbox, speaks like the president: 'Whoever calls names, names himself,'
A precedent at SPIEF
A similar practice already existed at the state level: as Life.ru previously reported, at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, participants were given T-shirts with quotes from Putin and Lavrov. In June 2025, more than five thousand T-shirts were prepared for SPIEF participants, on which a chosen quote could be printed. Yampolskaya's proposal remains just an idea for now — the publication does not report any decisions made or the launch of production.
