Reforming Child Welfare in the Post-Soviet Space

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 Russias child welfare policy: deinstitutionalisation of the system of childrens 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 the 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.

She works as a university researcher and research coordinator of the Helsinki Inequality Initiative (INEQ) in the Faculty of Social Sciences at University of Helsinki, Finland. She works and publishes on issues of post-socialist welfare state and civil society development, womens activism, family and child welfare policy, and feminist research methods. She leads an international interdisciplinary research project on child welfare in Russia and is involved in a project exploring youth well-being in the Arctic region, with her focus being on the well-being of young care leavers, which she studies principally through participatory research methods.

Maija Jppinen holds a PhD in social work and works as both a university lecturer in the Faculty of Social Sciences in University of Helsinki and a postdoctoral researcher in the bo Akademi University, Finland. Her research interests include Russian studies, gender violence, child welfare, social work practice research, social work with migrants, power asymmetries in social work encounters, migrant citizenisation, and human rights. Methodologically, she specialises in ethnographic research, qualitative research in different kinds of transnational settings, and feminist methodology.

She has accomplished empirical research on various types of non-profits and their involvement in social service provision as well as engagement in interest representation in contemporary Russia. She has worked as a researcher in several international research projects, including the UNRISD research project New Directions in Social Policy: Alternatives from and for the Global South and the international research project based at the University of Helsinki entitled A Childs Right to a Family: Deinstitutionalisation of Child Welfare in Putins Russia.

Anna Pivovarova is a social anthropologist working on parenting, childhood, and kinship. She holds a masters degree in anthropology from the European University at St. Petersburg and works as a PhD candidate at the University of Helsinki focusing on adoptive and foster parenthood in todays Russia.
