Fujimura takes us across history and into Russian society, its
orphanages and shelters, and along the streets of the nation to see
how abandoned children are stigmatized and shunned. Readers come to
understand how and why these children, left orphans by death or by
choice, form their own culture to find power and to survive. This
pioneering work on child abandonment looks at Russian society from
a new angle: from the perspectives of abandoned youngsters and
their caretakers. Based on direct observation of and interviews
with abandoned children, this work shows why any effort to rescue
these children calls for a deep understanding of Russian culture,
and why any effort to address abandonment in Russia calls for a
joint effort between psychologists, social workers, and the
children themselves. Researcher Fujimura takes us across history,
