I was sent a link from Marina from Pokrov. It is in Russian, but tells the story of five sisters who were taken to the Pokrov orphanage in 1993. I have been to that orphanage 5 times now. An interesting perspective how the sisters lived 20 years later. One sister had been in a bad car accident and lost one leg. Her friends are taking care of her and her family is not. The state is helping out. Of interest is the adopted mother came on the show saying how difficult it was and gave reasons or perhaps excuses why she was not involved in her daughter's life. The audience was quite upset and many spoke up during her speech. It was clear the audience did not agree with the mother's position.
I know Svetlana, the orphanage director, and the other care givers in the program.
