The article examines the structure of family values among the Altai, Tuvan, and Khakass peoples, the indigenous inhabitants of three southern Siberian republics of Russia: Altai, Tuva, and Khakassia. The empirical basis of the research consists of the results of a sociological survey conducted by the authors in May — June 2022 in the regions. Dominant family value orientations are identified based on ethnocultural traditional beliefs.
The system of dominant family values is primarily represented by the value of marital union, with a significant component being the equality of gender roles between spouses. Recognition of the values of parenthood and kinship (with emphasis on one's own and adopted children, orientation towards extended family, and the value of the older generation) is also prominent.
It is established that Tuvans tend to be more committed to egalitarianism, large families, and support for relatives. Altai people exhibit a preference for preserving the traditional role of women in the family, supporting free child-rearing practices, and placing less emphasis on distant relatives. Respondents of Khakass origin prioritize the value of women's family role, the significance of children, and the care for the older generation.
