Orphanages in Russia

[Elena Clark]

Dear Shannon,

The 2005 film "The Italian" is about a boy in a Russian orphanage: http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Итальянец_(фильм,_2005).

If you want first-hand reports on life in orphanages, you could try asking around local Russian/Slavic departments to see if they have any students who were adopted from Russia or any faculty members who have adopted children.  There are also programs for American students to volunteer in Russian orphanages, so you could ask if anyone has gone on one of those programs as well.  

Good luck!
Elena

Hello Seelangs Community,

I've recently started research on orphanages in Russia (Soviet, particularly the Gorbachev era, and Post-Soviet), and was wondering if anyone could recommend some artistic films and/or literature that are concerned with this topic. In fact, informational literature would also be helpful. I'd like to learn about how they have functioned during the Soviet Union and how they have evolved to the present. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
