The topic of this edition of the RAD is need-based social policies in Russia. First, Martin Brand examines the extent of poverty in Russia and analyzes the government’s policies to combat it. He concludes that Russia needs a sustained high rate of economic growth if the government is to achieve its goal of halving poverty by 2024. Second, Theresa Hornke discusses the latest family policy debates and developments in Russia. To do so, Hornke treats family policy as a multidimensional strategy and analyzes it in terms of communication, benefits and legislation.
