The Sources of the Natural Stone for the Building Activities in Novgorod in the Early 12th Century
It has been an accepted hypothesis until recently that the raw stone for the Novgorod medieval buildings was quarried at the glint on the southern shore of Lake Il'men. The Il'men glint near the villages Buregi and Retlyo still preserves the most remarkable outcrops of the Devonian limestones in the vicinity of Novgorod. The article presents the results of the thin section, palaeontological, geochemical, and stable isotope analyses, which reveale…
The Fragmented Deinstitutionalisation of Russian Child Welfare
The essay discusses the ongoing child-welfare reforms in Russia, conceptualised as deinstitutionalisation, which link Russia closely to international trends in child rights-based child-welfare systems. Drawing from the neo-institutional framework, we ask what kind of institutional change has followed the new ideals of care, with what consequences, and what factors explain the obvious flaws. The essay is the outcome of two research projects and di…
Outsourcing elderly care to private companies in Russia
Why do regions (non)comply or creatively comply in response to federal-driven reforms in Russia? This article studies the interplay of interests and incentives prompted by a contract between a principal and agents on the one hand, and shaped by the regional socio-economic context on the other. The analysis proved that the incapacity of the public sector to satisfy the societal demand for services in urbanised areas encouraged compliance. The crea…

Outsourcing social services to NGOs in Russia
Our research bears on two critical issues for contemporary Russia: federal–regional power relations; and whether Moscow can modernize institutions and address dissatisfaction with social service delivery, a major political issue. It is the first comprehensive study of a major 2015 reform that ended the state monopoly over service provision and initiated outsourcing (contracting out) to socially oriented non-profits (SONPOs) and other non-state or…
Regional particularities of the reform of institutionalized care for children in Russia
Russian Non-Profit Organisations in Service Delivery
The essay examines the social policy principles underlying state funding schemes that shape the functioning of non-profit organisations in service delivery in Russia. Scrutinising federal and regional financial tools, the analysis reveals that some non-profit organisations are engaged with a neoliberal logic promoting state funding based on competitive grant processes and a means-tested approach to clients, while others seek privileged access to …
Interest Representation and Social Policy Making
The essay investigates how Russian veterans’ organisations represent the concerns of their constituency vis-à-vis the Russian state. An interest group approach is applied to investigate the ‘brokering’ function exercised by veterans’ organisations to lobby on behalf of their constituency. The analysis is based on the study of selected veterans’ organisations in Karelia and St Petersburg. The research finds that veterans’ organisations operate in …
Russian welfare reform and social NGOs
This paper examines how civic organisations dealing with social rights have responded to Russian welfare reforms. As beneficiaries of the Soviet paternalistic system of social provision, their interest has been to resist neoliberal policy shifts. However, the crackdown on non-governmental organisations (NGOs) under President Putin de-incentivises making challenging political claims. By distinguishing between 'rent-seeking' and 'profit-seeking' ac…
