"My Family is a Living Bridge between Russia and France": Fabrice Sorlin spoke at the International Week of the Peoples of Russia

Fabrice Sorlin, an expert of the World Peoples Assembly, Vice-president of the International Russophile Movement, father of 10 children, participant in numerous public projects, took part in the Plenary session of the International Week "Peoples of Russia" with the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The event took place on November 4, 2026 at the International Trade Center in Moscow.

Fabrice Sorlin has been a reliable partner and loyal friend of the World Peoples Assembly for many years. Since 2015, he has been living in Russia with his family, a milestone for which was the acquisition of Russian citizenship by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation in March 2024. On June 1, 2026, Fabrice's wife Isabelle Beatrice Margaret Laroche-Sorlin was awarded the Order of the Mother Heroine by the head of state. For the first time, this high honor was awarded to a native of France.

During the meeting, Fabrice Sorlin shared the story of the move and his thoughts about the future. According to him, the family, driven by the desire to raise children in a state that carefully preserves traditional and conservative values, took root in Russia.

- Six of our children were born in France - the "homeland of the blood," and four were born in Russia, the "homeland of the heart." My family serves as a living bridge between Russia and France, and this is another weighty argument in favor of protecting friendship between our countries, - the expert noted.

Fabrice Sorlin stressed that his children enrolled in a Russian school for harmonious integration and quick adjustment to a new life, since a genuine understanding of culture is impossible without knowledge of the language.

Speaking about the advantages of living in Russia, Fabrice Sorlin highlighted two key factors: caring for large families and the highest level of security that allows his children to walk safely on the street, use the subway and get to their place of study on their own. He contrasted this reality with the "nihilistic and unstable Western model", noting that Russia offers the world a unique dual alternative: a civilizational (family, traditions, spirituality) and a security model that establishes a multipolar world as opposed to the hegemony of the West.

- Millions of Europeans see hope in Russia and increasingly see it as a "new Noah's Ark" to preserve the future of their families. That's why more and more people want to move here, - he added.

Summing up, Fabrice Sorlin noted that, despite certain difficulties that any foreigner faces in a foreign country, his family has always been accepted here as relatives, as children of Russia.

- Russia is writing world history, and we are very lucky to see this from the front row. That is why I am absolutely confident in our common future, - the expert concluded.
