As we continue the journey of Russian orphans, the Russian Federation has made many positive steps to help orphans. Funding for programs and support have appeared over the years. More protection of children has come in the legal system. Much of the support focuses on the younger children.
As the economy drops in Russia, one would wonder how social programs will fare. I am not a proponent of economic sanctions as it tends to hurt the common people more. It also causes isolation and in the case of Russia could leave the leadership open to military options. I read one study in which nations that have major economic ties rarely go to war, then the risk increases as countries are less economically integrated. anyway, the price of oil has also impacted the economy of Russia. Will the State have to cut social programs in order to improve the economy. Hard to say, but Russians can be very patient to ride out the storms of life.
