The Family Code replaces the earlier Code on Marriage and the Family of the RSFSR of 1969, which itself succeeded the first Soviet family codes of 1918 and 1926. The Family Code has been substantially amended, most notably by the Federal Law No. 140-FZ of 3 June 2018, which introduced amendments to reaffirm traditional family values, and by subsequent amendments addressing the rights of children and the protection of the family.</p>
