Irina Volynets
Irina Volynets (; born August 2, 1978, in the city of Kazan, Tatar ASSR, in the Soviet Union) is a Russian journalist, human rights activist, and leader of the National Parents Committee social movement. In 2017, she became a candidate in the 2018 Russian presidential election, but withdrew her candidacy in favor of Vladimir Putin.

In 2016, Volynets spoke out in support of the proposal to ban abortion in Russia. In the same year, she advocated for the decriminalization of beatings in families. She claimed that mothers are to blame for today's men not being masculine enough and proposed the introduction of "chastity lessons" for girls in schools. Volynets disagrees with the idea that full gender equality has been achieved in Russia and opposes the abolition of the Unified State Exam in Russia. She is also an advocate for the creation of the Ministry of Family and Children's Affairs.

In 2020, Volynets was elected as a member to the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation. She was also appointed Commissioner for the Rights of the Child in the Republic of Tatarstan.
