The Development of Russia’s Child Protection and Welfare System Part 5

Rudnicki cites the common statistic for Russian orphans. "Youth graduating from Russian orphanages experience high rates of crime (40 percent of graduates), drug addiction (40 percent) and/or suicide (10 percent)." The source was a new one for me. It comes from a Russian Site translated as "Big Change." The NGO started in 2002 to help orphan graduates further their education and find jobs. It appears to be a charity supported by Russians and other Europeans. They are located in Moscow.  Looks like I will need to do some research on this organization.
