Markova continues with the changes we see in the current world situation. When we think of orphans we think of the loss of one or both parents. Many are abandoned due to violent conflict, economic downturns, parents leaving to other countries to work, etc. 80% of Russian orphans still have parent's living. They have been abandoned through the social and economic upheaval in Russia. What does a society do when parent's give up or lose their parental responsibility and rights? Another thought occurred to me, politics aside, perhaps these vulnerable populations are also caught in the economic sanctions as a country tries to adjust for the financial changes. And for the young adults, does that leave them without work? In Russia the orphans tend to depend on social help and may be even less inclined to find other opportunities.
