Perm Oblast's approach to reducing rural poverty
Effectively addressing rural poverty is a challenge around the world and not less so in the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States. In 2005 Russia's Perm Oblast implemented an innovative program with the objective of increasing the income of very poor rural families on a permanent basis.

Reform of in-kind benefits in Russia: High Cost for a Small Gain
Based on national legislation passed in the summer of 2004, Russia implemented wide-ranging changes to its system of category-based social benefits in January 2005. Implementation difficulties made headlines around the world. This article discusses the structure of the reforms and examines the extent to which they: (a) reduce or eliminate the categorical allocation of public resources; (b) replace in-kind benefits with cash transfers; and (c) tar…
Participation in a decentralised housing allowance programme in a transition economy
When Russia's housing allowance programme, the country's first means‐tested programme, was introduced in 1994, it was truly innovative.

Based on 1995 and 1996 survey data, tests are reported for three c…

Part of these objectives also included improving the quality of maintenance in state housing by breaking up the mon…

From the fundamental shift towards private ownership to the supporting legislation, substantial progress has been made towards the realisation of this goal. One of the most significant elements of the housing reform is the law on privatisation of the housing stock…
