“…Large-scale institutional care for orphans still continues to be the dominant form of care in the Russian Federation; this has been confirmed in various studies including the work of anthropologists such as Creuziger (1997), Khlinovskaya Rockhill (2004, 2010 and Stryker (2000Stryker ( , 2012, and from my own research and working experience of institutions in Russia.…”

Institutions of orphan care are immensely complex spaces imbued with social and cultural norms, and can exhibit intricate power relations and particularly severe examples of surveillance. While there have been numerous excellent quantitative studies of these institutions, they reveal little of the complexity and heterogeneity of the spaces, and there remains a need for more qualitative and particularly ethnographic studies of spaces of orphan care to reveal their nuances. Drawing upon the author's reflections on a highly unusual space of orphan care, this article makes two major contributions to Children's Geographies: (1) it employs a sorely neglected aspect of Foucault's work in Children's Geographies, Mettray, in analysing surveillance and discipline in an institution providing care to orphaned children and (2) It highlights the heterogeneity of these spaces and provides an example of best practice in spaces of orphan care.

“…The dominance of institutional care in both countries before the reform dates back to the Soviet ideology of collective care and upbringing and the idea of the paternalist state as the primary caregiver. The Soviet child-welfare model prioritised care in state residential facilities regarded as a favourable environment for children to grow up to be good Soviet citizens (Stryker, 2012). Apart from child welfare, other collective forms of education, such as work colonies and pioneer houses, also included living in an institutional setting.…”

This article compares how the global policy of deinstitutionalisation (DI) of child welfare travelled, was translated and institutionalised in two post-Soviet countries – Russia and Kazakhstan. These countries share a Soviet legacy of child-welfare systems dominated by residential care and have recently introduced similar DI reforms based on the global child rights framework. However, despite similar institutional legacies and post-Soviet conditions, the DI reforms have produced different outcomes in terms of the scope and pace of the institutionalisation of DI policy. In Russia, the DI of child welfare has been a fast-moving and sweeping reform, while in Kazakhstan, the implementation of DI has been an incremental and gradual process. We argue that the institutionalisation of the DI policy in two post-Soviet contexts was an outcome of the interplay between structural factors and the agency of policy actors who translated global DI ideology into domestic policy discourses. Yet, they were ‘sold’ with quite different discursive frames – one nationalist, another one trans-nationalist – in these two countries. We claim that the geopolitical position of a country is also a significant factor for framing and thus, in the end, in how child-welfare systems have been reformed.

The study of the orphans’ communicative competence is a topical thing. The situation of the orphanhood disrupting the function of communication, affects the subsequent development of the child, hindering his intellectual and personal development, preventing the formation of confidence in the security of the surrounding world, initiative, autonomy and identity. The orphanhood can destroy the children’s’ emotional connections with the environment, the world of peers and adults, causing the deepest secondary disorders of a mental, physical, and social nature. Method of the theoretical analysis and systematization of scientific ideas, individual-typological questionnaire L. N. Sobchik; method of the research of communicative-characterological tendencies T. Leary; method of expert assessment of the communicative development level A. G. Samokhvalova; method of communicative control research M. Schneider; diagnostics of communicative social competence; diagnostics of “emotional intelligence” N. Hall; and the assessment were used. We identified the neediness of special psychoeducational work for the successful adaptation of the orphans. It will ensure the mastery of a complex of social roles and the formation of communicative competence. The results complement the existing theoretical positions on the problem of the communicative competence of orphans can be used in the correctional psychological work with orphan-graduates.
