This book provides new and empirically grounded research-based
knowledge and insights into the current transformation of the
Russian child welfare system. It focuses on the major shift in
Russia's child welfare policy: deinstitutionalisation of the system
of children's homes inherited from the Soviet era and an increase
in fostering and adoption. Divided into four sections, this book
details both the changing role and function of residential
institutions within the Russian child welfare system and the
rapidly developing form of alternative care in foster families, as
well as work undertaken with birth families. By analysing the
consequences of deinstitutionalisation and its effects on children
and young people as well as their foster and birth parents, it
provides a model for understanding this process across the whole of
the post-Soviet space. It will be of interest to academics and
students of social work, sociology, child welfare, social policy,
political science, and Russian and East European politics more
generally.
